"Elizabeth Warren says Obama doesn't understand 'lived experience of most Americans.'"

172. So her referencing Obama was to do what exactly?

Let's stop playing cute with language. Elizabeth is a charismatic politician, an effective communicator. Politicians know what signals they're sending off when they say what they say with full intent, save the times they err (everyone makes mistakes)

If I wanted to say specifically that GDP measurements don't tell the whole story about an economy with regard to the experiences of every single American, I could do that without mentioning a single politician's name. In fact I could say exactly what she said while noting what has impeded progress for Americans over the last 8 years, such as the fact that Obama faced over 300 filibusters over bills aiming to increase min. wage, fix the ACA and invest in infrastructure.

Her comments feed the anti-establishment, out of touch narrative, that was so in vogue last year under a Democratic presidency.
