I agree with Romney.. You must take the whole country into consideration.. If you live in the Northeast, or in California, you are by no means rich making 250,000 a year... In New York, many pay taxes, between the feds and state etc at around 50%... The cost of living and taxes are much higher than in other parts of the country... 100,000 in places like Long Island is struggling for a lot of people so what's 250,000 to someone in say Kentucky is not 250,000 to someone living in NY.. so, yes, for the sake of fairness throughout the country I think that it's a pretty fair statement to say middle class is up to 250,000..

and a president who leaves town the day after a terrorist attack is ok with you, for a fund raiser no less. and also does not bother to attend the security briefing.
as to the 200,000, which is not a lot money if you want a nice, money for colelge for your kids, you also may be supprting elderly parents, and in this economy you probably have your college gradulated children sill living with you as they cannot find a job. you have a lot of 2 income couples which could easily make that amount, but would hardly consider themselves rich.

How about O'Bama saying there is 57 states? You people that like O'bama are fools. Where are O'bama's college transcripts, law school transcripts, etc. Nobody knows anything about him. BTW, did you know both O'Bama and his wife both had their law licenses revoked? His wife for fraud and her fraudulent husband for refusing to sign a document indicating whether he had any alias. Do your research before you start degrading Romney. At least his life is public record.

Meanwhile...Obama basically threw the 1st Amendment under the bus because his own Middle East policies are FAILING.

It's really something when a liberal media outlet carries a story that illustrates Obama’s disdain for the 1st Amendment...and how he was forced by Romney to cave and reluctantly support the 1st Amendment
