Mitt or Barack? Mitt says Obama is because he is in the WhiteHouse. Obama says Mitt is because he's wealthy.

The 2012 Presidential Election: Is Obama or Romney the one who is out of touch? - Slate Magazine

The Bubble Wars

One way to think about the 2012 presidential campaign is as a battle between two houses: Barack Obama's White House and Mitt Romney's San Diego house.

Who cares. They are both sock puppets that do as they are told. Interestingly, their donors are very similar

I really have to agree with you. Also, I don't think there's a big difference between Obama and Romney.

Mitt is more out of touch. He has $250+ million in the bank and has been around nothing but wealthy individuals/families and Wall Street types his entire life.

There isn't one single difference. The same Fortune 100 corporations donate to their campaigns and the same lobbyists visit them. Also, their Cabinet positions are always filled with big bank executives like Goldman Sachs

And Obama, who hosts $40k a plate dinners, regularly meets with industry lobbyists who are rich and powerful does? Get a clue, Obama is surrounded by Wall St. just as much as Mitt is

The Bubble Wars

One way to think about the 2012 presidential campaign is as a battle between two houses: Barack Obama's White House and Mitt Romney's San Diego house.

Let's see a guy that makes about 20 million dollars a year MOSTLY FROM CAPITAL GAINS. Has Swiss bank accounts and money in blind trusts. Then sits down with a group of unemployed people and says "Yea I know what is like to be unemployed" and LAUGHS ABOUT IT.

Who's dad was the CEO of an auto company and the governor of a state, and who attended the best prep schools in his area. A person who has never known what it is like to worry about paying a utility bill, car payment or buying groceries for his family.

Who' along with his wife has three houses she can CHOOSE to live in whenever she wants, and who laments having maids, cooks and other household staff has caused her to "struggle raising five kids without ever having to work outside her home a day in her life.

Who goes on a national cable show ands says "I don't care about poor people the social safety net is fine for them."

Who during a campaign rally says "Corporations ARE PEOPLE TOO!" and actually gets upset at somebody for disagreeing with him.

Who tells people "I don't really follow NASCAR but I'm friends with some of the owners".

Sorry but Mitt is one out of touch individual
