Turns out, Ann Romney is just as awkward as Mitt Romney when it comes to talking about wealth. Notice the forced laugh after she says she and her quarter-billionaire husband “can be poor in spirit.” She clearly knows she fucked up, and so what does she do? She steals a page from her husband’s playbook and digs herself an even deeper hole, saying: “I don’t even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing, I—I—I—it can be here today and gone tomorrow.” You’re going to keep seeing this clip between now and November, I promise:
Wife of Quarter-Billionaire: “We can be poor in spirit…I don’t even consider myself wealthy”

Well $250 million only buys about half as much gasoline as it did when Bush left the White House. I feel poor every time I fill up.
A deep worldwide recession will do that to gas prices. So yeah, bring back Dubya I guess.
I sure hope I’m that poor when I grow up.
She is poor because of the tithe of her church. Have a heart for this woman.
It’s easy to resent the Romneys for their wealth, but keep in mind: in 2010 they donated $100,000 to the George W. Bush Presidential Library. How much did YOU donate to the Bush Library?
that should buy hella lot of copies of “The Pet Goat’!
She gives poor answers, so maybe she’s on to something.
