The CEO of the institution I work for probably doesn’t “understand” me in the context that it is being used here. That doesn’t mean in any way that one of my beer buddies is better capable of his job.

The Obama campaign has been running a radio ad in Iowa OVER & OVER again featuring a young mother complaining how Mitt doesn't understand her daily struggles to care for an autistic child, pay the bills, etc. etc. I cringe when I hear it. It is the most condescending, blatantly pandering, 'speaking-down-to' ad I have ever heard. I am offended by it, and I can't believe other well-educated, competent young women aren't, as well. It is written as though it is addressing an audience that is mildly mentally retarded.
