Is Obama a Celebrity that is out of touch with the American people?

I would appreciate any views on this subject. Obama made a speech recently stating that he understands our plight. He referred to the time a few years back when he struggled with his young family. As a man who has never held a real job, and has had assets in excess of $5 million, I am wondering how he can really relate to the average citizen.

Obama has apparently been sheltered his entire life. Too many details have really been obscured. I wonder how he traveled so extensively from the time of his youth, through college and his days of community organizing. Just who did foot the bill? Was it his grandparents or did he have a very wealthy mentor?
The average American has not had the opportunities afforded Obama, so how can he truly relate to the everyday obstacles we are confronted with?

Most of us struggled to get jobs, and pay our own way through college, even taking semesters or years off to be able to afford our education. I do not begrudge anyone who has had to work hard to earn what they have, and Americans are proud of their sacrifices to get ahead. As a people we have become stronger through sacrifice.

Since Obama has never had to sacrifice, I doubt that he has the strength or the fortitude to succeed as most Americans.

So exactly how is he in-touch with America?

Again the Taxpayers will be footing the bill for the Unemployment Benefit extension

The bill has been authorized to resume jobless benefits for our nations long-term unemployed.

I do not begrudge this good news to those affected by this bill, but there will be a price to pay down the line.

The worst part of this extension is that it is not being paid for by funds such as the unused stimulus.

It will be funded by more deficit spending that will add millions, if not more, to our national debt.

The Senate Republicans tried to get the Democrats in the Senate to act fiscally responsible, but it all fell on deaf ears.

So, it looks like we will again be lambasted by the Obama administration, and big government will hand out more cash to people in their weak attempt to prop up the economy. This will naturally hurt the generations to come through increased taxes to pay off the debt of this presidency.

I do support the extension of these benefits, but do not understand why the Democrats felt they had to put us yet deeper into a debt with a budget now exceeding $4 trillion dollars.

All this spend, spend, spend by Obama and the Democratic Congress will, without a doubt bring us into a longer recession and necessarily hurt businesses, both big and small.

The government does not create jobs, and spending on this bill, and other wasteful pork will not put Americans back to work!

Will we have change in November from some new faces in the Senate and Congress who will be accountable in addressing the economy?
