belongs to President Obama - but it is backfiring because it is so rude - all things considered, including his bumbling stances about it.

He MADE 58 000 dollars a day! while he said things like "I, too, am unemployed and I, too, have worried about pink slips"
Let the American people wrap their brains around that and I believe it will be the straw that broke any possible left over chance of him being electable.

I honestly believe his Tax issues and his income issues at a time when we have a laser sharp focus on the one percent, and come at a time when people understand about the Cayman islands and Swiss bank accounts will be insurmountable in the America of today.

Besides, President Obama IMO will take this dog and make it hunt, TONIGHT!

They thought it would burry it. It has only amplified and magnified it. I heard about it twice during the 20 minute ride home on the radio and then again as soon as I turned on the teevee.

O'Donnell said Obama was LUCKY.

Perhaps so.

But Mitt was truly stupid.

Because he brings tone deafness, arrogance, smugness and stupidity to staggering levels.
