Could Obama Be More Out Of Touch With America?

By Semperpapa

President Obama just returned from his Hawaii vacation where he spent approximately $1 million to relax after the pressure of the lame duck session of Congress.

He has not been back into the White House that long and has to face the bailing of his Press Secretary, Robert “Family Guy” Gibbs handing in his resignation.
Sure that the highly dedicated Gibbs will not be going anywhere far from his mentor and Supreme Being Obama, but the President mentioned, in his farewell remarks to Gibbs, that he was grateful for the work Gibbs had done considering his “relatively modest pay.”

Ok, Robert Gibbs salary amounts to $172,200 annually, in the opinion of this common American not a modest salary in the least.
Of course for Obama, used to million dollars income, $172,200 must look like chump change, but for the rest of us, average Americans with average salaries of $55,000, Gibbs salary is everything but modest.

My issue is not about the compensation Gibbs received, but with the lack of touch of this President from the people who is allegedly supposed to be serving.
I wonder how “modest” that amount is for the millions of Americans on unemployment insurance, regardless of what the Pelosi woman may say.
And I wonder how that salary compares with the salary of some of the Blacks who still to this day maintain that Obama is “their President.”

But, on the other hand, I would not expect anything less from Obama, who is definitely incapable to understand the reality of earning a living.
Nor is his wife, whose unnecessary job at some Chicago hospital saw a doubling of her salary to over $300,000 the moment that her husband was elected as a US Senator in Illinois.
Her job was so worth the salary that once she left it on the road to the White House, the hospital never replaced her.

On further thought, it has already been demonstrated by the Obamas that they not only do not have a clue about the realities of the dichotomy of "work" and "retribution" (outside of taking ever increasing taxes away) as experienced by the American people, but they are also absolutely careless about the image that they portray in their actions, being the golf outing every week or the lavish Spanish summer vacation. They just do not care.
And they do not care because they are supported by an entitlement crazed section of the population that is oblivious of the true significance of their action as long as they can get some government subsidy.

What is left is a nation lead by an individual in the White House who has no regard for the significance of his position.

Just my thoughts!
