re: #134 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Obama was always branded as an elitist although he got where he got through lots of hard work as well. So did the Clintons or Joe Biden.

We did have plenty of Presidential candidates who fit the Elite category through birth or marriage: Trump, McCain, Romney, Kerry, Bush, Gore…

The trick is to be from the elite but to sell oneself as not belonging to it.

Sort of like the Cape Cod “coastal elite” Bush family passing themselves off as folksy Texans?
