My main point was that elitism in Europe and the US are totally different. Barack Obama was born to a broken family, father a Kenyan and absent, they were poor, he grew up to be president. It's possible in Europe 2016, but I don't think likely. Most American CEO's and millionaires are self-made, the average American millionaire drives a pick-up truck. The head of Goldman Sachs grew up poor. European leaders are a whole different breed of 'detached from the plebes'.
