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


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?”


“And I think what people care about is not hating someone for what their assets are — the American people don’t hate President Obama because he’s a very wealthy individual,” she added.



OMG, the stupid so thick it BURNS!!!!!

not that they were ever truthtellers

in a month we will think all this is tame. I can smell a 'ratchet it up' skunk in the air - esp. after that CNN cameraperson was treated like that. That was orchestrated as some sort of starter pistol for the beyond help bigots/liars to foam things up.

The bland, boring billionaire who made his fortune firing hundreds of thousands of workers and bankrupting companies is the guy who can relate to the common man? Quit bogarting that bong, Michelle...
