>> While the Jeep commercial was technically correct, it tried hard to imply something Romney was saying earlier. I think the ad was borderline, but nothing close to the shit Obama pulled. >> In context, the "you didn't build that" was clearly talking about the infrastructure. No, it wasn't. Obama is purportedly a highly educated individual who is the most adored public speaker in modern history. The comment, in context, was this: “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” Quoting the Washington Post analysis of it: "Either “You didn’t build that” is a philosophical statement that entrepreneurs did not build their businesses on their own, and it’s deserved every inch of coverage it’s received — or it’s a deplorable failure of grammar." Let me ask you a question. If he is clean with respect to tax laws, why does he have money in known tax havens? And why did he include the stuff about his Swiss accounts? You do know that part of the tax amnesty in 2009 was that the offenders had to account for their accounts in that bank in the future. Which is likely why he balked at releasing his 2009 returns. You don't know WTF you're talking about. There is zero percent chance that Romney had done a damned thing that was in any way a violation of the US tax law. ZERO. There was never ANY evidence that Romney did ANYTHING improper in his tax returns. I've handled thousands of tax returns, and his were as clean or more so than any I ever saw. You're ignorant. I recommend you get away from the liberal rags for a while.
