Obama: POTUS doesn’t have to be rich, like Romney

Published June 14, 2012 4:00am ET



President Obama today suggested that Mitt Romney doesn’t believe he is rich enough to be president, as he emphasized Romney’s wealth at different times throughout the speech.

“[Romney ads will say] I didn’t make a lot of money in the private sector and I don’t understand it,” Obama said in Ohio, or that “I’m in over my head  . . . that’s what the scary voice in the ads will say. That’s what Mr. Romney will say.”
