Ah, the old swift boating tactic. Next he'll accuse Obama of having the wrong religion for the American people. Oh wait! He already did that!

I'm still amazed that someone can buy a lottery ticket for $1 and become as rich as Mitt Romney in one day.

That says something.

Something we don't want to acknowledge.

This is standard Republican protocol: accuse your opponent of doing what you do and being what you are. It ALWAYS works for them, too.

@ 3

We acknowledge it but also acknowledge that the odds of that happening are low.

10 years ago, Barack Obama still walked around Hyde Park and got his hair cut in a local barbershop.

10 years ago, Mitt Romney had been a CEO for more than 10 years.

If I were Obama, I'd just let statements like these be chum for late night talk show hosts. No reason to stir up the nation's idiots with scary reminders of your past in activism.

It's a sad, sad commentary that playground strategies from second grade are still in vogue. "No, it wasn't me. Barry did it!" Not only that, but that there are enough credulous fools in the media to print that without pointing out the absurdity of it.

Well...that was the more trivial aspect of it all.

The point being that we live in an economy where someone can "earn" $100 million at the drop of a hat.

And while the odds of it happening to someone, on demand, are low, that it can happen at all (without cataclysmic disruption to the economy in general or to others) seems extraordinary.

@9:

This is PRECISELY why so many poor and lower middle-class people continue to vote Republican - because, when THEY win teh MegaMillions someday, they don't want no gubbamint rebbanooer comin' 'long and takin' away theyar hard-won winnin's.

@6 More than that - forty-five years ago, Obama was the middle-class child of a single mom, and Romney was already rich, because his daddy was.

Swiftboating worked once; it will work again because people are even more stupid now.

Please wait...
