President Obama bested Mitt Romney by portraying his Republican opponent as a rich businessman who used offshore tax havens and ran enterprises into the ground without regard for working people.

Turns out the wealthy didn’t lose the 2012 election; rather, the Republican rich lost to the Democratic rich.
