The Political Class Today

Pres. Obama said it yesterday-we can't have elites who have more rights than the rest of us.
Who is he kidding?
This is what politicians have been morphing into over the last fifty years.
Let's say a young motorist is stopped by police and is deemed under the influence. What happens to young person? The answer is, it depends on who his parent is, and of course the political affiliation of the officer or the interests of the police department and its superiors.
Literally.
Now is this a knock on Democrats? The answer is "sometimes." It can go either way. In places where this happens, it depends on who is in charge.
We are supposed to be a nation governed by law, not men, and "without fear or favor" but we have lost this.
It is gone.
We now have an entrenched ruling class with privileges apart from those of the rest of us.
Look at Congressional pensions and health care. It is something the rest of the US does not have and that they will NOT GIVE UP when they push "universal health care" on the rest of us.
We will be stuck in crowded waiting rooms with all the coughers while they go to their taxpayer-funded special facilities.
After all, their positions make them more important than the rest of us so they should get special treatment. Of course.
They have the laws they write to ensure their perpetual reelection, and they hold on until it is time to pass the position on to their heirs.
We will always have Senators named Kennedy and Biden, for these are dynasties now.
I think it is a terrible shame, too, that we have lost our way as a nation.
