Obama - Romney Doesn't Think I'm Rich Enough To Be President

Obama: POTUS doesn't have to be rich, like Romney
Washington Examiner -- President Obama today suggested that Mitt Romney doesn't believe he is rich enough to be president, as he emphasized Romney's wealth at different times throughout the speech.

"[Romney ads will say] I didn't make a lot of money in the private sector and I don't understand it," Obama said in Ohio, or that "I'm in over my head . . . that's what the scary voice in the ads will say. That's what Mr. Romney will say."

Obama didn't let his blue-collar audience forget that Romney is wealthy. "I don't believe that giving someone like Mr. Romney another huge tax cut is worth ending the basic security we've always guaranteed [to the poor]," he said. The president argued that Romney's tax cuts for the wealthy will require spending cuts and tax increases on the middle class due to pressure to reduce the deficit.

Romney explained yesterday that Obama's millionaire tax increases will kill jobs for small businesses. "I don't want to raise the individual marginal tax rate from 35 to 40 percent; I know there are some who think that that's a great way to go after rich people," Romney said at the Business Roundtable yesterday. "Fifty-four percent of America's workers work in businesses taxed at the individual tax rate -- you raise that marginal tax rate from 35 to 40, and you kill jobs," he said.

Blog author's comments - Obama, a wealthy president who has never worked in the private sector complaining about a man who earned his wealth in the private sector and isn’t ashamed of having done so. From Obama we continually hear the same things - does he understand how tiresome he sounds playing his class warfare game?

“President Obama today suggested that Mitt Romney doesn’t believe he is rich enough to be president.” No, it’s not that Obama isn’t rich enough to be president, though he certainly is rich. It’s that he isn’t competent enough to be president. We have his record since he has been in office to prove it.

Mr. President, this has nothing to do with wealth. People are starting to be put off by rhetoric like this, especially when Obama spends a large amount of his time campaigning among “the rich.”

Democrat Elizabeth Warren And Class Warfare

Elizabeth Warren On Class Warfare
The Blaze - Former White House financial reform adviser Elizabeth Warren, who is now seeking to challenge Republican Senator Scott Brown in Massachusetts, is definitely not shy in voicing her views on class warfare — or, according to Warren, the lack thereof.

In a recent appearance captured on video, Warren, who is perhaps best known for helping to launch the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, stated boldly that there is no such thing as class warfare and that there is “nobody in this country who got rich on his own.” - Continue reading...



Blog author's comments - And the goal of the Democrats is that nobody ever becomes rich again. Elizabeth Warren embodies the liberal mindset of the Democratic Party.

Obama's proposal to have the wealthy pay even more taxes is not Class Warfare? This is a political warm-up for the 2012 election campaign. He is attempting to show his base that he represents Middle America. So now I must assume that the Democrats attempt at victory in the coming elections is the use of the Class Warfare game.

They will have the 'State Run Media' repeating it over and over and that will be the reason for the failed economy, unemployment being over 9%, the housing market tanking, no jobs being created and the growing deficit.

All of the above would have nothing to do with Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the Democratic Party could it? If we were all as intelligent as Obama and the rest of the liberals we would realize this.

From what I have noticed of Scott Brown since he was elected to a seat as a Republican Senator...she probably has a decent chance of defeating him.
