I dont really care how smart he was 25-30 yrs ago. Obviously he is pretty smart now. Plus he ALREADY HAS THE JOBS!! With Romney is all quite recent and relevent. Bush was a lazy dope in college but still "became" president. It what you do as an adult, when its for real. It is obvious Romney did something with his taxes that he is not too proud of.I guess it is worth not coming clean with us??

How is it obvious? From what I am reading you are saying it is obvious that Obama didn't complete college since he refuses to release his transcripts. Romney released his taxes but where's Obamas transcripts? You're making no sense here. Obama is the one claiming transparency.
Romney tax return here
Obama doesn't even know how many states are in the union that he wants to continue being President of. What gives? I'm thinking it's stupidity so we need to see his college transcripts.
The damage is done. No need for him to talk about it, AMERICANS are talking about it. Mission accomplished.

Mine were 520 verbal and 620 math yet I deliver packages for a living.
Romney impersonated a police officer many times as a 'prank'. He even admits to it. What a scamp!

Thanks for making the Republican's point about the economy being slow and not a lot of jobs being created - WOW! You see that through the kool-aid fog and STILL want the uber-liberals in office!! WOW WOW - You think like the leaders in Chicago and Stockton - We will have more of the same - we can't afford it and we can't pay the cops anymore so crime goes up but that's ok! us uber liberals are in power.
So far, BO has outspent Romney on ads! It's Kool-aid time - I will take Cherry please!
Bush graduated from Yale and Harvard Business School - I assume that your statement above was not meant as a joke. You have lost all credibility in your arguments with these "uninformed" statements. Where did you graduate college from?
Baba - We have seen 4 years of - lack of leadership - class warfare - war on women - appeasing our enemies - I know I need to see nothing more about the community organizer who is running for President. If BO gets 4 more years, there will be no discussion in the history books as to who led the fall of the United States of America. He will go down in history as the man who brought the country to its knees!
60% pay raise??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
it was 16% LIFER. 16%. thats a far cry from 60%.
The issue in chicago isnt about money, its about working conditions. They went on strike to protect working conditions not for more money. Be careful who you listen to, maybe your own version of Kool-aid ( fox spews and right wing talk radio ) has set you up to look like a silly man, repeating the 60% pay raise thingy...
Thanks for the laugh though.

Mitt Romney steps in it again, has to be "clarified" by his own campaign. Makes you wonder if MITT and his entire campaign staff are on different pages... Like I said in another thread, if you dont have insurance, and you have a PRE EXISTING condition, MITT ROMNEY feels that you SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET INSURANCE.
In an interview, he at first said he agrees with Obamas healthcare reform portion on pre existing conditions, then his own campaign had to come out and clarify the remark telling eveyone what Mitt Romney really meant... here it is...

A little about Mitt Romney...
A lot is being said in the media about Mitt Romney not being "likable" or that he
doesn't "relate well" to people. Frankly, we struggled to understand why.
So after much research, we have come up with a Top Ten List to explain this "unlikablility."
Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:
1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura.
Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.
2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her,
including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.
3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)
4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.
5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and
Harvard Business School...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.
6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter
-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America ?
7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church,
didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!
8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab.
But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America 's scorn.
9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that
teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.
10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans.
I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad.
Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money
made you unrelatable to Americans. My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?
*****************************************************
Personal Information:
His full Name is: Willard Mitt Romney
He was Born: March 12, 1947 and is 65 years old.
His Father: George W. Romney, former Governor of the State of Michigan
He was raised in Bloomfield Hills , Michigan
He is Married to Ann Romney since 1969; they have five children.
Education:
B. A. from Brigham Young University , J. D. and M.B.A. from Harvard University
Religion:
Mormon - The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints
Working Background:
After high school, he spent 30 months in France as a Mormon missionary.
After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously,
he passed the Michigan bar exam, but never worked as an attorney.
In 1984, he co-founded Bain Capital a private equity investment firm,
one of the largest such firms in the United States .
In 1994, he ran for Senator of Massachusetts and lost to Ted Kennedy.
He was President and CEO of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
In 2002, he was elected Governor of the State of Massachusetts where he eliminated a 1.5 billion deficit.
Some Interesting Facts about Romney:
Bain Capital, starting with one small office supply store in Massachusetts,
turned it into Staples; now over 2,000 stores employing 90,000 people.
Bain Capital also worked to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again,
with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King,
Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply and many others.
He was an unpaid volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.
He was an unpaid intern in his dad's governor's office for eight years.
He was an unpaid bishop and state president of his church for ten years.
He was an unpaid President of the Salt Lake Olympic Committee for three years.
He took no salary and was the unpaid Governor of Massachusetts for four years.
He gave his entire inheritance from his father to charity.
Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest self-made men in our country but has given more
back to its citizens in terms of money, service and time than most men.
And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income....
Just for comparison purposes, Obama (who is also a multimillion-air) gave 1% and Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%.
Mitt Romney is Trustworthy:
He will show us his high school and college transcripts.
He will show us his social security card.
He will show us his law degree.
He will show us his draft notice.
He will show us his medical records.
Mitt Romney's background, experience and trustworthiness show him to be
a great leader and an excellent citizen for President of the United States .
You may think that Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans
could have selected. At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag,
bow down to foreign powers, or practice fiscal irresponsibility.
I know he has the ability to turn around this financial debacle that the current regime has gotten
us into. We won't like all the things necessary to recover from this debt,
but someone with Romney's background can do it.
But, on the minus side, he never was a "Community Organizer",
never took drugs or smoked pot, never got drunk,
did not associate with communists or terrorists,
nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to damn the US .

It's cut and paste day at the Browncafe!
He has been married to the same woman, I'm not certain the leap to knowing he has been faithful is a step that can be documented. Like the little slam at Newt Gingrich there too regarding cancer and MS. I do find it entertaining that ONE is large, perhaps this is a nod his grandfather's polygamist family history in Mexico? Plus, never forget that his marriage is better than any other marriages, including yours -- just ask him.
3. No scandals or skeletons in his closet. (How boring is that?)
Well in 1968 Romney caused a head-on collision at Beaulac, France. Leola Anderson was killed and several others were injured. A cover-up followed. Plus there is that whole draft dodging bit too, but perhaps that isn't considered a skeleton in today's political game.
4. Can't speak in a fake, southern, "black preacher voice" when necessary.
I'm not certain what this means, but it seems a bit bigoty to me... or maybe the same folks from the collar-ad reference see Romney as being mighty-white with that reference.
5. Highly intelligent. Graduated cum laude from both Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School ...and by the way, his academic records are NOT sealed.
Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. Obama's records are not sealed now, and never have been. As an aside, when talking about sealed records, it applies to records that are normally public -- school records are not in that category. Romney was in the top 5% of his business school class which is more interesting to me than graduating cum laude, but what do I know.
6. Doesn't smoke or drink alcohol, and has never done drugs, not even in the counter-culture age when he went to college. Too square for today's America?
He's a Mormon, and those things go against the Mormon doctrine. Mitt may have been too busy protesting for the Vietnam War to dabble in smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and consuming caffeinated beverages. The upside from what I can see is that he wants to share his views with the rest of us.
7. Represents an America of "yesterday", where people believed in God, went to Church, didn't screw around, worked hard, and became a SUCCESS!
People I know are still going to places of worship, don't appear to be screwing around, work hard and are successful and they are younger than me... guess that isn't just a "yesterday" value. Plus, there were lots of unpleasant things in "yesterday-land" too, especially for women and non-WASP folks, but if going back in time is your gig, then by all means do it!
8. Has a family of five great sons....and none of them have police records or are in drug rehab. But of course, they were raised by a stay-at-home mom, and that "choice" deserves America 's scorn.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in a society where women could stay at home to raise their children? Of course we all know women don't make the same money as men when they work and it usually takes more than one salary to pay the bills. Plus, most of us aren't worth roughly $250-million dollars so the stay-at-home option is less available. The scorn is not from staying at home, but not acknowledging how fortunate they are to have had that option. Last time I checked, the Obama girls also don't have police records and aren't in rehab...
9. Oh yes.....he's a MORMON. We need to be very afraid of that very strange religion that teaches its members to be clean-living, patriotic, fiscally conservative, charitable, self-reliant, and honest.
Feel free to be whatever religion you want to be, just don't allow the Mormon church (or any other group) to overrule the Constitution and a variety of court rulings while you are doing it. Lots of comparative religion courses through my educational career -- and yes, I am still afraid of rulers -- so we can certainly chat about those aspects too. Here are a few things to look up to get you started on Mormonism: floating, underwear, heavenly father, Kolob, the plan and if you prefer your education to be somewhat fictionalized and based-in-truth try the HBO Big Love series, and there is so much more too. (Don't forget, Mitt Romney is the man who will be God...)
10. And one more point.....pundits say because of his wealth, he can't relate to ordinary Americans. I guess that's because he made that money HIMSELF.....as opposed to marrying it or inheriting it from Dad. Apparently, he didn't understand that actually working at a job and earning your own money made you un-relatable to Americans. My goodness, it's a strange world, isn't it?
Except for the part where he DID inherit his money from his father...
Top Ten Reasons To Dislike Mitt Romney:
1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.
What does this have to do with being effective at the job? I looked up the dates for the collar-ad reference and the closest I can come is Arrow Shirts and it seems those ads were most popular from 1905-1931... Plus the model in those ads, Charles Beach, was the live-in companion of the artist JC Leyendecker...but I'm sure they were just friends, oh wait, they weren't.
2. Been married to ONE woman his entire life, and has been faithful to her, including through her bouts with breast cancer and MS.1. Drop-dead, collar-ad handsome with gracious, statesmanlike aura. Looks like every central casting's #1 choice for Commander-in-Chief.

Romney and Ryan will immediately work on a tax overhaul and regulation reform to get the millions of American jobs and back to work.
Obama -elected four years ago with a terrible economy --chose to use all political strength and capital to push through Obamacare that a vast majority of American's disagree with.
No work or attention to tax reform and job creation.
Has a "Jobs Committee" that he has not met with since January.
As He stated --I am the President --but rather than showing us how he will create jobs --by working on HIS job --he does nothing but campaign, raise money and tell us how Romney is out of touch !!! ????
