These are the top 3 cities in terms of population in the US. What is it exactly that makes urban areas like these so superior in wisdom vs the rest of the country such that people like Obama think they should decide how the rest of us live - via the popular vote?
That doesn't even take into account the fact that in NYC 37.2% of the population are foreign born (those counted in the last census) and 49.1% speak a language other than English at home; and in LA 38.2% of the population are foreign born and 60% speak a language other than English at home.
