I am not trying to instigate a long poli-sci thread, but what is interesting to me
is the subtle but, serious-as-a-heartattack realization by so many of us in the US:
the president gig has become an orchestrated, puppet on a string deal. Big power
brokers, big and, maybe scary interest backers, huge freakin dough, long lists of
angles and motives and "owe mes", etc.
I don't want to sound naive; I am not, but I suspect that just in my lifetime, some
of the criteria have changed in terms of how one gets a shot at the presidency and
that process, even since Truman,
(the oldest pres in "my era".)
The Big Wheels do turn and, run "the show"...methinks.
