Newt: "I'm not rich"

[Genx87]

This is a really stupid thread. Newt says he isnt rich when it is apparent he was taking a jab at Romneys wealth, which Newt clearly isnt in that realm. Then the dailypos actually linked to a real estate website for the area that doesnt have a property under 2.5 million.

Talk about a non-story.

I largely agree, but there is something to be said for Newt's lack of realism or lack of honesty. Someone worth $6.7 million can only say he is not rich if he is spending more time looking at the ultra wealthy than at himself.

I want my President to be one of the 1%, but I also want him to be honest enough to admit it even when it might not be politically advantageous.

And LOL at "dailypos", that's gold. It's funny 'cause it's true.

Newt definitely looks like he enjoys some creamed spinach and ribeyes :biggrin:

LMAO affirmative! I like to bribe the cook who "creams" his Spinach.
