Fifteen years does not guarantee competence, just like being CEO or CTO does not. Besides, if he were successful in business, why would he be in government? Warren Buffet has never held a cabinet position, to my knowledge.

I don't know anything about this particular case or politician, but I sure hope some people go into government/politics in the hopes of being able to change something for the good, rather than merely because they couldn't make it big in industry.
