Presidential Candidates out of touch with the common man? Shocking(not)

Is anybody really surprised by the fact that a couple of rich guys running for national office are more than a little out of touch with the financial realities of American families? Is everyone in the U.S. electorate cursed with a short memory? Wasn't it George the Elder that had never seen a grocery store scanner before? And wasn't it George the Lesser that had no idea how much a gallon of milk cost during a town hall Q&A session? When was the last time these guys had to scrape up enough money to feed their family for a week? Or decide on buying gas for the car or prescriptions?

Now I could really care less how many houses somebody owns whether its 7, 8 or 9. And furthermore would we really want somebody couldn't afford one house running the country? But on the other hand it would be nice if we figure out someway as a prerequisites to run for office that they are required to work at Walmart for a year or two, with no health insurance or the any other of the bazillion perks they are entitled to as U.S. Senators. Let's just see how well they do.
