(MAUMEE, Ohio) -- Senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod today accused Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney of being “the most secretive candidate that we’ve seen, frankly, since Richard Nixon.” He “won’t release his tax returns, won’t reveal his bundlers, left Massachusetts with the hard drives from his computer. He believes in keeping the public in the dark,” Axelrod said in an interview with ABC News Radio behind the scenes at the first stop on Obama’s campaign bus tour through Ohio. Axelrod said Romney’s portfolio of offshore investments – which include a Bermuda-based company, funds in the Cayman Islands and a Swiss bank account — raises what he called a “Bermuda Triangle” of financial questions. “Just what were the benefits there? Did he actually pay taxes in some years? We don’t know,” he said. “Why would you transfer your Bermuda business…to your wife the day before you became governor? Why did you not want that on your disclosure form?” he questioned later, referring to media reports that have scrutinized the holding. Asked directly whether he is accusing Romney of tax cheating, Axelrod said no. “The only reason to have these accounts is to shelter your taxes,” he said. “The question is, exactly what did he pay, and I think that he – there’s only one way to answer that question: if you don’t have anything to hide why not just release that information? And Gov. Romney really doesn’t have a good answer for that.” In January, Romney released his 2010 tax return amid intense public scrutiny and pressure from his GOP primary rivals. He has declined to release returns from additional years. The Romney campaign did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request for comment.

"Most people prefer to believe that their leaders are just and fair, even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which he lives is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all." Michael Rivero
How about, How about, "Frankly, Axelrod, my business affairs are none of your business. I am releasing what the law requires per my legal cousel. Now go peddle your whine somewhere else!" Apparently, they haven't been able to dig up enough dirt. LOL......
I think this is just the prelude to the 'dirt' that actually as been gathered. Too early to deploy. Stay tuned...
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
OK.
Geeze, who the hell does he think he is, a foreign exchange student from Kenya/Indonesia looking for a taco stand that serves dog?
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Am I the only one that can just look at and hear Axlerod,and see pure evil pouring out of every pore?
