he is like this every day.

I have felt that what Mittens is reporting is missing a lot. It wasn't Bashir, but a Bloomberg columnist who put that out.

There is a reason this diptshit won't just out and out release his taxes.

So juicy! This needs to be out more explaining to the folks how much a person needs to have invested to make that much.

How much of his own money would he need to invest to get that return? I think about from $150 to $300 million. With $150 million based on 12 percent return to $300 million on 6 percent return of $18 million. If anyone out there has a better grasp on this please help.

And he would need to make sure he has enough in the bank for expenses.

And I can't see Romney doing so. I suspect it's closer to the billion mark than not, especially when the sharing with family is factored in.

This is a man who runs with billionaires, and I don't think a measly $250,000,000 would put him in that league.

As others in the same game at the same time were in that league. If he wasn't what the hell happened?
