16. Kerry is not running on the Democratic ticket for president this year.

Obama is, and Obama does not own a yacht.

The Cayman Islands flag thing is a joke. The point is that not only does Romney hide money in the Caymans, but he even holds a fundraiser on a boat flying the Cayman Islands' flag. It's a joke.

It's the general attitude of the rich including Kerry and his wife toward seeking havens where they can reduce their taxes at a time the nation is planning to cut programs for the poor that is wrong.

In good times, people don't care so much. But please don't talk about cutting Medicare and Medicaid and Pell Grants if you are avoiding paying a fair share of taxes.
