At this moment MItt is pulling in more money than President Obama.  It's not about who is best qualified for the job but who can raise the most money.  And Mitt certainly has his rich friends backing him in that aspect.  What do you think MItt's rich friends will want in return?  It was the Republicans who started the SUPER PACs to begin with, not the President.  Obama has no choice but to fight fire with fire although Big Oil and Big Corporations are mostly Republican.  That leaves the middle-class,  poor, disabled, and seniors at a disadvantage again.  No one ever fights for them or writes on their behalf.  The rich hire people (Republicans)  to champion their cause.  The poor can do little but endure.

People that are supporting Romney realize that he is all that stands in the way between restoring our freedom and our economic system or going to a socialist system in which government controls everything we do. What's really is how the president is using "executive orders" to bypass congress. We can expect much more of the same if he gets re-elected.

Insurance companies making record profits, Big Oil making record profits, the 1% are getting richer by the day and all are not paying taxes.  It's not about restoring anything.  It's about money and keeping things just the way it is for the 1%.  Romney wil owe the 1% as soon as they buy him the Presidency.

  Governor Romney left Massachusetts with its economy ranked 47th  in the country, not so good. Governor Romney instituted Romneycare in Massachusetts, which is the exact same plan as Obamacare. Romney's healthcare plan covered all abortions, not just the ones necessary to save the mothers life ( Sounds Pro Choice To Me )
   In the 2008 Presidential Debate Romney said Invading Iraq was the correct thing to do, even after finding No Weapons Of Mass Destruction, he still agreed it was right to attack Iraq.  Romney received 4 deferrments to avoid the Vietnam War. He went to France with a Mormon Missionary Group supporting U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Alot of people didn't want to fight in Vietnam, but they didn't protest in favor from afar. ( Sounds Pro War To Me )
   Romney was CEO of Bain Capital and they would take over struggling American companies. Romney and Bain Capital investors would  pay themselves "Special Dividend Profits ", then they would lay off American workers and send  jobs to China. American workers would also lose their pensions and healthcare. After making millions and sending thousands of jobs to China, Romney now promises to stop China and create jobs in America, If he becomes President.
   Romney and his Bain Capital Investors also hid  their "Special Dividend Profits " in Switzerland and the Cayman Islands, so they didn't have to pay their  share of taxes,( Lost Tax Revenue For Our Economy, But More Money For Mitt ) That might explain why Romney wont show his tax returns. 
    Romney's  wife Ann says," If Mitt  releases those Tax Returns, It will only give the Democrats more to go after him with ".  Romney also refused to show his Tax Returns in 2003 when running for Governor of Mass. Romney also refused to show his tax returns when running for Senate in Mass. Do you see a pattern here ? If Romney's Tax Returns are honest, what's he afraid of ?  Romney says " You Will Have To Trust My Word ".
    Romney wants the keys to the White House and the most sensitive job in the Nation and the American people  dont have the right to know where Romney's hundreds of millions of dollars came from.  Why doesn't Romney just show the tax returns requested, like every other candidate has done ? What makes him so special ?
    Romney cant use his poor record as  Governor of  massachusetts in his campaign. He cant use his years at Bain Capital  as a Corporate Raider in his campaign, so  Mitt Romney has one thing over President Obama and that is $$$$$. Romney can also hope that the new Voter Suppression Laws will keep certain people from voting. 
    Romney currently has close to 4 times the money in Corporate donations over President Obama, so Romney will have to bombard the TV and Radio with negative ads, many  of which will be untrue, like Romney's " You Didn't Build That " campaign ad. President Obama said " You Didn't Build That Alone " Romney's ad conveniently leaves out the word "Alone" at the end.
   So get ready for more Romney Attack Ads against President Obama, because Romney's only chance is to spend all the money in attack ads that he can get from Self Interest  Corporate Billionaires and the Right Wing Republican Tea Party and hope enough voters believe their rhetoric and half truths like " You Didn't Build That ".
    Mitt Romney and Right Wing Corporate America want to buy the White House.

Those "record profits" are funding pension plans that current retrees are receiving. You seem to be fixated on the 1%. Obama's tax policies will hit much more than the 1%. A family with an income of >$250K in a high cost state like NY, CA or CT would be hit by those taxes. I repeat: I am opposed to this class warfare that obama is waging to prove himself to his socialist base. You cannot deny that his goal is the redistrribution of wealth from the productive to the unproductive.

First off your statement about the Massachusettes economy has been proven to be a lie. Each state should have the right to do what's best for its population. As far as tax returns and secrecy goes, do we know anything about obama's education?  Has anyone qiestioned how he applied to Occidental University as a foreign student named Sotero? Has Do we have information on his thesis topic? Do we know much about the many years he spent at Rev Wright's racist church? Harry Reid comes out and says someone at Bain Capital told him Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years. Has Reid opened his own tax files to the public? Bain Capital saved jobs by reorganizing Staples, Dominoes and a host of other companies. The jobs it didn't save were at companies with recalcitrant unions.

Record profits are not doing nothing for people who really need it for Medicare, and Social Security since the 1% are determined to alter and cut these programs.  It is not I nor the President who is stuck on the 1% but the people who will benefit most from their generous contributions to their campaigns that are focused on them.  The President is thinking of All the people  The Republicans are thinking of only the 1% by not taxing them and making their profits go where it will do them the most good and that is over seas and hidden.

 How does a few successful company  take overs by Romney and Bain Capital, justify sending thousands of American workers jobs to China and taking those American workers jobs, pensions and healthcare. That is so Anti- American and Greed at the highest level and you know it down deep, but wont come to grips.  I know it must be frustrating to try and justify Romney as a good candidate. You can only hope that all the money spent spreading lies and hatred against President Obama will work. After all, money is the ONLY reason Romney's there in the first place. It's amazing how freedom of speech protects Romney's campaign to spread all the lies they want to against our Commander in Chief.
   You sure have fallen for all the hate filled  rhetoric and lies that the Right Wing has spread all over our great Nation and its a shame it has come to this,  but face it, President Obama is an American born,  half black Harvard Graduate, who worked his way up and was elected our President and a fine one at that. If President Bush deserved a second term, then President Obama certainly does as well.
  Shouldn't we all grow up and stop the hatred and racism. We all need to have each others back, Republicans and Democrats  The Right Wing Republican movement is trying to tear our Nation apart, while the selfish billionaires  reap their monetary rewards, we fight each other, instead of working together to make our Nation even greater.
  Take Care, Labrat

Romney and Obama, poor guys... both supported by big banks! Both spend millions on their campaigns.Main donor TO BOTH OF THEM is Goldman Sachs.

the only candidates not bought by big  corporations are Ron Paul and others, whose names I do not even know because "our" tv shows only these two BOUGHT candidates.

Don't worry about "poor" Obama. Besides, Romney is not even a nominee yet.
but if he gets the nomination, and the election is fair, he will not win...unless the election is rigged!

Most Ron Paul supporters would not vote for Romney- some would go back to Obama.
not many Republicans even like Romney - and money will not help much.
