Yes, Barack is the same profile. Both he and JD were plotting their political trajectories from their law school days and got some critical early help from older boosters. In JD's case, it was primarily Amy Chua and Peter Thiel that help propel him forward. For Barack it was the likes of Abner Mikva, Emil Jones and Valerie Jarrett.[/quote]

JD has clearly been obsessed with politics since he was a teen. The fake military box checking. Majored in poli sci at OSU. Interned for politicians at OSU. Job at AEI. Guy is a lifelong wormy schemer who was trying to build the perfect resume. [/quote]

I don’t understand what’s wrong with having goals and working to achieve them. Plenty of people know what they want to do as a career and set long term goals for himself. And then step by step they make decisions and position themselves to obtain the end. I am not a Vance fan but insulting him because he had childhood goals to get into politics is lame. Plenty of people have these goals. [/quote]

DP. In an ideal world, you want authentic servant leaders in politics. Not politics in service of ego. Of course, we don't live in an ideal world though and this is rarely the case.

It's always good when a politician has a good answer to "what do I hope to achieve by entering politics and is politics the best way to achieve it?". For many of the ambitious types, being in politics is the end itself, not the means. Such character types are capable of anything, because ambition and notoriety, rather than service and principles, are the animating factors behind their engagement in politics. [/quote]
