WASHINGTON (AP) — A new financial report from GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney shows that his wealth remains near $250 million, about the same as last

The new financial report from Romney describes sales of a large amount of stocks managed through his blind trust. Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul stressed that the trust manages investments for Romney and his wife, Ann.

The new report shows that Romney still made millions of dollars over the past year in lucrative bank notes and investment funds, including nearly 40 different funds associated with his former company, Bain Capital.

Romney is a pauper compared to Kerry and Kennedy, but Obama's media PAC has water to carry for their Marxist leader.

And before obama, Romney was worth $500 million.

We have GOT to get rid of obama so we can REALLY complain about Romney - NO 'BAMA 2012!

So? And Obama got rich being a government employee. How do you get these government jobs?

Very comforting to have a true capitalist running for POTUS.

Exactly!

The implication seems to be there's something wrong here or that being a capitalist separates you from America. Well...maybe Amerika...

Does that include his offshore accounts? Since he has so much money, he should spend his money first for the campaign, and stop asking me for money. He, the RNC, and rinos are nott getting a penny from me. I am targeting my money on true, conservatives. Seriously.

It appears the Ass. Press is upset that Romney is worth more than their entire operation.

If he earned it in a legal way, how is this news? Wouldn't that show that Gov. Romney is more talented at business than Mr. Obama?

Mr. Obama has never even managed a hot dog cart! The only money he's ever made has been from government positions, community organizing and books ghost-written by a terrorist!!

Hey, anybody able to maintain half their former net worth in the Obama economy is a hero.

The people should support their candidates of choice with their own money because this is OUR country and our public servants work for us.

It is a dangerous precedent to expect candidates to pay for their own campaigns because what you are saying is that government offices are for sale and only those with wealth need apply. In that case, might as well cut to the chase and impose a monarchy.

At least he earned it, Obama never legitimately earned a penny.
