It’s amazing how many people defer to our political class as if they’re better or more important than anyone else. Absolutely pathetic.
And their media. It's all performance art - the politicians, too. They've carved plenty of "legal" corruption, and the amount of money being thrown at them is attracting the wrong candidates.
As for Obama, that sort of social climbing/status-seeking is hardly uncommon. Personally, I don't see the attraction to surround oneself with a bunch of pretentious celebrity assholes, whom would most likely have their bodyguards throw you to the ground if non-member you came within "A-lister only" distance from them.
It's funny. Trump used celebrity to become POTUS, and Obama used POTUS to become a celebrity.
