Well, I was trying to figure out who was worse, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal or Florida Teabagger Senator Marco Rubio as far as evaluating their performances after the state of the union speeches by President Obama, my conclusion is that probably Jindal was worse because that guy is just a pain to listen to. On the other hand, Rubio showed that he is so not ready for prime time despite his best efforts to inject himself into presidential politics by taking advantage of a party without leadership and direction.
But what about Rubio claiming to be middle class and living in a middle class neighborhood in Miami? Surely, unlike the elitist Obamas with their impressive degrees and luxurious home in Chicago, the Rubios claim to live in a house like your and mine. Oh, what a liar; he lies not only about evolution and climate change, but like Mitt Romney, he lies about his wealth too. It so turns out that not is he lying about living there -- he is trying to sell his home (at 6060 SW 13 ST West Miami, FL) -- he definitely does not live in a middle class home or neighborhood, unless he thinks that middle class Americans pay $2,455 a month in mortgage and $8,000 a year in property taxes, which adds up to $37,460 in payments alone and it is fair to assume that with utilities and maintenance, it will cost at least $40,000 a year to live in this house (and using standard metrics for financing such a home, one would need to make at least $150,000 a year to afford a home like this). Yet another wealthy politician out of touch with reality and then claiming to be like the rest of us.
