What’s Gulfport Saying About Obama?

Earlier this week, we asked Patch readers.

Here’s what a reader of Gulfport Patch had to say:

I understand the campaign tactic that if you accuse your opponent first or loudest or most often of what could be said about you, you are safe from that potential attack being used against you. Unfortunately, whatever attractions Mr. Romney has for his GOP voters, being in touch with ordinary Americans is not high on their list. And most Independent voters think Mr. Romney is out of touch, certainly more out of touch than President Obama is; however, some may not view that as negative. People who support Mr. Romney are typically 1% wanna-be's so being in touch and understanding what the rest of us experience isn't a big deal to them. Mr. Obama has personal experience as a ordinary American; his wealth from writing his books is recent. President Obama is also a stickler for good manners and treating all people with respect. I think President Obama tries very hard to stay in touch with what ordinary people are doing and thinking. I don't think Mr. Romney cares very much or knows very much about the life of ordinary Americans so he doesn't even try.
