What's embarrassing is this country picked a man with no experience to lead the nation and he's been failing before our eyes for nearly four years and yet the media have been supporting him and hiding his handling of everything. The only thing that gets them is excited is when he comes out of the closet for gay marriage yet actually does nothing about gay marriage. That's hypocritical You mean like dumbo's records being locked up? Is that not hypocritical? What's dumbo hiding - lying about being a foreign student?

Steve, To be clear on the hypocritical stuff, you believe in transparency for ALL candidates and that the Obama records that are being hidden from the public should not be hidden, correct? You want Obama to prove to us all that he isn't hiding things, right? I'm assuming the answer is "yes" because you don't want us to think that you are hypocritical.

So you don't trust the government or you do? Or is it just that you trust the government when it does things you like and you don't trust them when they do things you don't. There are certain things that one can trust the government to do. This doesn't mean that one has to "trust" the government. One thing that one can trust the IRS to do is to try to get every penny that it can from taxpayers. This means that they will go over tax returns looking for errors and other ways to get more tax revenues. We can also assume that they pay special attention to very wealthy individuals because even small percentage errors can mean big bucks. Basically, we can trust the IRS to be the IRS. Much like we can trust a scorpion to be a scorpion.
