And BTW, the tax issue is not about taxes. It is about how it is perceived by voters who have not yet made up their mind or who are susceptible to changing how they will vote or whether they will vote. Including how it may be part of any debate by the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates and how they will respond live. If they let Mitt Romney's tax returns be the deciding factor in how they vote, they shouldn't have the privilege to vote anyway, because that's abusing the privilege. That's even less of a 'reason' to vote a certain way than someone's skin color; IMO, of course.

If you own AAPL or AMZN, and follow their businesses, you wouldn't even think that times are bad. Workforce participation today is the lowest its been since 1981 in the wake of Carter's presidency. Obama is a disaster and you're talking about Apple stock. Workforce Participation at 30-Year Low By AARON GOLDSTEIN on 5.4.12 @ 10:37AM Although the national unemployment rate fell to 8.1% for the month of April, the decline is due not to job growth but declining participation in the labor market. Simply put a critical mass of people have given up looking for work. Consequently, labor market participation is now at its lowest level in more than thirty years with only 63.6% of the adults in the workforce. Some stimulus plan. It's no wonder that President Obama is dancing on Osama's watery grave and telling people Romney wouldn't have called the tune. He is a song and dance man. But song and dance men know how to use smoke and mirrors. It's up to Mitt Romney to make sure this smoke doesn't get into the eyes of the electorate and find a clear way to tell people that Obama hasn't done the job he was elected to do. spectator.org * * *

Well I want Obama's college admission papers, classes taken and his grades. What say'th you to that!!
