Mitt Romney presents one enormous problem for Barack Obama’s campaign: No divorce records. That’s why the media are so hot to get their hands on Romney’s tax records for the past 25 years. They need something to “pick through, distort and lie about” — as the Republican candidate says.
Obama’s usual campaign method, used in 100 percent of his races, has been to pry into the private records of his opponents.
Democrats aren’t going to find any personal dirt on the clean-cut Mormon, so they need complicated tax filings going back decades in order to create the illusion of scandal out of boring financial records.
Romney has already released his 2010 tax return and is about to release his 2011 return. After all the huffing and puffing by the media demanding those returns, the follow-up story vanished remarkably quickly when the only thing the return showed was that Romney pays millions of dollars in taxes and gives a lot of money to charity.

People should be ask if anything was wrong with Romney’s tax records why the obama gestapo-IRS would not have acted against him before now-
Agree. Mitt would have been an nice target
This whole thing is a non starter. Nobody really cares that much about Mitt’s tax returns except the Libturds and none of them are going to vote for him anyway. Mitt is realeasin 2 years thats plenty. Nobody thinks he failed to pay his taxes. Its a non issue and he should ignore Harry Reid who basically just looks pathetic and mean.
Obama’s problem is, NO ONE CARES.. The public has made up its mind about him, he can do no better than 42-43% of the popular vote.. it doesn’t matter what he says or does, he won’t move that number 1 inch higher. It could go lower, and he can do things to keep it from falling, but nothing he says or does is going to sway the other 57-58% toward him.
The public has made up its mind, and did so long ago, polls are just starting to catch up with the realities.
He can attack Romney all day long, release his tax records, do this, do that, and IT WON’T MATTER..why??? Because the public has decided ANYONE is better than 4 more years of Obama. That’s the pure and simple fact. Romney cannot be painted as more dangerous or scarier than Obama.. so Obama is spitting in the wind, and every desperate attack just makes him look that more pathetic and drops his numbers more.
The way he’s running his campaign, by election day he won’t get 40%.
“Nah, just the Lame Stream Media and other Obama-bots”
Can we add Ann “hurray for romneycare” Coulter to the list?
Oh, my goodness - this is so very unfair of the Romney camp - after all, Obama’s been so very open and forthcoming about his own records....
