Nepotism is not a trademark of the Mideast only --there's nepotism everywhere, including Europe, Asia, the US Ok, and your point is? My point was that George is a product of a system (advancement through nepotism) that is a major rampant problem of the region of the world (Arabia) that he wants to reform.

My point was that George is a product of a system (advancement through nepotism) that is a major rampant problem of the region of the world (Arabia) that he wants to reform. As far as I can tell, George's advancement throughout his life owes a lot to his family ties rather than to his own ability, and this makes me less inclined to vote for him. It also adds to my skepticism about his ability to be a leader with above average intelligence, which he confirms himself by emphasizing his "strong" capabilities than his "smart" capabilities. As I've said many times, ANY US president can be strong. The guy with the biggest military in the world, and larger than the next military by 5x is, by definition, strong. Why doesn't George ever emphasize his intelligent leadership???
