Mitt Romney had this exchange during an interview with Shmoopie's husband:
MITT ROMNEY: Let me tell you, George, the fundamentals of my tax policy are these. Number one, reduce tax burdens on middle-income people. So no one can say my plan is going to raise taxes on middle-income people, because principle number one is keep the burden down on middle-income taxpayers.Sadly, he's gonna be getting a lot of shit for being so out of touch with reality that he sees middle-incomes as being around a quarter of a million dollars, when what we of course really see here is a candidate voluntarily participating in a tv interview to advance his own campaign being set up with a "gotcha!" question that the lamestream media of course then reported on because they're totes in the tank for Obama so they can finally put an end to freedom and Christmas. What kind of democracy can we possibly have if recorded words recorded for the public are shown to the public as they were said?
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Is $100,000 middle income?
MITT ROMNEY: No, middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less.

Wait a sec. Obama defines the richies as $200K and up for his taxing purposes ("I'm only taxing the rich people, not you battleground voters whose votes my campaign depends on"), so he is right. Unless there are lower, upper, middle and "other middle" classes, of course. Or as pols think about it - Democrats, Battleground and Republicans.
