It maybe more important that this guy is a high-powered business leader, less important that he is a Muslim.

The US news media have a habit of trashing successful business leaders who try to move into elective office.

The professional politicians, news media and showbiz types all work together to promote each other. They party together, golf together, drink together. They do other things together, an example being a 15 year affair between Barbara Walters and Senator Edward Brook.

We keep settling people like Joe Biden and Bill Clinton who never spent a day in a private sector job. They went directly from school into the employ of a political party which groomed them to be professional office holders.

If we are going to get people back to work, the business that hire people must thrive. November 2 will put a buncha business folks in Washington and send a buncha self-serving professional politician critters back home.
