I think there has been an over abundance of Ivy League (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia) educated presidents.  An air of elitism permeates from these educational institutions.  Our really great presidents (Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Truman, Reagan) had no formal education or were educated at small relatively unknown colleges.

Now we have a president that is not only an elitist but also a socialist Muslim.  He goes to Egypt to emote about his Muslim background and apologize to  the world for America.  I heard a comedian on TV say, "He should paint WE APOLOGIZE on the belly of Air Force One and fly all over the rest of the world at 500 feet."  All humor has to have an element of truth to be humorous. This humor is pathetically funny.
