Good point per remembering GW and his 'fairness' to Helen - who invariably - as Libs do; responded with the ugliest of 'ugly' per her every response/attack when called upon. Doubt Helen EVER; entertained any appreciation for GW's efforts.

To bigger picture; GW was well aware that he was President; not just 'of and for' Republicans; but that he 'repped' the 'other Party' - and all Americans - as well. He was not divisive; though the Libs claimed him so; and he was never 'arrogant' by the power he assumed on America's behalf. Rather; in the Authentic; GW - like his Father and family - was of 'humble mind'. He was acutely aware, that Presidential Power was not defined in the 'personal'; nor so assigned.

Obama; the total; antithesis; per his mega-narcissism; his need and 'will-to-power'; defining his 'totalitarian' inclinations. Obama believes the 'power of the Presidency' is his personal power to claim and wield.

GW - per his decent character - had no such illusions. Huge difference in MO's here; particularly when it comes to motivations for seeking power and imagining 'absolute power'.

There IS something; of course; to say for NOT electing those who have never had wealth and power; for they are less likely to be drawn to it; for the wrong reasons; or 'use it'; for the wrong reasons.

Best to look for the 'authentic' whatever the case. Of course; we have a generation of voters; who have grown up; saturated in the Liberal MO - entertained by the 'Jerry Springer Model'; and of course; the 'ugly as well' per Reality-not TV; and so; how do they know; recognize; appreciate. ..those who are authentic in their values and motivations?

Given results of Election; it would seem; beyond the OWS MO/entitled 'class' and/or mindset; there are too many, cannot make the otherwise; critical distinctions.
