Your current president was a commoner until a few years back. So anybody can rule. You just need that first breakthrough.

but i guess he formerly d gov. of a state...

So can you point to any country where anyone came from nowhere (so-called commoner) and ruled (actually led is a better word)?
Yes GEJ was a Governor but before then, he was a nobody. He got his first break by becoming a deputy governor.

Obama did not come from nowhere to lead the US. He was a state and fed senator before becoming the president. Before then he was a nobody. That is how it works.
