Unity and Shared Responsibility

In this video Barack Obama simultaneously takes the high road and the low road. He denounces the selfishness and irresponsibility of the Republicans while simultaneously appealing to the selfishness of what he calls "the middle class'. He even goes so far as to say, in effect, "If you vote for me I will give you a thousand dollars."

He illustrates that the problem with democracy is the 'demos' -- the people. We aren't any better than the greedy-pig selfish rich. We vote against our own interest time after time, not because we are altruistic, but because we are too stupid, ill-informed, and easily distracted not to.

Democracy is the right to vote for the scumbag of your choice.
