Michele Bachmann says Obama too rich to understand the common man August 28, 2012 3:52 pm BuckGalaxy

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??
