Francis Fukuyama gets his digs in about the Clinton legacy. Under the guise of profound social analysis, the piece is just an excuse to remind the reader about the ‘bobo’ (‘bomemian bourgeoisie’) concept, and then conclude: ‘(T)he Clintons were quintessential “bobos”: crudely materialistic, self-absorbed, and
power-hungry, but at the same time unable to admit any of this to themselves because they believed
their intelligence, education and sophistication entitled them to a higher level of respect. Like others in
his generation, the man presiding over America’s most recent decade of greed could look himself in the
mirror and pronounce himself satisfied with what he saw.’ Wall Street Journal
