Obama is not in touch with the general public. The first thing seen in this in this cartoon is Obama with a bitter face saying “I am sorry if my comments about bitterness in Middle America came across as elitist...” Obama’s face implies that he is angry, and his comments about Middle America imply that he look down on Mexicans. The punch line in this cartoon is when Obama says “I didn’t know the commoners were so sensitive.” This smart remark shown that he thinks of Mexicans as commoners, and that he doesn’t at all like them. Obama thinks of himself as more elite that others and shows that he is too out of touch with the “commoners.”
