Obama, like all “progressives” (formerly known as avowed socialists), believes in rule by an elite class.
An IBD column yesterday has some stunning quotes, dug up by George Will.
Professor Obama, who will seek re-election on the 100th anniversary of Wilson’s 1912 election, understands, which makes him melancholy. Speaking to Katie Couric on Feb. 7, Obama said:
“I would have loved nothing better than to simply come up with some very elegant, academically approved approach to health care, and didn’t have any kinds of legislative fingerprints on it, and just go ahead and have that passed. But that’s not how it works in our democracy. Unfortunately, what we end up having to do is to do a lot of negotiations with a lot of different people.”
Note his aesthetic criterion of elegance, by which he probably means sublime complexity.
This reminded me of a political conversation with a friend of mine, who strongly felt that government should be run by PhD’s only. Well folks, this is what we have got!
Obama regularly lectures us on the right answer. He tells us where we and his opponents are wrong. He does not like having to explain his reasons to the “little people”.
Obama wants to “fundamentally change” America .. even if he can’t get the votes fair and square through the Senate and House.
Vote “no” for health care reconciliation. Vote YES for America!
