Obama Responds to Being Called, "Out of Touch."

This is the same Hillary Clinton that said during this campaign that lobbyists represent "real people." Let me ask you something, "Do you feel that the drug and health insurance lobbyists represent you?" Of course they don't unless you're a drug company CEO or board member.

And this is the same John McCain who wants to stay in Iraq for decades if not 100 years despite over-whelming, consistent polls stating Americans are against this war in Iraq. The same John McCain who use to oppose the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy but now supports them. Is that helping the rural, blue collar voter? Is that not out of touch?

Then you have Hillary telling us all that she learned to shoot a gun when she was a kid and that somehow this means that she's a gun enthusiast? How many times has she fired off a gun since? Apparently she was asked that very question as to when was the last time you shot a gun to which she replied, that's "not relevant." I think Clinton has over-played her hand here. Here's a great reply from Obama regarding her sudden affection for guns:I learned how to shoot a gun when I was young but that doesn't make me a gun expert. You don't have to shoot guns or even know how to shoot them to respect them and honor America's gun culture. Obama may not be a gun enthusiast like Billy the Kid Clinton there but I doubt that Obama honestly thinks owning guns is somehow a bad thing. Obama could have chosen his words more carefully but I think his intentions were good. I think he was just trying to say that the average American feels abandoned by our government.

Look the reality here folks is that most politicians are a little out of touch, it's just their nature. So why don't we just get back to the issues instead of voting on who we'd rather have a beer with. We voted in the beer bash frat boy Bush into office and look how well his administration turned out. And if Obama is so out of touch with rural voters then why did he win Utah, Idaho and North Dakota? You mean to tell me that there aren't any gun owning, religious faithful out there who are also Democrats? Well then I have news for you, I live out in the western U.S. and know plenty of Democrats that fit this description.

And as for the anti-immigrant sentiment, you mean to tell me that there isn't a lot of tension and fear in America over immigration? Come on.
