While judging the legitimacy of presidents by how they stand on 'issues' is an okay approach to deciding your vote, nothing beats the thrill of superficially criticizing our candidates by the homes they live in. While Romney has far more homes than Obama, and they are all verifiable mansions, Obama is no Homeless Hank. He is more of a Middle Class Melvin.
Judge Away!

Barack Obama's Chicago Abode- $1.65 Million in 2005
Many people wonder how Obama could afford a $1.65 Million home, when all he ever did for a living before becoming president was work as a 'community worker' and 'poor-person advocate.' Oh ye idiots of little faith. Did we forget Obama was also a fancy shmancy senator before governing over our bountiful country? Senators make some green, and Obama spent his on this 6,199 square foot home built in 1917 which includes four fire places to fight the Chicago chill. However, this is his only home, before this elite pile of bricks the Obamas lived in a humble condo.
Eew! That is so...average.
Neither of the candidates is living in Craigslist-found squalor like the rest of America. So at the polls, flip a coin (if you have one in this economy) and just choose from two ritzy rich fellas with a penchant for stylish homes.
