Please explain, precisely, why did Gov. Romney have a Caiman Islands and Swiss bank account? Tax fraud? There is not a legitimate excuse, that is, if he was paying taxes. Hell, he only paid 18% last year on 20+ mill. Poor guy. If the discredited concept of "trickle down" was valid, we should be in heaven because taxes are
lower under Obama and he has actually created jobs and brought the economy back from the brink of disaster, even Republicans admit that.
When you figure out that puzzle, slam someone who paid their taxes as dictated by their tax preparer. Until then shut the f......up or get educated. Please.
Obama, Bernanke, Paulson and Bush kept this country from spiraling out of control. If you don't believe me, just do some research- start with congressional testimonies. Until then, please stifle yourself until you become educated.
Mitt Romney is an adult with a point of view. Just because it doesn't work for Mr. Geithner doesn't mean there is anything wrong with name calling.
Go back to the Reagan Presidency and see how many times he and Gorbachev traded barbs.
On the other hand, the chances of Romney getting elected are slim and none. But why bother to engage someone and give even a hint of credibility to his rantings?
OB should tell Geithner to can it. This isn't an election they have to win; it's one which they don't want to lose.
koolaid punch and a quarter a post
Evidently so timmy, after all, y'all keep calling our president's chief bundler "Honorable" don't you?
I'll be voting RP this November even if that means our current situation continues. My thought is that after 4 more years of this mayhem anyone that's left standing will have to recognize the absolute need to revolt.
jmho.
You will love the Ryan budget. Tax cuts for the rich, more defense waste and elimination of the rest of the budget.......... while, not balancing the budget for another 19 years, per plan.
You are sick. There will be a revolt and that is why the are running from the budget they just passed.
One other thing --- I'm not political, but the fact that Romney is a businessman & rich means absolutely nothing to me. I know a lot of rich people. I know a lot of people who have created their own businesses. Those two acts do not necessarily translate into intelligence.
We all know what happened last time a Harvard MBA was the President. This time it will be worse, for Romney is the ultimate corporate creature, without an iota of humanity and without any soul.
