New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday defended Mitt Romney against criticism that his wealth complicates his ability to connect with everyday folks, saying Romney’s wealth should be a positive factor in the race.
“I think that’s what we want in a president of the United States,” Christie told host Bob Schieffer CBS’s “Face the Nation,” saying that Romney's wealth is a reflection of his success.
His defense came after Romney noted in a Michigan speech Friday that his wife Ann drives “a couple of Cadillacs.”
“So the cat’s out of the bag, Bob, on the fact that Governor Romney’s wealthy,” Christie said. “So he has a number of cars, many people who’ve made a lot of money over time do. I think this is just something where, to be candid, folks are looking for him to make trip ups.”

Oh you did lose them all when you were so young. My father was former military also. I know well what you mean. My mother said there was so much about the war she had never heard until I married my husband. When we were in the military my father would tell my husband stories Mother said she had never heard.
You are so right in saying our elders have so much to teach. You sound as though you have done just fine though. Your parents would be very proud of you.
I am so glad you have your siblings. A sense of family, those roots, are our foundation. Family is so important.
Don’t make me cry. :)
It is. So very important.
Good night, and thank you for a wonderful conversation. :)
Good night and thank you. For the conversation and for your kindness and for being so gracious. (Don’t cry)
