Kind of funny, though I don't think they meant to say that.
In other words, we are too stupid to understand the ‘brilliant intellectuals’ trying to make our lives better. /s

Former aide urges Obama to regain ‘political narrative’
Barack Obama, US president, has lost control of the political narrative and needs to make more use of his cabinet in order to regain it, says John Podesta, the man who headed the president’s transition team.
“My friends in the White House would agree with this, that they lost the narrative,” Mr Podesta said in an interview for View from DC, the Financial Times’ video series from Washington. “Clearly that needs not one speech once in a while: it needs, I think, to be constantly reinforced. And not just by the president, but by his entire team, He’s got a terrific cabinet. Use it. Get out into the country and use it.”
