I'm Beginning To Believe That Rmoney Is Worth More Money Than They've Estimated.....

I've heard estimates in the press/MSM that Rmoney is worth $250 million. Given all he's been said to be involved with while at Bain - I'm thinking that he's worth at least 2 to 3 times that amount if not more.

So then I ponder - why would a person having so much money want to be president? Why wouldn't a person just want to kick back and enjoy life and be comfortable? Why would a person want to take on the responsibility of the presidency? It just doesn't make sense to me.

He doesn't seem to have any interest in governing, just winning the election. You think bush took a lot of vacations? This guy would make bush look like a workaholic.

Billions. He likes to keep it "low" so he can make his people feel closer to him, and he can lie about his donations to his cult. (IMO ALL religions are cults)

Seems like a giant pain in the ass to me...and for the rest of your life you can never just be a normal person.

If he was on the up and up, he'd release his tax returns. Miss Botox even admitted that they aren't releasing them because there's ammunition for the Obama camp in them. As for being president, he just feels entitled to it - just like everything else in his life.
