“Given the challenges that America faces — 23 million people out of work, Iran about to become nuclear, one out of six Americans in poverty, — the fascination with the taxes I paid I find to be very small-minded compared to the broad issues we face,” Romney told reporters gathered for a press conference at the Greer airport in South Carolina, where Romney had just arrived to attend a fundraiser.

“I did go back and look at my taxes, and, over the past 10 years, I never paid less than 13 percent,” he said, later adding: “Every year, I paid at least 13 percent, and if you add in, in addition, the amount that goes to charity, the number gets well above 20 percent.”

  1. Have you noticed that Obama has an Captain Ahab-like obsession with Romney’s Tax Returns?

    “The white whale tasks me; he heaps me. Yet he is but a mask. ‘Tis the thing behind the mask I chiefly hate; the malignant thing that has plagued mankind since time began; the thing that maws and mutilates our race, not killing us outright but letting us live on….” Captain Ahab – Moby Dick

    Mitt Romney is Obama’s “White Whale” but its the thing (capitalism) behind the mask he chiefly hates.

    Have you also noticed that Ahab Hussein Obama has a pathological and sometimes bizarre obsession with completing his mission, no matter how harmful it will be just like Captain Ahab did.

    I’ll follow him around the Horn, and around the Norway maelstrom, and around perdition’s flames before I give him up. Captain Ahab – Moby Dick

    Obama said “I’d Rather Be A Really Good One-Term President Than A Mediocre Two- Term President”. If this is good I’d hate to piss him off! I mean he could do a lot of damage if he knew he was being tossed out!

    and that Obama won’t back down.
    “I don’t give reasons. I give orders!” Captain Ahab – Moby Dick

    This is the worst characteristic in Ahab Hussein Obama’s psychological profile. Obama is just as inflexible as Captain Ahab. The only difference is that President Ahab Hussein Obama’s loyal crew loves him like a GOD and Captain Ahab didn’t have that luxury.

    This is just a small sample of Obama’s Obsessive Ahab-istic Tendencies.
    Captain Ahab Hussein Obama would gladly see the ship sink if he can’t get his whale.

  2. Mormons give apx. 10% of their income to the church. Thats what this is really all about. Liberals do not like Tax Deductions given to Churches or to Christian Charities when that money could be spent on Abortions or on the Holy Liberal Welfare State (that pays for Abortions).

    Abortion is the Holy Sacrament of the Church of Liberalism and its been that way ever since the days of BAAL when babies were fed live (burned) to the Liberal God Moloch. Christians and Mormons do not believe in Child Sacrifice.
