Obama looks like a fish out of water there. He was raised as the "golden boy" and I bet he's never done manual labor in his entire life.
Lets just make it clear who the ‘haters’ are...
In an NBC interview, Washington Post reporter Eugene Robinson jumped on the Farrakhan bandwagon by saying that many black people in New Orleans held the same view. “I was stunned in New Orleans at how many black New Orleanians would tell me with real conviction that somehow the levee breaks had been engineered in order to save the French Quarter and the Garden District at the expense of the Lower Ninth Ward, which is almost all black, Robinson said. “These are not wild-eyed people. These are reasonable, sober people who really believe that.”
Eugene Robinson: Obama needs to fight, not switch
It’s ironic that President Obama could never be convincing as populist in chief. He had a modest upbringing, and he needed scholarships and loans to pay for his fancy education. He is no stranger to the struggles of everyday Americans.
By contrast, George W. Bush was raised amid great wealth, privilege and power. Yet Bush was able to project an Everyman folksiness that made people forget his heritage. Obama just doesn’t give off that guy-next-door vibe. Even if he were to roll up his sleeves, loosen his tie and start talkin’ like his predecessor, nobody would buy the act.
