Nothing screams "I believe in America" like:

Obama redistributing the wealth of this country globally per the UN's millenium goals.

Obama/Clinton surrendering the sovereignty of this country through the Law of the Sea Treaty and the Arms Trade Treaty (formerly known as the UN Small Arms Treaty).

Yawn......

I'm supposed to be more concerned with what Mitt Romney does with his own money than what Obama does with mine? Really?

I really do not understand why this is bothering you so much..How many people making the kind of money Romney, and others, probably Buffet as well have money is foreign banks and foreign investments? Why do you think GE has so much invested in other countries? I think we could discuss this forever and never see eye to eye. People with money have assets all over the world, I am happy for them. Why would you not be?

Vanity Fair reported that among other things Romney parked some of his money in a Bermuda corporation entirely owned by him which he transferred to his wife's name the day before he became Massachusetts's governor and then failed to list it on financial disclosure forms.
It finally appeared on his 2010 tax return.

Sounds legit to me.

I just love how the Romneybots are already protecting and making excuses for their messiah. How sickening.

Because he did not make his money building useful items, inventing new technology, or making America better. Neither did Warren Buffet.

Mitt Romney made his money by taking over companies and occasionally pushing them into bankruptcy. This gave his company the legal opportunity to take away jobs, benefits, and pensions from working-class people.

This is not something to be celebrated. I would celebrate the success of Henry Ford, or Bill Gates, or even that annoying Facebook guy. But not these "masters of the universe."
