Mitt Romney failed to list 26 accounts on his public
disclosure when he filed for the Presidency, accounts that were included on his
2010 tax return.
COMMENTS:
Romney has claimed he was unaware of those accounts, but
evidence reflects the contrary and this issue is causing a new thorn in his
side in Florida. And he has tried to
deflect questions on the subject by suggesting that we should pay attention to
today’s issues and not the financial history of political candidates. The real question here is why is he hiding
his money in foreign banks? What games
are he playing? Honest and patriotic
Americans with money would, you might think, keep their money invested in the
American banking system. Now, that’s a
point to ponder.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I am so sick and tired of calls from the Republican politicians,
the National Republican Party, the National Republican Congressional Committee…
you name it. For one thing, the damned
Republicans have done a horrible disservice to this country, even after the
2010 elections; why should I give a dime to them until the change their
ways? I’ve asked them to quit calling,
but the phone calls are incessant. What
can I do? (Magdalena ~ Vancouver, WA)
A. Tell them you give all of your money to Newt. They’ll get angry and hang up.
Q. I have heard
people say that, if Obama gets reelected there will be anarchy in this
country. What’s your opinion? (Travis ~ Sacramento, CA)
A. I’m not buying all
of these guns just because I like to spend money.
Q. With all of the political noise and the noise coming from
North Korea and Iran, we haven’t a word about how things are going in
Iraq. Why? (Anita ~ Reno, NV)
A. Obama doesn’t want you to know what is going on there,
because you may not vote for him. But,
here are the facts: Barely a month after
we totally pulled out, the violence there is so bad that the country is on the
verge of anarchy. The Sunni and Shiite factions
are almost openly bombing each other. These
enemies share power in the Iraqi government, which has now come to a virtual
impotent standstill. Things are
definitely not looking good and, in fact, another Hussein could be looming in
Iran’s future.
