Bachmann: Vote for Romney because Obama is ‘extremely wealthy’

[Canuckistanian]

Former Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann is encouraging voters to support Mitt Romney because President Barack Obama is “extremely wealthy” and can’t relate to the “common man.”

USA Today caught up with Bachmann at the Republican National Convention earlier this week and asked her how someone with “vast wealth” like Romney could “connect with the American public, really understand what the plight of the American public?”

“Well, President Obama is extremely wealthy,” Bachmann replied. “He and his wife have been wealthy for a number of years, and so I think that’s really the issue. Obama is wealthy, what do, or — what does he understand about the common man right now?”

Romney, however, had net worth as much 136 times greater than the current president. The Republican candidate has personally estimated his wealth to be between $190 and $250 million. But former Massachusetts State Democrat Party chairman Phil Johnston believes that the number is closer to $500 million and Romney’s close friend, Hugh Hewitt, has speculated that the former Bain Capital CEO could be worth $1 billion.

5. Well we know Michelle is in denial...she has been for years....

Look, I applaud she and her husband's love and support for all those children. I do hope they haven't subjected them to the extreme Christian upbringing advocated by some and that they haven't been brain washed into thinking that White is Black.

That said...Michelle has apparently believed for years her husband was sexually attracted to her. My gaydar went off the first time I saw him. He is either completely gay or plays on both teams, so to speak.

So for her to say the Obama is out of touch? She is truly delusional and is probably in need of incarceration at a mental hospital in the vicinity!!

9. Romney's wealth is more than DOUBLE the peak wealth of the past EIGHT PRESIDENTS.

That's what the Associate Press estimates.

So she should really ....stop lying.

Like most Republicans.

12. I noticed that she did not speak at the convention.

Is this an admission that Rocket J. Squirrel is insane and thus an embarrassment to the so-called "party of common sense"?
