Re: leaders background sicussion- split from primary watch thread
A president is just a puppet of the elite. Since he is elected in a democratic process, he only has to be a guy with the natural chrisma to score, a good salesman, a good ladies man, a good BSer; and I don't mean just talk the talk and walk the walk, I mean look the looks too (George Washington with his bad teeth couldn't get elected as president today). Someone who can make the public fall for that he is doing is for them, when in fact, he is really serving the interests of the elite.
But the formula of makings of presidents has been almost the same. You make it to Harvard or Yale law school and start making connections. When American oil companies were dealing with Azeri government for oil contracts, it was "If you want a contract, put my son thru Harvard." All presidents have been members of the Council on Foreign Relations, if that tells you something.
