I'd have to agree with all of the above.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, most politicians seem to be connected to big business lobbyists in some way -- it's how they get their money. Because unfortunately in order to get any media attention or name recognition - you'd have to have a lot of money. And the people who can give you the most are corporate interests.

Interesting thing about qualifications...my co-worker and cubicle mate keeps ranting about the fact that various of our presidents and politicians had no real qualifications.

Co-worker: "What happened to qualifications?? A peanut farmer could become President? A movie star?
A reality star, who inherited funds to bribe folks to become a business guy? Seriously? Anyone can be President? A bodybuilder and action movie star became Governor???"

I suppose he has a point. Although I admittedly liked the peanut farmer, not the best President though. ;-)
