I'm sure that they'll have Obama's college transcripts in their next issue.  
 

Most thorough research I've seen on any recent candidate.



Where's Obamas' background?  Book deals (ghost writers), wife's crazy jobs, etc.

They have done plenty of articles on Obama

Fair, balanced reporting. Well done.

...and we STILL don't really know anything about Owebama.  Fucking amazing

Which way did those lean?

"Obama: The Greatest President Ever, or the Greatest Head of State in World History?"

I don't read Vanity Fair so I have no idea.

I assume they are pro Obama fluff pieces

You mean the ones where they lick, suck and play with Obama's cock for a good page and a half?




EDIT: I see your response CRC, sorry.   You're probably right.





 

really?

Is he doing anything illegal? I was under the impression tax avoidance is perfectly legal.



Some left winger talking about this subject got mad at me when I told him "why would anyone want to pay more taxes?"


 

Getting your information from the pages of Vanity Fair is like looking for financial advice in a trailer park.

Romney has had his *real* money in a "blind trust" for a very, very long time... At least from when he first announced he was running for office, and more-than-likely from before that.

The "blind trust" if it is interested in making money is going to have a variety of funds that are being invested in...

Also, Gingrich and Santorum attacked Romney on the exact same logic and exact same lines...

In fact, Gingrich and Santorum took their class-warfare tactics against Romney directly from the Democrat Party playbook... And in the end, when Romney explained himself on the issue Gingrich and Santorum ended up looking stupid... Just as Obama has recently with Democrats openly defending Romney's success at Bain Capital...

Anyone who honestly tries attacking Romney on where his money is invested lacks a basic understanding of the concept of "blind trust" and/or is being purposefully disinginuous...

Romney's finances and investments were attacked ad nauseum by Gingrich and Santorum up until just literally weeks ago when they decided to concede to Romney. Every possible bad thing about Romney and his tremendous business and financial success has already been said by Gingrich and Santorum... Anything now is just trying to keep the same exact attack in the news and in the front of voters...

I say let the Democrats attack Romney on his tremendous business and financial success... It exploded in Gingrich's face when Romney explained what a "blind trust" is, explained that his money was in a blind trust, and then explained that Gingrich had *personally* invested in the same companies Gingrich was complaining that Romney had (unknowingly) invested in...

Lets say Obama chooses to attack Romney on Romney's investments in out-of-country companies... It opens the door for Romney on several levels... Obama has never personally invested in a *single* American job... And significant amounts of money from Obama's investment programs has gone to out-of-counry companies in the name of "green" programs...

Yeah, the Democrats are going to try the class-warfare tack... It excites their base. The Democrat party base likes to hear personal attacks based on class-warfare...

But in the end, with moderate and conservative voters, it failed miserably recently with Santorum and Gingrich... Their class-wafare attacks against Romney only opened the door for Romney to discuss his open-market abilities, and his success in creating wealth and jobs... And it failed miserably with Santorum and Gingrich, and it blew up in Obama's face recently when prominent Democrats defended the open-market and defended Romney... The Democrat Newark Mayor had to clarify his statements days later in saying that he still endorsed Obama... People where honestly questioning if he was switching support... That is how much he defended Romney and Bain Capital...

They are hoping people are stupid enough to believe the Democrats sound bites.

Most voters are already in the tank for either Obama or Rmoney.

I'll also wager most people do not read Vanity Fair,.

I read the article. Their complaint boils down to the fact that Romney put his money into blind trusts to avoid conflicts of interest. The trusts, are, well, blind, since it wouldn't make much sense to publish the holdings, which would create a conflict of interest they could then whine about. Other than that, they whine about cost-cutting (Bain was turning around companies and then selling them for a lot more than they paid for them, like good capitalists) and try to generate fear and loathing via innuendo.

It's a gigantic nothingburger.

Nothing the limp dick press could conjur up would make me vote for obama so they can all go blow themselves.

But it's perfectly OK to raise money from rich tax dodging expats in Switzerland.  Because Obama's doing it.
