Obama demands Romney’s tax returns; why hasn’t Romney demanded Barry’s college records?
by Michael Fell

White House spokesman Jay Carney dismissed Donald Trump’s position earlier this week that should Obama keep insisting Mitt Romney release his tax returns, Romney should demand that Barry Soetoro, Barrack Hussein Obama, or whatever his name is, first make his college records public information.

Of course, rather than address the issue at hand, the administration consciously chose to launch into an Alinsky style personal attack on Trump. Carney called the suggestion “preposterous,” dismissing Trump as the “guy who insisted that he didn’t believe the president was born in the United States.”

Never mind that the current White House occupant signed an Executive Order hiding every last one of his personal documents from public view on his first day in office. For “the most transparent administration in history,” transparency is meant for everyone else, not themselves.

In typical Progressive “do as I say, not as I do” fashion, the White House has launched repeated attacks on the presumptive GOP presidential nominee over questions about the timing of his departure from private equity firm Bain Capital. One campaign spokeswoman even suggested that Romney committed a felony.

The White House and fellow Democrats keep insisting that several companies filed for bankruptcy and/or shipped jobs overseas under Romney’s Bain leadership. They’re obviously trying to create the theme that Romney only wants to help fellow millionaires, not working people.

Romney has maintained he is not responsible for many of those decisions because they took place after he took a leave of absence in February 1999 to oversee the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Winter Games. According to recently released documents, regulatory filings show that Romney was still in charge of Bain through 2002. However, Bain officials, including Democrats, say that he was not involved with the company’s day-to-day operations during that time.

The White House is also criticizing Romney for setting up offshore bank accounts and refusing to release additional information concerning his personal fortune, estimated to be as much as $250 million.

Romney countered this week that, “John McCain ran for president and released two years of tax returns. John Kerry ran for president, and his wife, who has hundreds of millions of dollars, she never released her tax returns. Somehow this wasn’t an issue. The Obama people keep on wanting more and more and more, more things to pick through, more things for their opposition research to try and make a mountain out of and distort and to be dishonest about.”

But Progressives keep insisting that Romney’s supposed secrecy goes to the “trust factor.” This is the absolute height of hypocrisy. When it comes to secrecy and the trust factor, how on earth can policy wonks who insist on hiding the Oval Office occupant’s entire past claim even a sliver of the moral high ground? Perhaps Progressives need a lesson on how trust is a two way street. They should start with answering the following:

Why was the “Affordable Care Act” passed without Congress reading it first?

Why weren’t the New Black Panthers prosecuted for the voter intimidation that was clearly documented?

Why did the NLRB sue Boeing?

Why has the administration stifled the production of cheap energy through EPA regulations and denial of permits?

Why has the administration abandoned national border security while suing States attempting to enforce federal law and granting blanket protection from prosecution for breaking immigration laws to millions of illegal aliens?

Why is the administration suing States that passed Voter ID laws intended solely to protect the integrity of America’s voting process?

Why has the counting of American votes in the November 2012 election been outsourced to a Spanish company?

Why does the White House continue insisting that average, everyday Americans are not being taxed by the “Affordable Care Act” when enforcement of the “penalty” falls to the IRS?

When did the IRS suddenly leave the Department of Treasury and move to the Department of Health and Human Services?

Why did so many millions of taxpayer dollars go to green energy companies whose executives just happened to have been big time Progressive bundlers for the 2008 Democratic presidential campaign?

Where is the justification for using Executive Privilege to hide the truth about Operation Fast and Furious which resulted in the murder of American Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry?

The White House calling for transparency from the Mitt Romney campaign might make more sense if Obama practiced what his administration has preached. But he has not. “The most transparent administration in history” has practiced anything but transparency. The American people won’t suffer this level of horrendous duplicity much longer.

 

Obama’s Descent From Mt. Olympus
by Fred Thompson

Remember how Obama was presented to us about five years ago. He was above politics. He just wanted to bring us together. While politics was small and petty, he wanted to heal our troubled nation, clean the environment and lower the sea levels. (As I recall he would still allow the sun to set in the West.) When he took office he recognized that our economy faced monumental challenges, however, he refused to be diverted by what was of concern to every mere mortal in America. He had bigger, legacy-making fish to fry. Ergo, his health care remake and the regulating of the rest of the economy. The intelligencia swooned. Finally, a president they could admire.

Now, his eye is on what he considers to be his most significant endeavor of all- the thing of most importance to the world itself – his reelection. The economy, health care (neither of which he chooses to talk about) and everything else pales in comparison to this history-making quest. It is supremely ironic that, in order to achieve this, he has chosen to become the most divisive, small-ball president in our history and one whose base appeal is not to intelligence but to ignorance and envy.

Romney and Bain

With the economy in the tank, the loss of a major credit rating, a debt of 15 trillion dollars, Europe in a nose dive, a debt to GDP ratio worse than that of France, Iran proceeding apace in their development of a nuclear weapon, Hillary’s favorite “reformer” massacring thousands of innocents in Syria and a nuclear Pakistan acting more erratic than ever, the Obama campaign is fixated on the burning question of when Romney left Bain Capital to go run the Olympics over a decade ago. The media has dutifully moved heaven and earth to get to the bottom of this because if they can place Romney at Bain in 2001, instead of the 1999 date when he obviously left Bain, then they can tag him with the dreaded “outsourcer” label, as Obama’s dishonest TV ads have done. Although it is apparent that Romney was not in charge when the dastardly outsourcing was done, here’s the point: a company leader who has the opportunity to outsource and make more money and refuses to do so for political reasons ought to be fired. We don’t live in the 19th century anymore Alice. Technology, the demands of investors, and the demands of customers who want to pay less, all require that companies “do what they do best” and let others do the same. It’s the efficiency that competitiveness demands. It makes for economic growth and often makes for more jobs, not fewer. And by the way, if you want to meet one of the biggest group of outsourcers in the US, check out the next meeting of Obama’s Job Council. We lay the highest corporate tax rate in the world on US companies and are shocked and outraged when they want to earn some bucks abroad.

Another Wrinkle in Obama’s Class Warfare

Coming in a close second in the Obama cynicism sweepstakes is his solution to our debt and deficit problem – the “Buffett rule” that would require millionaires to pay not less than 30 % of their income in taxes. It’s just another little wrinkle in Obama’s class warfare effort to “bring us together.” It’s designed to clip the guys who take much of their income in the form of capital gains and, therefore, pay at the lower rates. It’s simply a capital gains tax increase but let’s skip the merits of the proposal for the time being. How much would it go toward reducing the debt and deficit? The Joint Committee on Taxation ran the numbers. The proposal would raise $31 billion in revenue over 11 years. That’s $3 billion a year. The only problem is that the government spends 10 billion dollars a day. So it would take 11 years for the Buffett rule to pay for 3 days of government spending. This is his solution to the 5 trillion dollars in additional debt that he has run up in less than one term.

And so it goes. With the specter of his own record haunting him Obama attacks, and divides – rich (his definition) against the poor, black and Hispanic against white, men against women, single women against married ones and speculators (but only when gas prices go up.) And now, having descended from Mt Olympus, he is wallowing around in any irrelevant demagoguery that presents itself. His entire campaign is fast becoming one giant insult to the intelligence of the American people. That’s why this election is as much a test of us as it is of him.

 

I'm still voting for Obama.

And I'm still working to get expats here registered to vote. I figure I need about 20 to cancel the effect of Occupy's (supposed) multiple votes, and the few stupid expats who will vote for Romney.

 

Me too

 

Getting Back On The Subject

 

Me too. I'll vote for a far-left, socialist, pot smoking, foreign-born Muslim before I'll vote for a robotic, sleazy, shifty, outsourcing, vulture capitalist any day.

What? He's not a far-left, socialist, foreign-born Muslim?

Damn.

 

No no, most of that he is, big time

 

Thanks for clearing this one up for us guys, im sure there were alot of people who read your posts who were on the fence as to which way you guys might vote........

 

Well, I did hesitate for a few moments, thought that maybe they know what they are talking about, perhaps I should join their crazy group, perhaps...

And then I remembered what they really stand for and said: Naaah!!!
