    All of these questions have either been asked and answered or are utterly irrelevant to Obama's reelection.

    Yes, I am. Do some research on how much money Obama, by government fiat, has invested in businesses in multiple countries from China to Finland.

    I am anxiously awaiting the results of detective thumbs investigation.

    Hopefully his spleen holds out until that point.

    Something tells me that if you actually had to explain your theory/argument in detail, you would not be able to do so without copy & pasting from some other site where you get your talking points.

    Why does Romney continue to dissemble the truth?

    Romney’s misleading history of tax returns issued by presidential contenders

    “John McCain ran for president and released two years of tax returns. John Kerry ran for president; you know, his wife, who has hundreds of millions of dollars, she never released her tax returns. Somehow this wasn’t an issue.”
    — Mitt Romney, on Fox News, July 16, 2012

    “It's standard for the last Republican nominee, the last Democratic nominee.”
    — Romney senior adviser Ed Gillespie, on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” July 15, 2012, answering a question on why Romney will release only two years of tax returns.

    In trying to fend off demands — from both Democrats and even some Republicans — that presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney release more than two years of tax returns, his campaign has sought to claim that releasing two years of tax returns is normal. (Romney so far has released his 2010 return and an estimate for his 2011 return.)

    Is that really the case? Let’s check out Gillespie’s claim, presumably about McCain and President Obama, and Romney’s claim that the tax returns of Teresa Heinz Kerry were “not an issue.”

    ...

    The Pinocchio Test

    McCain did release two years of tax returns, but the Romney campaign is being misleading with its suggestions that releasing two years of tax returns is some sort of standard for presidential contenders. Two years is actually the exception — only one challenger out of the last seven presidential nominees has released just two years of returns.

    Moreover, Romney is wrong to suggest that releasing the tax returns of Kerry’s wife “wasn’t an issue” in the 2004 campaign. It was a big issue, because Republicans made it one.

    Ron Paul: Romney should release more tax returns

    With pressure building on Mitt Romney to release more of his past tax returns, Ron Paul on Tuesday added his voice to the chorus of people - including some Republicans - who say Romney should just bite the bullet and release the returns, according to Politico.

    If the information on the tax return is more damaging then releasing it, Mitt will not release it no matter what, at this point I am not sure how can that be?

    As more and more Republicans and right-leaning commentators has been asking for him to release his returns, I'm actually thinking more and more that he has absolutely nothing to hide at all. Maybe its because I view 2 party politics as a game, but I cannot fathom them asking him to release if they thought it would in any way hurt him. Either that or they know it won't be too bad and want to get the issue over before October/November rolls around.

    I don't think so, you have to remember that NOBODY is backing this guy. They all make sure that there is plenty of distance between themselves and Romney. I wouldn't be surprised at the opposite, that they are preparing to say "I told you Romney was no good!"

    Money was spent here. Fact checking orgs have dismissed these attacks especially regarding Fiat.

    Just as an example, Obama appointed Jeff Immelt, board chairman of GE, as his "Jobs Czar." Immelt has led the charge in outsourcing GE jobs -- roughly 160,000 employees in other countries as opposed to 130,000 in the U.S. As you know, GE pays no U.S. taxes, partially because of Obama's "green" initiatives. How's that for outsourcing?

    BTW, Fiat indirectly got millions from the U.S. government. Guess who owns Chrysler, recipient of a huge chunk of bailout money?

    Obama has been outsourcing with our money (government billions). Bain Capital, while Romney was on leave to run the Olympics, used private money to outsource far, far, far fewer jobs than just GE alone.
