Gotta get rid of that BS pronto.
It seems some Americans want superathletes, superstars, super teachers, super doctors.... and the bozo next door for President!
Hasn't that always been the case to some extent with American politics? I'm reminded of Nixon's attempt to cultivate a downhome image by blabbering endlessly about his Yorkshire Terriers and his much-touted - albeit probably genuine - love for American football.
That doesn't make it any less wrong, though.
