[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6:36 here.  Obama has to win moderates and independents in order to be re-elected.  Attacking Romney for his wealth will turn off a lot of those people.  And for 8:25, it's worth remembering that Romney actually earned his money.  As a Democrat, I looked at Kerry in 2004 and thought, is this really the best we can do for a nominee?[/quote]

It's hard to argue that the son of George Romney, former Chairman of an auto manufacturer and a governor, is a self-made man.[/quote]

Do a little research.  You seem to be assuming that he inherited all of his wealth.  (Our nominee in 2004, married most of his.  Did that bother you at the time?)  From Politifact.com:

Do you realize that George Romney was rather self made and didn't graduate from college?

Yes, Mitt was raised in privilege (though USA Today has written admiringly of his lack of "affluenza").  But it's simply not true that he inherited all this money.  Obama needs to drop the class warfare stuff and start extolling his own very significant accomplishments.  People who subscribe to class warfare are already going to vote for him, but he's turning off some folks who trend moderate and/or independent.  Why do you think Bill Clinton is trying to get Obama to lay off this tack?
