I have despised Gates since the early ‘90s. There always was something wrong and off-putting about him. Got the same feeling I got as when looking at Obama.

Exactly...on both counts.

Fiddler on the Roof has an epic line for the Gates types:

The most important men in town would come to fawn on me.
They would ask me to advise them like a Solomon the Wise.
"If you please, Reb Tevye..."
"Pardon me, Reb Tevye..."
Posing problems that would cross a rabbi's eyes
Ya-da-dee-da-da, Ya-da-dee-da

And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong, when you're rich, they think you really know

[vivenne]

Ha! Me to, about both.

[New Perspective]

Interesting that you say that, I felt the same way. I look at people and it is as if I can see their real self, slimy and untrustworthy.
