I really would question his thinking regarding the "little people"...
Partly because he has shown himself to be very liberal in all other catagories...AND, during that press conference he made some comment about how since Senators don't GET the kind of security that the POTUS has...that they have to provide it themselves.
It smacked of an "entitlement mentality" to me...like he felt wronged.
Well, just in case he doesn't know - neither do the "little people" and so do the "little people." ;0)
