I realize publicizing winners keeps casinos in business, but how do B. Clinton and B. Obama fit with this, in contrast to the Bushes? They studied hard AND played the social game. But I guess President isn't really an elite job, since they're beholden to the real elites who didn't have to study for inherited power and influence. I'm not trying to make the case the game isn't rigged, only that it can be hacked.

The President is "elite" by any reasonable definition . amd Barack Obama went to Harvard Law, which is OPs textbook example of an elite position. The key is that Obama and Clinton were selfmade, while Jeb Bush plowhorsed through life doing what he was told and riding the Bush family name train. (GWB actually worked a bit harder -- at politics -- to be the leading Bush of his generation)
