"Impressive audience. The haves and the have mores. Some call you elite. I call you my base."
Flashback from 2000.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_E._Smith_Memorial_Foundation_Dinner

He represented a very few people. The president should represent 100% including 99%, not just the 1%. We tried having a president of the 1%. It didn't work out too well.

1. In fact, a president of the 99% would do just fine.
The fact that the 1% ARE the 1% means they don't really need any help from the government.

3. "We tried having a president of the 1%." We had nothing to do with it. The United States Supreme
Court in a 5-4 unsigned decision appointed Bush to the highest elective office. I call it the closest election in history and only nine votes counted, to hell with the rest of us and to hell with democracy.
