by Jed Lewison
ABC News reports that Mitt Romney's Olympic archival records remain sealedor, more precisely, those records that haven't already been destroyed remain sealed:
Romney had promised to be transparent:
But despite his pledge, he didn't deliver:
Apparently, Romney's operation never sent archivists any of that information. And now, they say, it has almost certainly been destroyed.

(4,751 posts)It's common knowledge here on DU, but I don't see this information being used by the Obama campaign so far (unless I've missed something). In combination with the tax return stonewalling, the Bain fudging, and now this revelation about the Olympics records, it should help confirm the perception that there's something shady about Mitt.

The more Romney hides, the more frightening he becomes as a candidate. So we are to be judging him by his Bain experience, but we can't know the details of WHEN he was actually there, or what he did? Or how many Americans were put out of work as he and his friends borrowed hundreds of millions from the companies, then sold them for scrap? And we're supposed to be impressed by his honesty, but he reveals nothing?
The GOp has managed to choose the absolutely most unelectable POS in history, all because the rest of the field was an even more unsuitable choice. THIS THIS is what happens when MONEY chooses your candidates for you. There were probably some decent republicans out there at the beginning of the primary, but the BIG MONEY who want something for their support, prevailed and you ended up with people like Santorum, and Gingrich, and of course Romney. This is what happens when the voters don't really get to choose. you get absolute garbage for a candidate.
So far, the only defense I see online from the usual angry-old-white-men, is that Romney doesn't have to release them because Obama hasn't released his 1) college transcripts or 2) his real birth certificate (both false arguments.) And.. that the "libruls" are trying to ruin Romney because they are afraid that voters will see what an amazing American Business man he is, and how he's done all these amazing things for American workers and companies, and created all these jobs. Okay, did see some tea party woman on a friend's FB page who referred to Obama as the REAL outsourcer. So basically, they got nothing. Their candidate sucks.
