3 Chics will let the President speak for himself.
Stephanie Cutter having the President’s BACK 100%
It’s up to the VOTERS here. Romney, who lies, distorts, and hides his record at Bain Capital, as Governor of Massachusetts, his tax returns, offshore tax havens, and now his 2002 Olympics record.
WHAT’S MITT ROMNEY HIDING? WHY ALL THE SECRECY? HOW DOES ONE RUN FOR POTUS AND IS ABLE TO DESTROY AND HIDE HIS RECORDS, SO THAT HE CANNOT BE QUESTIONED OR CHALLENGED?
Good ole Joe got handouts

Obama attacks on taxes and Bain hit Romney ratings
By Gabriel Debenedetti
WASHINGTON | Tue Jul 24, 2012 1:02am EDT
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Sustained attacks by President Barack Obama’s campaign on Republican rival Mitt Romney’s business history and refusal to release more tax records appear to be working, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Tuesday.
More than a third of voters who are registered to a party or as an independent said in the online survey that what they had heard about Romney’s taxes and his time at Bain Capital private equity firm had given them a less favorable impression of the Republican candidate.

What the war over `didn’t build that’ is really about
By Greg Sargent
Dems are circulating video of Obama, at a fundraiser last night, offering his most extensive pushback yet against Mitt Romney’s false claim that the President said business owners didn’t build their own businesses:
In the speech, Obama reiterates his belief that individual initiative is what powers business success, but says that’s not imcompatible with also recognizing that a smoothly functioning society partly enabled by government is also a necessary ingredient. And Obama again reiterates his belief that government investment is the best way to secure the middle class’ future.
This sentiment is virtually identical to the supposedly controversial speech Obama gave that included the “don’t build that” quote. And this again gets at the larger falsehood that lurks underneath the lie that Obama “demeaned success.”
Ultimately, what this disagreement is really about is over how jobs are created and what steps should be taken to end the unemployment crisis. Obama thinks that the way to speed the recovery, and to secure our economic future, is with public investments in infrastructure that create jobs in the short term and create more demand for businesses; public investments in education to increase opportunity; and long term deficit reduction that combines less radical cuts to entitlements with tax increases on the wealthiest among us.
Mitt Romney doesn’t believe in short term government investment to create jobs. His policies are geared towards long term growth, and include still more tax cuts for the rich and (as a result) entitlement reform along the lines of Paul Ryan’s plan. Romney says the best way to speed the recovery is to “get government out of the way,” unshackle the potential of the free market, put someone in charge who (unlike Obama) values individual initiative and wants people to succeed, and allow “economic freedom” to power the recovery.
