I don't remember the fact they were wealthy detracted from them running or being elected.

Just another example by the left to try and divide, playing on jealousey and entitlement thinking.
Nobody is asserting that wealth alone would invalidate a candidacy.

It's a targeted attack because Romney's own personality portrays him as an elite and out of touch. It's an attack that wouldn't work say against a Mike Bloomberg because he comes across as more grounded with real world issues.

If anything it's a much less nasty version of the effort to portray Obama as a Kenyan and out of touch with American values.

It's a targeted attack against Romney,who I agree is not the most amiable guy,
but one of the few attacks they can make because they don't have a record to run on. Meantime a lot of Obama's personal history, including his Havad records are still under wrap.
Here's the way Obama's campaighn is shaping up, instead of policy, issues and record, blame Bush for the deep recession and knock Romney all the way back to his teen years.

such a crazy notion

1991-2007

Doug Ross of Director Blue used the wayback feature to investigate Obama's literary agency's website and it shows that there were a number of revisions to the literary agent-distributed Obama biography that said he was born in Kenya; these revisions reflected changes in Obama's life. But it wasn't until 2007 when he threw his hat in the ring for the presidency that the bio was changed to state he was born in Hawaii.

The Director Blue link shows that Obama or his literary agent did not change his biography (April 2007) until a couple of months after announcing he was running for president (February 2007).

probably just an "oversight"...for 16 years...I mean...who checks their own bio for accuracy anyways?

LOL, maybe he was just suffering from amnesia and his memory came back
to correct the record.
