Obama's "Bush(41) at the cash register" moment.

Obama still remembers pumping gas:

As President Obama sets about his re-election campaign, he is telling audiences that he has not forgotten what real life is like during his two years and three months in the White House.


"I try to remind people when they say, 'well, you're president now, you're out of touch,' " Obama told a New York City event last night. "I said, 'listen, it was only a few years ago I was still paying off my student loans.' "

Speaking at the National Action Network Annual Gala, hosted by Al Sharpton, Obama added: "I don't pump gas now, but I remember what it was like pumping gas .... I remember the end of the month (paying bills). ... I remember that."

Because our politicians are better than the rest of us because they are our politicians.
