These are elected servants of the people, not royalty.
All of’em walk around like a bunch of elitist hob knobs thumbing their noses at the peasant masses.
Part of the blame can go to those who freakin idolize these candidates to some sort of superstar status through the election and into their prospective offices.
These two damn perverts, Wu and Weiner get nailed for acting like they have, then leave office with guaranteed HUGE sums in the way of perks and benefits for life.
How has this happened?
Because long term planning met opportunity. When we let the DemocRATs have both houses (and the presidency) for two years they pushed everything they have wanted for 40 years down our throats.
Obama and his adherents have more in common with the typical banana republic junta members or the chieftains of some backwards African country taking the money from minerals or humanitarian aide for their own parties and mansions. Or like the elite Party members or dictators in failed socialist countries of the past, or N.Korea today. Except that they are far more demeaning of their country (usually a leader claims to like his country and people- even while exploiting them.) The Obamas seem from the first day of the campaign to have nothing but contempt for a large part of America and indeed the US itself.
