Why Obama "Can't Relate" - New England Patriots Forums

Or - the gospel according to Bachmann:

Quote:

"President Obama is extremely wealthy," Bachmann said when USA Today asked how someone with "vast wealth" could connect to the American public. "He and his wife have been wealthy for a number of years, and so I think that's really the issue. President Obama is wealthy -- what does he understand about the common man right now?"

So what, Michele? Mitt Romney, with a net worth of $255 million, is going to relate better than Obama with assets worth between $2.6 million and $8.3 million?

They're both 1%. Bachmann is a 1% too.

Irregardless, it's good to have money. Success should be rewarded.

I think there should be fewer politicians in general but for the ones that you do have -- do you want the kids from Jersey Shore, a lifelong professor from a state college or a successful local business person?

Whichever one possesses common sense is fine with me.

Fine - go look it up and get back to us.

Doesn't matter, does it? Neither figure even comes close to Romney-wealth.

sure as hell does matter.....its a 300% difference, the margin of error is double the low end figure.......you know what that makes it? pure BS

BTW, Obama's net worth is now 11.8M

I have one question......given Obama's life in public office, how did he get rich given he supposedly did not have a pot to pi$$ in in college?

If you're truly interested, go check out his tax returns.....unlike Romney, Obama's are available.
