Exactly, there’s no confusion that Obama’s detached from reality.

Via The Hill:

Senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod on Monday sought to downplay a recent comment from the president that the private sector was “doing fine,” saying voters knew Republicans were using the remark out-of-context.

“In the minds of most Americans there’s no confusion about this,” said Axelrod on “CBS This Morning.”

Axelrod said the controversy over the remark, which Obama quickly walked back on Friday would be forgotten before voters cast their ballots in November.

“This is the kind of thing we do in campaigns. Your community, my community we get all excited about it, the question is what it means. Is there transcendent meaning to it in November when people will be making judgments on it? No, they will be making judgments on what he president has done,” he added.

“The private sector is doing fine,” Obama said Friday to reporters. “Where we’re seeing weaknesses in our economy have to do with state and local government.”
