#Obama ‘s Money / Wealth is “Earned” #Romney ‘s is Scary? — Hypocrisy From ’07

This illuminating piece that defends Obama’s wealth back in 2007 might as well be applied to all rich candidates. Why is it that we look down on Romney for being wealthy? Why do we suspect his wealth is unearned? Does Obama “deserve” his wealth…but not Romney?

Is Republican money suspicious while Democrat money is “earned?” How does that work? Perhaps Romney earned his money too, if so, then isn’t his wealth a mark in his favor?

Barack Obama’s Wealth is a Problem?

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Barack Obama has two best-selling books, a nice salary as a senator and a wife with a handsome income. Earlier this year he reported assets of up to $1.14 million in addition to his Chicago home. That’s small change to some of his presidential rivals, but more than enough to create entanglements and controversies for Obama, a Democrat who has been positioning himself as a friend of the little guy on financial matters.

Are we voting based on politicians personal wealth? Why don’t we look at how the candidates made their millions instead of what their net worth is? Better yet, let’s look at what is coming out of their campaigns for ideas to make a better America. It just ticks me off when the MSM looks at an African American candidates wealth and then blurbs the means of other mega rich candidates as if their money is superior. My personal advice to Barack Obama is to answer all questions regarding his families wealth is this. “We earned it! Next question?”.

Why does the main stream media have a problem with an African American politician having wealth? Barack Obama and his wife have worked their asses off and in return they benefited from it monetarily. He and his wife are very highly educated people and with that knowledge behind them they both have outstanding careers and paychecks. With that paycheck they bought a home that suited their means. What is the problem with that? Read more at www.zimbio.com
