see this as an appeal to blue collar workers that think white collar jobs are not the same thing as tough man's work. There is also the subtle hint Obama got affirmative action helping him out the whole time thus didn't earn his work. This is just an attempt at divide and conquer class warfare which their party is known for.

Obama is not in touch with you the sheet metal worker because he never had a "real" job. That kind of talk works on some people. It is in the same vain as Bush was the type of guy you'd have a beer with. Etc...
