If Obama had refused to release all his tax returns in 2008....

...need I finish?

One way any person can tell there's racism (conscientious or nu-conscientious) afoot is overt disparate treatment..

Obama is being held to a higher standard and few are holding the M$M to the same...

Your take?

Notice every time Romney gets hit, he wants a retraction or an apology? He's like an old school Euro aristocrat taking the gloves off to slap you in the face.

Fucking clueless about how he comes off. But I knew he would be, bless his heart.

And where is Mittens' original birth certificate? Why doesn't anyone care about that? Or his school transcripts?

Romney isn't being held to a standard at all and I feel racism, whether conscientious or unconscientious, is a major reason.

Last night I started thinking in bed (always dangerous ) if we took the records and history of each candidate and presented to people who hasn't been keeping up with the election at all without pictures, names or party association most if not all would choose Obama and laugh about Romney even being considered. They would call it a no brainer.
