Obama team targets Romney over taxes, Republicans cry foul
(Reuters) - President Barack Obama's campaign and top Democrats on Sunday called on Mitt Romney to release more personal tax records and raised questions about his offshore assets that the Republican challenger's campaign condemned as an "unseemly and disgusting" character assault.
---------------------
"The one thing he could do ... to clear up whether or not he's done anything illegal - whether he's shielding his income from taxes in Bermuda or Switzerland - is to do what every other presidential candidate's done, and that's to release a series of years of their own tax returns," Gibbs said.
"This is a guy whose slogan is: 'Believe in America' - and it should be 'Business in Bermuda.' That's what Mitt Romney's all about," Gibbs said.
Romney's campaign fought back.
"The Obama campaign's latest unfounded character assault on Mitt Romney is unseemly and disgusting," said Andrea Saul, a Romney campaign spokeswoman.

And ignore folks like Cory Booker and Lanny Davis. They just want to stay in good with the Georgetown cocktail party set.

(3,596 posts)How about the fact that prick has moved millions of dollars that rightfully belong to American workers, suppliers and investors offshore to avoid any U.S. taxes? He is so evil I don't even think Satan can trump his egotism. The Mormons teach humility. I guess he missed that when he was out sowing his royal oats in France or maybe when he was assaulting a gay student, assaulting a professor, impersonating a law enforcement official or torturing a helpless dog.
This guy is nothing less than the worst of the worst. And they know it. They sit around their satanic Kabal and plan the next horror for the American people.

Keep hitting him with this, it is working.
Repeat, repeat, repeat that he outsources jobs and offshores his money. Not what anyone would want in a UNITED STATES President.
