I Didn’t Even Know About That Bermuda Company!

Benjy Sarlin

Mitt Romney disavowed any responsibility for investments in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda, saying his personal finances are part of a “blind trust” that’s out of his control. Democrats have seized on reports on the holdings, about which little is known, to demand Romney release more of his tax returns and related material.

“I don’t manage them, I don’t even know where they are,” Romney told Radio Iowa Monday of his investment portfolio. “That trustee follows all U.S. laws, all taxes are paid as appropriate, all of them have been reported to the government. There’s nothing hidden there.”

Blind trusts are common among politicians. According to an Associated Press report, records show Romney transferred 12,000 shares in the Bermuda company to his wife’s blind trust the day before he was sworn in as governor in 2003, a transaction that was not publicly disclosed at the time.

Sounds good to me. Maybe after Romney's been in office a year or two, we'll all be saying the same thing about our money.

I remember Obama getting a sweet deal on his house in Chicago. Likely illegal, but Romney has done nothing illegal.

If you're NOT getting a Sweet Deal ... then why get the House ... only Amateurs pay list.

Romney said his Caribbean holdings were no different in terms of taxes than investing in, say, a foreign car company.

For the first time, President Obama on Monday personally joined Democrats in demanding Romney release his tax returns and clear up the nature of the companies in question.

“What’s important is if you are running for president is that the American people know who you are and what you’ve done and that you’re an open book,” Obama told a New Hampshire television station. “And that’s been true of every presidential candidate dating all the way back to Mitt Romney’s father.”

Tell ya what, Romney can release those records, when Obama releases his college transcripts...ut oh.....

Yet again the left is being about as hypocritical as it can get. Demanding Romney release such records from his past, all the while supporting and defending Obama who well has done the very same sort of thing.

I'm not worried about what Romney does with HIS money... I'm worried about what Obama's doing with MY money.

Ah, yes, TalkingPonsmemo. Has Cigar ever seen a TalkingPointsMemo he didn't fall for? I doubt it.

So little time, so much cut and paste. Of course, when you don't have to actually think it saves a lot of time.
