I'm not so sure. Occasionally even judges find themselves making the "I didn't know I had that stock/LP/REIT etc." mea culpa. I think the problem here --- obviously different from that of a judge --- is that average Dem base voters can't really sympathize with someone not knowing what's in their portfolios, and it makes the family seem even more removed from the travails of working class life.
Of course, anyone who thinks this means GWB knows
more about the average American's daily experience is a waste of carbon. The Senate and the Texas governor's mansion/WH are both millionaire's clubs; one just has smaller enrollment.
