Romney's wealth as seen through the prism of John Kerry and Brian Williams.

Williams grills Romney about his wealth in Jan
of 2010,  forgetting that he (Williams) earns
$13 million per year and Obama was a
multimillionaire at the time.

Did you know that John Kerry is worth approximately the same ($230 million) as Governor Romney?  I mention this because NBC and their most recently appointed "yes man,"  Brian Williams, described Romney's tax release for 2010 with this phrase:  "unimaginable wealth,"  a comparison made Friday evening after the release of Romney's 2010 tax forms.  Of course,  Romney presented his tax documents because that is what is expected;  he presented these tax forms because he promised to do so, several months ago.  But the self serving Williams cast the revelation in a very different light with these words  

 "...Mitt Romney, chose today to release his tax returns from the year 2010. He did it to help stop the questions about his wealth, but in releasing his taxes, he reveals what most Americans will regard as unimaginable wealth...."

The inequity in this moment of rhetorical comparison is not found in William's making comparison to the common American but in his failure to compare Romney's wealth with that of John Kerry (or Barack Obama's or his own obscene wealth).  Granted, Williams was not the NBC news caster when the traitorous John Kerry ran for the presidency (2004),  but, at the time,  NBC News failed to mention Kerry's wealth a single time;  not one news blub coming from NBC Evening News throughout the entire 2004 presidential election cycle.  

You should know that the Left codifies its attacks on various conservative types and uses those attacks over and over.    In the case of Mitt Romney, Brian Williams and his NBC puppet masters came up with there wild comparison of Romney's wealth back at the time of Obama's first State of the Union speech.  The day following that speech,  Jan 28, 2010,  Williams used the term "unfathomable wealth" in a brief interview with the Governor.  

I don't know about you,  but I want a president who has been successful in private life.  Romney inherited a reportedly "huge" sum of money from his father.  He gave every penny of that inheritance to BYU for one of its on-campus schools.  Romney began his adult life with zero cash on hand,  and lived in a cheap, on bedroom apartment with his new bride.   Romney's wealth came to him because of his own efforts and initiative.  

John Kerry?  He married into his money  -  both wives worth millions and millions.  Brian Williams?  He is wealthy because he learned early in life to say "Yes boss,  I will do anything you ask."  

Understand that while Williams busies himself comparing Romney to the everyday American,  he hides the fact that he makes $13 million per year and lives in a condo in New York that costs more than $2 million per year (some say as much as 20 million dollars),  each financial fact "unimaginable" in the mind of the common American.      

Point of post:  to set Romney's wealth in context and to remind the reader of the abject hypocrisy of the likes of Brian Williams.  Understand that Williams does not decide - on his own - whether to attack Romney or not;  he is told what to say and if he doesn't obey orders from his bosses,  he loses all that unfathomable wealth he has accumulated.
