Romney needs to address these attacks head on. He can’t keep hiding and brushing it off, or sending out surrogates.

This stuff (offshoring, Swiss accounts) is making major inroads into the minds of the voters.

Obama is a disaster but allowing this stuff to stick makes it a choice election instead of a referendum on Obama.

Owe’Malley’s tax and spend regime is driving productive people out of the state. Maryland is a lost cause.

“Maryland is a lost cause.”
And Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania are benefiting from O’Malley’s tax policies; among other policies.
People and businesses are fleeing from Md.
When Ehrlich (R) was governor, slots were evil. Once O’Malley
was elected, slots were going to help balance MD’s budget problems. Trouble is, it was too late. Va, Pa, and De were already years ahead of Md. If Md was not the home of so many federal employees, it would be under water.
As Ron Smith would say, Md lives off of the federal teat.

i don’t understand why someone doesn’t find Obama’s tax returns from previous year that was posted on the web a while back, and say inquiring minds want to know in what other countries Obama was investing his money? i think he reported about 7 or 8 thousand dollars in interest earned in “various” countries. i’m sure someone could locate this on the web, if his minions haven’t already cleansed that posting.

What is wrong with answering a question with a question/

How come we know more about Romney, a private businessman and former governor of MA. Than we know about the POTUS.

How & Why did he travel to Pakistan in the 80’s when Americans where barred from entry? Was he there for Islamist or Al-Queda training?

What where some, or any one of the articles he wrote during his time as editor of the Harvard Law Review? As a matter of fact where are his Harvard, Columbia & Occidental College records? Since he has invoked Executive Privlage in the Fast and Furious investigation: Does this make him a consirator to murder or an accomplis after the fact?

Where did he get his CT SS # from, Why didn't he have one until he was well into adolescence or adulthood?

Who bankrolled his college education. Was he a scholarship recipient or did he have student loans and massive savings from Community organizing pay?

How often did he smoke dope and do Crack Cocaine? Has it effected his cognitive reasoning, or is he a natural idiot?

Those are just off the top of my head.

As for Swiss bank accounts. Mr. Romney has business interests all over the World. It is called being successful, Mr Obama should try it sometime.

Mr. Romney uses those bank accounts in foreign countries for his foreign business interests in those countries. A little knowledge of economics, business and finance on the part of President Obama may have spared this country three additional years of economic depression.

Perhaps someone smart enough to know about these things and the reasons behind them should be in charge for a while! he certainly couldn't do any worse!

Great comment! Here’s a question to ask:
how much money did barry get from overseas in the
last election?

You just summed it up better than Romney. My point is if he comes out and says something akin to your statements, he'd be fine. But by avoiding it and having his surrogates duck the issue on the talk shows, it look shadier than needs be.

My response to “why does Romney have an offshore bank account?” is “why does Obama have an offshore birth certificate?”.

Absolutely right. Feds and an army of contractors doing government work. (In actuality, the contractors DO the work under the charade of government “managers”.)
