Boehner: Not As Rich As Romney? You’re A “Loser”

House Speaker John Boehner, defending the wealth of multimillionaire presidential candidate Mitt Romney, told CNN on Sunday that “the American people don’t want to vote for a loser.”

Boehner’s comments would seem to indicate that not having the enormous wealth of Romney, rumored to be worth $250 million, would classify most Americans as “a loser.”

Romney’s habit of making out of touch comments about his wealth has plagued his campaign. He bragged that he likes being able to fire people who provide services to him.

Romney also told CNN that “I’m not very concerned about the very poor.” And at the Iowa State Fair, Romney told an attendee that “corporations are people.”
