The Obamas are rich by most people's standards, but I don't think their household income will seem as bad in comparison.

It's not just that although part of Obama's appeal is that "common man" thing. He and his wife only paid off their student loans and got out of debt after his book became a best seller.
It's more the fact that Hillary's campaign funding has to be reported, but the Clintons won't reveal where donations to the Presidential Library are coming from, for example. And she put 5 million of her own money into that campaign, if it came from someone shady via Bill than it will look really bad. And honestly the more the Clintons protest the more it looks like they have something to hide.
