Politicians are the few, who get richer and richer

 'Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few'

opined David Hume

How is it that the few (politicians) become so obscenely  rich?   Biden might be viewed as a man who spent a lifetime in public service or, as a man who have filched a life time of wages from the taxpayer.

As to Obama, the only thing he apparently ever did before coming to prominence was to be a community activist, ie a quasi social worker, now he is worth billions he is a zillionaire, pass the sick bucket, and this supposedly bright spark appears of be embarrassingly dim with his pronouncements, ;...you gotta see this thing in context...' well context has a beginning but no ending, and then, '...the Queen 'did not seem to mind' when his wife broke protocol by

putting her arm around the Queen.  How would he know whether the Queen minded or not?  The context here is 500 years of protocol.

His wife who apparently failed her entrance to University (I am not good at exams she admitted)

and wrote her thesis in a language 'not known to human kind', as Christopher Hitchens observed makes pronouncement of stupefying banality

'they go low while we go high'

and the coda to all this is; they get richer and richer and richer
