Obama Badly Out Of Touch
Remember from the 2008 campaign, the commercial that Hillary ran about who was better equipped to answer that emergency “3:00AM call”? Well, at least in the scenario she painted the phone actually rang! Seems that our Commander-in-chief got his news the same way us working-class schlubs get it – on the TV. (and all this time we thought he was someone important, hmm…)

WASHINGTON – Caught up in stunning news like the rest of the world, President Barack Obama was in an Oval Office meeting Friday when he learned of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s resignation. He watched the celebration on television and prepared to make an afternoon statement.
“It is a historic day for the people of Egypt,” declared Vice President Joe Biden during an appearance in KentuckyThe development came just one day after Mubarak had declared that he was not resigning, despite all signs to the contrary, which enraged the protesting masses and had a dismayed White House scrambling to respond. Obama had issued a statement Thursday evening in Washington in which he challenged Mubarak, without directly naming him, to explain his actions and his plans for democracy.
