Wait, he’s a what?

(ABC News) — President Obama is using a new label to describe himself in making the case for a second term: chauvinist.

“I’m a chauvinist,” Obama told a crowd of 450 supporters who each paid $1,000 or more for a reception at a Bellevue, Wash., hotel.

“I want America to have the best stuff. I don’t want to go to China and see their airports better than ours, or go to Europe and see their railroads faster than ours,” he said.

To bankroll the “best stuff,” Obama says he will continue to ask wealthier Americans, especially millionaires and billionaires, to “pay their fair share.”

“For all of us to succeed, we have to have an investment in each other’s success,” he explained later.
