I wonder where all of Obama's investments and holdings are.
Most people are invested, at least partially, overseas in their 401k.

There, I filled in the blank.
So we can fill in the blank with a Republican tool? No thanks.

Besides, has anyone seen Romney's birth certificate to prove he isn't a unicorn?

If you desire, it's a free country, unless you keep voting for the Grim Reaper.

What is the right % in taxes and what was the exact quote then. If you're going to say someone is wrong, then provide something of substance

Children wait for things not coming, as if they are somehow entitled to things not being given to them.

The President's financial documents have been made public. For a long time now, as I'm recalling. So, why is Mr. Romney hiding the information and why? What laws did he break and what should the penalty be? He couldn't be appointed to a Cabinet position in the federal government if he hid information like he's doing now. So, why hire him for this job? Where there's smoke there's fire. Probably a big, dirty fire.

If he released them in April, the 24hr news cycle would of done its thing, people would of moved on, and at most you would of seen random bits being used in attack ads that don't amount to much. Instead Obama's campaign has been able to run with "what is Romney hiding" for the entire time.
You must not know the liberal media. The more diversion you hand them, the more they muck around in it --as long as they can make it "look bad" for the opposition guy (that's the one on the right, fyi). And if you don't hand it to them, they'll make it up. Have you EVER seen journalism at such a low? We are throwing mud at real journalists (yes, there are a few still remaining) when we call the mainstream press et al "journalists". Their job is to inform the people of the TRUTH, not make it up as they go.

Talk about "attack ads that don't amount to much." The left seems to be in favor of the latest. Even Lanny Davis said it's untrue and not befitting of the President not to denounce it.

Obama and the WH will stop at nothing and have no respect for truth. No matter when Romney releases anything, it will be blown out of proportion, snippets taken and ads made to intentionally misrepresent.
Do you not think he knows that?? We all do. We see it on our screens now.

The Presidents tax returns have been made public, but I dont recall his financial documents being public. Maybe you can point them out before you run around accusing people of doing things without anything to back it up other than hate.

Sure he could.. Cabinet positions dont require releasing tax records to the public

Are you saying that Romney is just afraid of the big bad scawwy fake journalists studying his taxes? If that's too much for him to handle, maybe the presidency is just not for him!

You have to be really outstanding to win like that. Is Romney really that outstanding? Be honest with yourself.
Kind of reminds me of John McCain claiming that he knew where Bin Laden was and that he would "get him" if elected.
