Michelle Obama is Out of Touch

Democrats are quick to dismiss the criticism that they are a party of elitists. They try really hard with stunts like Obama going to the bowling alley and rumors that Team Obama will sponsor a car in NASCAR.
But they just can’t seem to get away from their true selves.
Earlier this week, Obama explained how he is embarrassed that “we go over to Europe and all we can say is merci beaucoup.”
Yeah, that’s a typical vacation for the American family… the jaunt to Paris.
On July 9, 2008 in Pontiac, MI, Michelle Obama shared a “joke” with the audience:
“You’re getting $600 - what can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month.”
“The short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good that first month when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings.”
What can you do with $600? Really?
According to the USDA, the typical U.S. household spent $41.67 per person each week for food.
So, that silly little $600 could cover a month of food for many families of four, Michelle.
The Obama campaign insists her comment was a joke.
For some reason, I don’t think people that are struggling to meet their bills are in on that joke.
