Barack Obama:
"Folks in D.C. still don't have a voice in their national government. That's wrong. Residents shouldn't be treated like tenants. You are part of our government, which is why I will support full voting rights."
I wonder if Obama is aware that people in DC
do have a voice in their national government. Besides having an elected (but non-voting) Member of Congress,
they can vote for president of the United States (as per
the 23rd Amendment). Makes me wonder if he'll be asking any DC residents for their votes.
