Gee, I didn't know Barak was a poor millionaire from the sticks, who had to struggle through Harvard Law School with day-old caviar and only TWO brands of pate. The horror.
The fact is, both candidates are fabulously wealthy, and are supported by other fabulously wealthy people. The Democrats are hoping you won't notice. As if there actually COULD be a "regular guy" candidate, someone who can't afford to take months off from his job to tour around the country and campaign, who has to argue with his wife about whether he gets to take the mini-van to the fundraiser or her to go grocery shopping, or who has to interrupt an important press conference to change his kid. The "regular guy" doesn't have a prayer of even getting to run for the Presidency, which is why the Presidents tend to be a string of rich guys. Barak would be a fool to play up the GOP "Rich Guy" ticket whenit can be so easily turned back on him.

Just for your totally uninformed readers there are 50 states and 7 inhabited territories.

I dont know why being rich is so bad. Someone had to work hard to make that money in the first place. Whether it was the candidate or his ancestors.
Its just the typical lib idea to create class tension. They'd rather steal from the rich and keep it in the government where no one can use it. My boss is a rich person. The guy who writes your checks is a rich person. The guy who owns your company is a rich person.
I dont want a welfare state.
Its Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Not Life LIberty and the Dept of Happy.
(Herman Cain says that all the time).

There is no class warfare between rich and poor. It's between educated and not. Curiously, Republicans set their ads up to try to always capture the votes of the "not". Sneaky bunch, they are.
