>> I think this VDH post does the best job of summarizing everything that’s wrong with Barack Obama’s latest gaffe: saying these kind of things to the San Francisco Democrats is just part of the same thread that started when he complained about the cost of arugula at Whole Foods in Iowa, a state that has no Whole Foods stores – and when Mrs. Obama got in touch with the middle class by complaining how it cost $10,000 for dance and music lessons these days (that’s an Eliot Spitzer inflation rate, for crying out loud).  How are they going to use the old “Out of Touch” attack on John McCain when Obama is imitating John F. Kerry?
