THE "HE'S NOT REGULAR FOLK" GOP MEME

Margaret Carlson of Bloomberg trots out the "Dems aren't regular people" meme to criticize Obama. As The Daily Howler documented, this was also done to Al Gore and to a lesser extent, John Kerry. To make this even seem to work, she mischaracterizes Obama's opinion of Wright and then falsely claims that Obama didn't foresee the possibilty of negative reactions by "regular folks" to some of Wright's comments.

To make this even sillier, she criticizes Obama for being such a lousy bowler that he failed to prove that he is "one of the people."

UPDATE: Bill Katovsky at HuffPo does the same as Carlson.
