So how'd you feel about John F. Kerry's (BTW, he served im Vietnam) money? OH yeah! That wasn't really even his money. It was his wife Teraaaayza's dead husband, John Heinz' fortune he was spending. At least Romney knows HOW to earn & keep money.

Ps: I should have read ahead!

That is why a politician should, instead of being reflexively defensive or pop off a bunch of canned responses designed to get you to commercial, someone seeking high office should be able and willing to say "Well, Judy, you ask a good question. Is it a bad thing for a rich person to be president? Let's think about this..."

Politicians give journalists a free pass the moment they sit down because the reporter knows they are going to get pabulum designed and practiced to avoid conversation and/or direct answers so, the entire interview is set up by the hack to come up with some new and clever way to imply their subject hates kids/puppies/old people/workers.

The instant you engage in conversation, yeah, YOU might be vulnerable to saying something dumb but, if you can simply hold intelligent conversation, a seeming prerequisite for higher office, you should be able to handle accusatory stuff and simply talk about it and right then and there, the reporter has suddenly got to be very careful with what THEY say and ask because now they might say something dumb they're gonna have to deal with later.

Hiding his money implies he DIDN'T pay taxes on it, but the only error they have found to date is $1700 dollars of income he failed to report on an account at UBS.. that equates to what in tax dollars... $600 maybe?

I would think if HIDING his money was the issue they would have him nailed to the cross for tax evasion, but that's not what anyone is saying..

In fact he's earned every penny he has, and has paid taxes on it and then invested it or put it into foreign banks, where he continues to pay taxes on the interest income from those accounts.

With Obama in office, and what the economy has done, how do you think he would have done investing or depositing money into US banks?? Would you suggest he would have done better in a JP Morgan, or UBS? I believe this points back to prior to our economy going boobs up, so I would think that Romney was smart enough to see it coming, and was smart enough to DO something about it with HIS money.

Would you be more willing to vote for somebody that WAS a billionaire that lost all of his riches when the economy went sour, or a billionaire that actually was smart enough to continue to turn a profit and MAKE money when the economy went sour?

Mitt just shows you again how smart, and business savvy he is, and the liberal leaders make you believe he's a crook..

But I think what is more telling, is Romney doesn't NEED to be president, but I think Obama does. The only thing Obama has EVER accomplished is running for and winning elections.. He's never really accomplished anything after getting elected, and he never accomplished anything PRIOR to getting elected..

Romney has already accomplished more than Obama EVER will, and whether he wins or loses this election, he'll still be rich and successful, and make more money.. If Obama loses he will never be more than "the Former President".. He'll never be a billionaire entrepeuner, or a successful corporate entity, or a great leader of industry.. he'll just be introduced at the Rotary Club speaking engagments as "the former President"..

He's already at his Level of "Peterness" by several levels, and losing this election he really loses any meaning, merit or value..
