The Obama campaign has a remarkable penchant for attacking its rivals in precisely the wrong areas. Whether it’s underdelivering on big promises<\/a>, adding to the public debt<\/a>, or dealing with unemployment<\/a> and job creation<\/a>, Obama and the DNC constantly seem to be going after the speck in their opponents’ eyes while ignoring the logs in their own.<\/p>\n

Now, the president who claimed just last week that the U.S. economy’s private sector is “doing just fine<\/a>” is trying to paint his opponent as being “out of touch” with the American people. Such a claim was bound to be noticed and forcefully responded to.<\/p>\n\n\n

Wait. @BarackObama<\/a> says private sector is "doing fine" and forgets that we're in a recession… but @MittRomney<\/a> is out of touch?<\/p>\n

It takes real chutzpah to say that the private sector is 'doing fine,' and then accuse someone else of being 'out of touch.' @BarackObama<\/a><\/p>\n

Right, and the private sector is #DoingFine<\/a>… RT @BarackObama<\/a>: Yes, Mitt Romney really is that out of touch: http:\/\/t.co\/jt1F4KAk<\/a><\/p>\n

@ObamaNews<\/a> Obama was the one thinking the private sector was ok. Not Romney. Nothing more out of touch than that.<\/p>\n

Well for once, I agree with Carville. Obama looks like an out of touch ignorant fool every time he discusses economy: http:\/\/t.co\/l1qjYdYv<\/a><\/p>\n

Folks were quick to note other ways in which the 100-rounds-of-golf president<\/a> is out of touch with the American people, including flying<\/a> his personal barber from Chicago to Washington, D.C., twice monthly for haircuts, hobnobbing<\/a> with celebrities at an endless parade of fundraisers<\/a>, and enjoying one luxury vacation<\/a> after another:<\/p>\n\n\n

@BarackObama<\/a> Mr. president, did you realize that on the golf course or at one of the many fundraisers you've attended? Who's out of touch?<\/p>\n

Dear @BarackObama<\/a> you are out of touch with reality. And you still haven't visited this one of the 57 states. #truth<\/a> #Arkansas<\/a><\/p>\n

Hi @TruthTeam2012<\/a>, what its like to have a boss who has an out of touch moment every single day?<\/p>\n

Once again, the Obama campaign is trying to go after its adversary in an area of its own weakness, and once again, it isn’t working.<\/p>
