Michele Bachmann says Obama too rich to understand the common man
This has got to be one of the stupidest things she's said in the last couple days. The highest estimate of Obama's wealth I've heard is around $10m, most of which he has made over the last 7 years or so with book sales. By comparison Mitt Romney has an estimated $250m, and I've heard as much as $400m. His sons are also worth about $100m. Further, Romney has been raised with a silver spoon in his hand, while Obama was born in a lower income family. Who has gone farther in life? Who understands what the common man lives like better? I have to ask: is Bachmann deliberately trying to screw over Romney's chances with this idiotic comment, or is she really that stupid??
