Obama says he can relate to Americans struggling to pay the bills (unemployed, interview)

[deb8997]

President Barack Obama said in an interview broadcast Friday he can relate to Americans striving in the struggling economy to pay bills while saving for their children's education and their own retirement.
he goes on to say that he teaches his girls that if they have a $100 in the bank and it gets ineretest at 2 or 3% this is how much money they're going to have at the end of it."

3% i want to bank where they are. he is a real joke.
while he takes 8 vacations so far the rest of us have to work our asses off just to live day to day.
He can relate to Americans struggling to pay the bills? Give me a freaking break! He gets a great salary and he and his family have a free mansion, free food and drink, free transportation and all the other perks. He travels around the world at will and apologizes for America while raising our national debt into the trillions. This man, who is 1/2 African American is definitely not qualitifed for the position of Preseidnet. Thank all of you for voting for him as this is a great example of Welfare!

Did he really say this?what the hell is he talking about?
How can he relate to blue-collar americans or someone unemployed?

I bet he's teaching his girls that $100 + 3% = $103, and ignoring inflation, taxes owed on the profit, + the devaluing dollar = less money.

btw, OP 3% isnt outrageous.. I receive an average of 8-10% return government guaranteed, but thats another topic. And please leave the fact that he's black out of the topic.. He's incompetent, but that has nothing to do with his race..

I dont think many in Dc let alone Obama has a clue what its like to be middle class right now.

While he tells Americans we are going to have to make sacrifices he seems to be living the high life.

Could it be that he's talking about his childhood? Nah, the OP obviously only recognized him as a fully grown man who somehow just popped out of no where into the Presidency w/out any other experiences or history.

And being black, half black or half white...has nothing to do with anything...other than your prejudices.

I'm not surprised because he thinks the average citizen is less than astute and if he says it they will buy it. He really thinks we are that stupid! LOL.

Sadly, Barack lacks emotional intelligence as well as common sense. He is so out of touch with our country it is unbelievable that greater than 50% of our country wanted him to represent us.

He can "relate"?

Insert wild laughter here.

He seems to be completely believing his own rethoric now days.
