On the other hand…..

Poll Watch: Mtt Romney Should Release More Tax Returns
According to the latest Gallup Poll.A majority of Americans (54%) say Mitt Romney should release additional tax returns, while 37% say he should not, according to a USA Today/Gallup snapshot poll conducted Wednesday night. Predictably, Democrats strongly favor his releasing more tax returns, Republicans have the opposite view, and independents mirror the national tendency to favor Romney’s releasing more returns.
I am not too distressed that Romney has not released all of his tax returns.
We know he is very wealthy and like everyone has minimized his tax burden.
I am more concerned about the issues and what he plans to do his first few months in office – as everyone should.
This is a non-issue that President Obama is using to distract voter’s attention away from the abysmal job he has done during his term.
So, I do not think Romney will capitulate and will choose to ride out the flap.

Video: President Obama You Are Killing Us Out There
In this hard-hitting Romney campaign video, the GOP Presidential contender asks the question:- Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy.
- But President Obama’s comments last week show that he just doesn’t understand who the real job creators are.
- How can he help small businesses when he doesn’t even recognize their value?
The Obama campaign may find the Roanoke comments, which were done off-teleprompter, the Waterloo of the President’s re-election campaign.
Here is the video, embedded below:

Day By Day July 19, 2012 – Frankenstein
Chirs, I bet Democratic POLS all across America wish those Obama Roanoke comments on business enterprise were NOT alive.Unscripted, non-teleprompter remarks by the President are probably NOT in Obama’s best interests and reveal the “monster” within.
But, the unscripted Obama genie is now out of the bottle which should make for an interesting campaign.

Mitt Romney Pushes Back Against Obama Insults to Small Business Owners
Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney gestures during a campaign event at Horizontal Wireline Services on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 in Irwin, Pennsylvania
Mitt Romney is starting to show some fight and is striking back at what some in the media are calling President Obama’s Roanoke gaffe.
In an attempt to change the subject from his tax returns and his tenure at the helm of Bain Capital, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney intensified his own rhetoric on Tuesday and called President Obama’s recent comments about small business “insulting to every entrepreneur, every innovator in America.”
Romney was referring to Obama’s remark on Friday at a campaign event in Roanoke, Va., where he argued that successful businesses happened not only because of individual achievement, but because people utilized parts of the public system, such as teachers, the Internet, and roads and bridges. Obama said, “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
While agreeing that government-paid employees and infrastructure are needed, Romney said that those services were not responsible for the success of new business.
“The taxpayers pay for government,” Romney said to applause from a fired-up crowd of several hundred people at a gas and oil equipment company. “It’s not like government just provides those to all of us and we say, ‘Oh thank you, Government, for doing those things.’ No, in fact we pay for them and we benefit from them and we appreciate the work that they do and the sacrifices that are done by people who work in government. But they did not build this business.”
Romney broadened his argument to suggest that Obama’s logic demeaned those who were trying to better themselves.
“People who reach to try and bring themselves up, the president would say, ‘Well you didn’t do that,’ ” Romney said. “You couldn’t have gotten to school without the roads the government built for you, and you couldn’t have gone to school without teachers, so you’re not responsible for that success.’ Look, President Obama attacks success and therefore under President Obama we have less success, and I will change that.”
I am positive that Romney’s political shop has told him to show some heat and some passion. President Obama threw open an opportunity and Romney is taking it.
Many conservatives are saying, it is about time.

Day By Day July 18, 2012 – Real Change
Chris, that is what Obama’s Chicago campaign gets for allowing the President to speak “off teleprompter.”More “Joe the Plumber” moments will be coming and maybe the media will actually cover the President and his position on the issues.
Now, this will be REAL CHANGE.

Crony Capitalism With Barack Obama and Steve Westly
Remember Steve Westly is a long-time California Democratic POL who once ran for Governor.
Looks like Westly made a pretty good crony capitalism deal with President Obama. I mean ten to one is pretty good.
No?

Day By Day July 17, 2012 – Garden Variety Americans
Chris, there are strategic problems with Obama being the “Divider in Chief.”All of his constituent groups must NOT be conflicted and MUST show up on election day.
This may indeed be a “tall” order.
