Tangled Web Quote of the Day

"You can conduct byzantine transactions through opaque investment accounts and private corporations in offshore tax havens such as Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. Or you can credibly run for president at a time of great economic distress. I don’t think you can do both." -- Eugene Robinson, commenting in today's Kaplan Daily on Willard "Corporations Are People, My Friend" Romney's unusual offshore bank accounts and investments in exotic places. The whole article is here.

Willard refuses to release his tax returns before 2010, and has delayed releasing them for 2011 until the fall. Everything about him screams "I've got something to hide," from his policy positions, to his faith, to his financial dealings. He's the most secretive candidate for President in modern times, and maybe for good reason. That's what the public needs to find out.
