Howard Dean: I can’t shake the feeling that Obama’s advisors are out of touch with the country
Hot Air ^ | August 22, 2010 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Skip ahead to 5:00 for the key bit, which has me at a loss. On the one hand, this is the second time in four days that Dean-o is wildly off-message from the White House, which of course is why both CNN and The Hill are trumpeting his remarks here. Intriguing stuff, to be sure. On the other hand, the thrust of what he’s saying is that the White House is out of touch with … progressives. Note to Dean: It ain’t disaffected lefties who are preparing to destroy the Democrats in November. Or am I not giving him enough credit, and this is actually his way of acknowledging, however glancingly, that the White House is out of touch with center-right concerns too? Remember, this is the guy who’s been warning liberals that the 65 percent of Americans who oppose the Ground Zero mosque can’t all be bigots.

Beyond all that, he’s letting Obama off the hook. Apart from Gibbs’s shot at the “professional left” — which not only went unchallenged by The One but which Gibbs was free to double down on the next day — what evidence is there that O’s advisors have Beltway myopia but he doesn’t? Here’s a choice bit from Politico on how his decision to publicly support the Ground Zero mosque was made. I don’t see anything about Axelrod having to twist his arm:

You kinda loose perspective when everyday you can fly anywhere on Air Force One to play golf and have a printing press printing money in the basement…

It’s not just his aides that are “out of touch”.

I can’t shake the feeling that Chairman Hao doesn’t like Barack 0bama.

Dean was openly leftist and the even the ‘Rats rejected him as a candidate.

Hussein hid his far left identity and managed to sneak into the White House.

Dean is jealous.

I haven’t heard from this spotlight chasing nut in awhile. I’m guessing that Barry did not give him a job in his coterie of cronies. Dr. Dean will continue to complain until he receives his Dem party payoff in the form of either cash or political appointment.

It’s not just them, Howie

It’s you and your ilk. The same idiots who somehow thought you were qualified to be President.

It's not about what the American people want, Howie.

It's about dismantling the country as a stepping-stone to the Presidency of the new world government that will be created in the vacuum.

Obama’s advisors are out of touch with the country

"Out of touch" the new PC lingo for marxist muzzy in chief.

How prophetic the late Great Roy Orbison:

Just runnin’ scared each place we go
So afraid that he might show
Yeah, runnin’ scared, what would I do
If he came back and wanted you

Just runnin’ scared, feelin’ low
Runnin’ scared, you love him so
Just runnin’ scared, afraid to lose
If he came back which one would you choose

Then all at once he was standing there
So sure of himself, his head in the air
My heart was breaking, which one would it be
He turned around and walked away with me.
