Ann Romney: I Don’t Even Consider Myself Wealthy

Posted by Brian and Ellen -19pc on March 07, 2012 · Flag

Neil Cavuto and Ann Romney – each of whom suffers from MS – held a poignant conversation on Your World on Monday (3/5/12) about what it’s like to suffer from the disease and how it changes your life. And we would never have criticized the discussion if it hadn’t been used as a blatant political ploy to make the Romneys look more like regular folks struggling like the rest of us. In fact, after Mrs. Romney shared how the illness has given her a “larger capacity” for “understanding and sympathy” for other people’s problems, Cavuto came right out and suggested the couple do more to show that humanistic side of the family. Even more astonishingly, she said she would “take that as good advice.” So it was with a big dash of skepticism that we received her comment, “I don’t even consider myself wealthy.”

Romney told Cavuto:

"We can be poor in spirit (laughing), and I don't even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing. It can be here today and gone tomorrow. And how I measure riches is by the friends I have and the loved ones I have and the people that I care about in my life, and that's where my values are and those are where my riches are."


The fact is that maybe Mrs. Romney doesn’t think of herself as wealthy but it’s an astonishing statement when your husband is worth nearly a quarter billion dollars. But her remark went right by Cavuto without comment.

Perhaps Ann is using the John McCain 2008 definition of wealth:

During a forum on faith Saturday night at Saddleback Church, McCain was asked, “Where do you move from middle class to rich?”

“If you’re just talking about income, how about five million?” McCain quipped.

“Mitt Romney looks like the photo that comes with the frame … He looks like a tennis pro at a restricted country club…. He looks like the guy who tells you how to buy real estate with no money down … He looks like the owner of the steakhouse who keeps interrupting dinner to find out how things are going … He looks like an American President in a Canadian movie … He looks like the guy on the ‘Just For Men’ bottle … Mitt looks like a guy who goes to the restroom when the check comes … He looks like a guy who would run a seminar on condo flipping … He looks like he is the closer at a Cadillac dealership…. He looks like that guy on the golf course in the Levitra commercial.” —David Letterman
