That is why he is (once again) stretching the truth past the point of credulity by suggesting that he indeed at some point in his very privileged life he suffered deprivations (on his mission to Paris in swanky accommodations) and financial worry.
It is a bad narrative based on an erroneous assumption. I don't care if a candidate had a privileged life - but I don't want to hear tall tales about the multimillionaire losing sleep worrying about a possible pink slip.
You can just hear Obama’s re-election team going, “Oh Please, Oh Please, let it be Romney.”
