Please see my post 44, Sentis. As a matter of fact, I almost wrote that about Clinton as well.
I admire and respect the President, but the reality is that he got where he is today because of money and powerful connections. Neither Clinton or Reagan had those to help them when they started their careers.
I have nothing against rich people, either, just pointing out a fact.
I, too, much prefer people who start at the bottom and lie, cheat, and sell their soul to the Devil to get to the top to someone who starts off at or near the top and doesn't have to do those things.
You see, it matters how a "self-made man" becomes that way.
Yes, it's admirable that a self-made man sold out this country to China for nuclear secrets. You'll understand if I don't stand up and applaud this service to all 280 million of us.
