Obama, Wilson and Elitism
[From Article]
"Woodrow Wilson President of Princeton would be comfortable at Harvard today. Promoting elitism to run the government and to tell the uneducated unwashed citizens what they should do is nothing new. Walter Lippmann promoted this too. John Dewey believed all citizens should be allowed to participate in decision-making."
[From Article]
"Wilson was the first president to criticize the Founding Fathers. He faulted them for designing a government too susceptible to factions that impede disinterested experts from getting on with government undistracted."
