the president, by the very nature of his position, is anything but "common". that's why we elected him.
we can get the "common touch" from earl at the butcher shop.
i've worked for people who are like those described in that snippet above, they lack a lot more than the common touch

<quoted text>Funny how during the campaign he WAS the "common man",ran on it,capitolized on it. Made a big deal about it. Now he has "Town Hall meetings" staged with picked audiences just like the very man he derided for it. But hey,not to worry. His policies and broken promises will,within a year,have people questioning each other who voted for HIM? And those that DID will just shrug their shoulders and say,"I dunno.",kick gravel and look into space...... Yes Dear one short year from now you will be sending your paycheck to Washington and he will say,as he gives you back what HE thinks you need,here's your CHANGE.....

as if everything bad that has happened, happend within the past five months and ten days?
still don't know how he's not "common" by vacationing at martha's vineyard. wouldn't be my cup of tea, but i know some who do spend their summers up there. my old boss is one of them, and another twit who used to work at that company was quoted in the article. they're about a "common" as anyone else who has achieved their level of professional success.

Everything bad that has happened-has been 30 odd years in the making,maybe longer. And I really could care less where the Dude takes a vacation. I just find it ironic as he77 for someone who ran a campaign as well as his on being Mr. Regular Joe would become Mr. Instant Elite. Unless the basis was already there,thus proving what was batted around in SOME circles.
