No, Obama is not out of touch, he knows exactly how he wants to transform america. It is you who is out of touch because you don't understand that the same words can have several meanings.
Of course you can choose to interpret the most innocuous statement as shocking. That doesn't make it shocking.

What you call "running to his sheep" is what I call appealing to the American people -- something many presidents have done to move Congress.

Your post implies that you are alarmed by Obama's words.

Of course he is going out to campaign again.

It is the one thing he does well.

No truth required, no facts required. Just find someone to blame and try to scare people with more false predictions of dire consequences.

It is actually all he is capable of.

he is obviously not good at being a commander in chief but the campaigner in chief. Get ready for the side show scare mongering. The world is coming to an end again. It's like a bad show where you can tell what the show is all about.
