Quote of the Day

"Those of you who live in Iowa, you have this extraordinary privilege. You are going to decide, more than probably any other American who the next president is going to be, who the next leader of the free world is going to be -- So I hope you all decide to take advantage of this opportunity."

- Senator Barack Obama, speaking to a crowd in Iowa.

Note also that Barack Obama has cooperated with the DNC's efforts to disenfranchise the voters in Michigan and Florida, going so far as to removing his name from the Michigan primary ballots. What concerns me the most about Barack Obama is that he seems to exemplify the Liberal Elite position: choosing the next leader of our country is a "privilege" which is dolled out by the powerful to certain special groups at the exclusion of others; voting is not a right to the Liberal Elite or to Barack Obama; it is a "privilege" which is allocated in "extraordinary" fashion, with differing weights given to different votes based on arbitrary historical esotary, the whims of the powerful, or whatever special interest happens to have either the ear or the pocketbook of the decision-makers.
