Romney: Obama "wants Americans to be ashamed of success"- [View all]

Romney is making the claim that Pres Obama wants Americans to be ashamed of success.

Ok..... What is success?

suc·cess /səkˈsɛs/ Show Spelled[suhk-ses] Show IPA
noun
1. the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors.
2. the attainment of wealth, position, honors, or the like.

(Dictionary.com)

So...Why is Romney acting like he is embarrassed to show Americans the records of his prosperous career?

He is angry at Pres. Obama for asking him to share with America just how successful he's been .

[font size=6] Aren't you the one saying success is something to be ashamed of Mitt? [/font]
