That's not a joke at all. I don't believe anyone actually cares that Romney is rich. But goodness knows I am also very interested in how an average person can get around the $6,000 annual contribution cap. What's wrong with someone explaining how he was able to do that and why that method isn't advertised to the financial advisors used by the middle class in this country?

I think the Obama grade thing is actually a really good point. Why DIDN'T he release his grades? It doesn't particularly bother me, though, for a couple of reasons. Obama's grades at the first college he went to were good enough to get him into Columbia, so they couldn't have possibly been that bad. His grades at Columbia got him into Harvard Law, so they also couldn't have been terribly bad. His law school grades didn't preclude him getting president of the law review, or getting law firm jobs, or becoming a constitutional law professor. All of these things require excellent grades. Maybe he got a C in tax or something. Who knows. I would like him to release his grades and end the speculation.

Now... how do you get $100 million in an IRA? Does anyone know how this could happen?

Again, we are going off a rumor. The OPs link provides nothing.

Let me phase it like this:

Hello everyone, this is chucksnee's world of news.

Tonight we find out the Zimar has 100 million in an IRA. (period, end of story, no rebuttal, no, evidence, but we reported (said) something.

a rumor? This has been reported by the Washington post, vanity fair, the new York times, the Christian science monitor, and more.

Investigation: Mitt Romney

Biggest factor in building the balance so high: fabulous investments.

Personally, I'm more concerned that President Obama could flush half a BILLION dollars of OUR money down the toilet on crony campaign contributor company Solyndra (and brag about it) than with the fact that Bain employees including Romney were able to make wonderful investments with THEIR OWN money inside their IRA accounts.

I think it's the "2nd derivative of the birther group" that wants the grades or maybe 3rd. 2nd could be the "pals around with Saul Alinsky group"
