This is so good, I can’t resist. Obama says his two opponents were “privileged” in comparison to his own early life. McCain sort of agrees. Of course, his idea of privilege might differ a bit.
I don’t begin this mission with any sense of entitlement. America doesn’t owe me anything. I am the son and grandson of Navy admirals, and I was born into America’s service.

I have never lived a day since that I wasn’t thankful for the privilege.
