The Entitlement Class

One wonders more and more about the debate. Maybe Obama expected more deference.

Obama has an unusual political history. He won his first Illinois congress seat by challenging all his Democratic opponents' petitions signatures and eliminating them all. He became the Democratic nominee by default. Then he ran for the seat unopposed by a Republican. When he ran for the U.S. Senate he drew a strong opponent in Jack Ryan but Obama's operatives managed to have released Ryan's sealed divorce papers (from the extraordinary looking Jeri Lynn Ryan--the "Seven of Nine" Borg character in "Star Trek: Voyager") and the ugly results were made public. Ryan dropped out and he ran unopposed.

He got a Nobel prize by breathing.

Maybe it's not the receivers of tax money who feel entitled. Maybe it's the politicians.
