When John Kerry calls you out of touch, you must be so far out of touch that you need to call Mazlan Othman, the United Nations' designated liaison to space aliens, to re-establish contact with Planet Earth.
The Massachusetts senator is one of the world's experts in out of touch. What Tony Dungy is to leadership, Suze Orman is to thrift and Joel Osteen is to televised piety, John Kerry is to not getting it. He would never stoop to mere obliviousness -- not when he can don his wetsuit and windsurf contemptuous circles around the little people in a bravo act of haut out of touch.
So it was a signal moment when Kerry took it upon himself to explain the outlandish folkways of the American people: "We have an electorate that doesn't always pay that much attention to what's going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or truth or what's happening."
Take that, Velma Hart.
Those who saw Hart, a middle-class, African-American mother of two, confront President Obama at a CNBC town-hall meeting last week thought they had heard a genuine voice of dismay at the state of the economy and Obama's failure to deliver on his golden promises.
If we take Hart as representative of the public mood, though, Kerry must have instead discerned a clueless complainer. If only Hart were sufficiently plugged in, she'd have the sense to get over her economic anxiety. So what if she fears returning to frank-and-beans dinners? Does John Kerry carp when he's forced to move his $7 million yacht from Rhode Island to Massachusetts, where he has to shoulder an added $500,000 tax bill?

He was in Vietnam you know.
“Can I get me a hunting license here?”
You mean, something like, "hope and change," Lurch?
Just remember he was for it before he was against it.
If only Kerry were up for reelection this year! He called the voters ‘stupid’ and Clinton tried to cover his backside by saying Kerry had ‘misspoken’. Unfortunately the ‘stupid’ voters of MA. are stuck with Kerry until 2014.
He’s just ticked it isn’t THEIR simple slogans.
You notice how the slogans of the left, “hope and change”, “Yes we can” are all monosyllabic?
Just sayin.
Actually, I think the people of MA will be “happy” to have Kerry represent them for as long as he cares to continue in office.
Or “Hope and Change.” Or “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”
The Obama campaign was nothing but a collection of mindless slogans.
John Kerry..... think-skinned arrogant self-appointed blue-blood with an overweaning sense of entitlement.....
I do sympathize with her frustration in defending the Obama regime though. It must be tough to defend Obama to people who are actually suffering.
Yeah we are so out of touch we know MORE about o’nazicare than they do:
