49. This is really making me weep.

There's not that many reasons, or avenues, that one gets in his position.

Connections help, but I don't think he started out with any.

Smarts, education, motivation, developing connections. That's a lot of work.

Motivation - me or we? Well, I do still think he's a corporatist, and I can see how he (I assume) found it necessary, whether I agree or not.

But do I think he's basically for we the people? Well, duh.

Am I grateful? Well, duh.
