All he cares about is money and doesn't have any regard for the thousands of people he runs over to get it. American greed at its finest.
My thoughts exactly.

How does he know what's best when his money is off shore. He is all about making money and doesn't give two sh#ts about you and I or the American people. His actions are so unpatriotic. Sending American labor to India and China for the sake of profit. There isn't anything wrong with that if you are a CEO with no conscience. If you are running for POTUS, then it's a problem. You have altered the lives of so many people; disrupted their livelihoods and shut down whole towns dependent on their success. Now you want to smile and say trust me? I don't think so.
BINGO!!!

Mitt Romney's Blind Trust Not So Blind - ABC News

I suspect this is a scandal which will continue to grow, fester throughout the Summer and the distrust of the electorate will grow with it. And it'll be a danmed if you do and damned if you don't situation for Mr. Romney because if his investments and hidden funds are made transparent voters may not trust him because of the choices he's likely to have made.

This is an issue which will not go away. Not anytime soon.


I know know if mitt can or not, but can ole hussein survive a failed 1st term?

Let's just say that Romney had hundreds of millions invested overseas. He is certainly not the only one. Why do you think people would do that? Do you think that Obama's effort to increase taxes on the wealthy is likely to help that or do you think more people will move more money?

Bill is right, Romney passes the threshold of being qualified to run for president - certain more so than Obama in 2008.
Oh good lord. You, of all people, are quoting Bill Clinton's word as the gospel? When have you EVER said a positive thing about Bill Clinton in your life? That's about as desperate as it gets.

For the record, I think old Bill is a slime bag, and if he says something I usually think the opposite is true. I respect Hilary though--she's a tough gal, even if I don't usually agree with her on domestic issues.

Why did Obama wait YEARS to release his birth certificate and not let the birther conspiracy snowball into a huge mess?

Romney has already released 3 years worth and will release the rest of the past 10 years in a month and half.

Why is Obama demanding 23 years from Romney when Obama refused to go above 8 years personally? More Obama hypocrisy isn't surprising.

I'd actually say Obama's hypocritical attacks are desperation.

Clinton wasn't a horrible president, I would have voted for him in 1996, but I was a year too young. He knew how to work with opposing viewpoints.

I'm not interested in defending Obama, but I do care if you have your facts straight or not. First, when has a president EVER been asked to release his birth certificate before? That's nuts, and it's been proven to be nuts. A lot of conservatives think the birthers are nuts. Enough said on that.

Tax returns, however, are expected from presidential candidates. Romney has not released three years, he's released ONE year, his 2011 return. He planned his finances that year when he knew he was going to do a presidential run--years prior to that would most likely give a more accurate view of his business activities. Obama has not released 8 years--he's released 11 years. No one that I know of has asked Romney to release 23 years of anything. Ten or 11 years would be more than adequate.

Barbour: Romney should release more tax returns - Yahoo! News

Although he's trying to diffuse things by saying it "doesn't amount to diddly," Haley Barbour came out this week urging Romney to release his returns and get this over with. There is no legitimate reason not to release them.

So again we are supposed to care more about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Obama does with ours? Whatever. Go take up Seppuku as a hobby.
