You make jokes about President Obama being forced to produce his birth certificate--which no President has EVER been asked to do--when you refuse to release your tax returns--which all modern-day Presidential candidates have done?
You are a complete moron.
Unlike you, Barack Obama responded to "We The People." Yes, it was a crazy, off-the-deep-end faction of "We The People" but he produced that birth certificate because Barack Obama understands that he is a public servant. Whereas you--whose idea of "servant" is a man named Bertram who fetches you a lemonade after a strenuous afternoon of riding up and down in your car elevator.
For a man who saunters around the country looking like a constipated anchorman making clumsy jokes--that's a whole lot of misplaced hubris.
You aren't funny. Your attempt at humor isn't funny--and the fact that you're sitting oblivious in a pile of your own irony--is pathetic.

As James Carville might say: It's the dichotomy, stupid!
That about sums up the hypocrisy of the TeaPublicans...

However, I needed to vent a bit. Romney is such a tool bag.

(15,189 posts)Have you seen his grades, or are you questioning that too? To compare Obama's college tuition to Rmoney's taxes is ridiculous. It's obvious Rmoney is hiding something. And it's here and now, not 30 years ago. I could care less if some Kenyan Muslim, communist, socialist paid for Obama's education.
He got it, taught Constitutional law and later became President all while being black, and having a white mother. NONE of the GOP can do what he did. The GOP consists of idiots who run for VP and don't even know what that job is. But the GOP cheer her on.
The GOP puts idiots like Akin in a science committees. The same asshole who thinks women can shut their bodies down to rapist sperm. IDIOTS! The GOP brought us Bush, the dumbest piece of shit for a President.

(24,411 posts)Romney's taxes are about NOW. I'm sick of right-wing extremists comparing Obama's college transcripts to Romney's tax records.
All modern-day Presidentisl candidates have released their tax returns. Period.
Romney's refusal to do so demonstrates his contempt for the American people. Clearly, Romney represents the Koch Brothers, the cocktail circuit and the rest of the one percenters. That is is base. That is who he aims to please. The Kochs don't need to see Romney's taxes because they don't care if Romney is a tax cheat. All of Romney's friends cheat and pay little taxes and I'm sure that they greatly empathize with Mitt's need to hide his taxes.
"We The People" are an annoyance to Mitt.
