Mitt Romney: Stop Asking Me So Many Darn Questions For Pete’s Sake

Is Mitt Romney cracking under the pressure? As the election season heats up Romney is finding himself in the crosshairs of both his friends and enemies alike. President Obama thinks the American people are entitled to know what Romney was doing at Bain Capital, and when he was doing it. Conservatives like George Will and Bill Kristol think he needs to release several years of his tax returns, and do it quickly. But Romney doesn’t believe that someone of his status should be called to account for his record.

Ask Mitt Anything

With regard to questions about Bain Capital Romney says that “It’s ridiculous and of course beneath the dignity of the presidency and of his campaign. He really needs to rein in his team and to finally take responsibility for what they’re saying.”

With regard to questions about his tax returns Romney says that “We’re putting out what is required, plus more that’s not required. Those are the two years people are going to have, and that’s all that’s necessary for people to understand something about my finances.”

Damn. He’s only running for president. Why should he be forced to suffer the indignity of defending his qualifications and experience for the job? It’s not as if the President ever had to face embarrassing inquiries into his past. Unless you count Rev. Wright, birth certificates, drug use, palling around with terrorists, and accusations of being both a godless socialist and a secret Muslim.

Republicans once mocked Obama for avoiding encounters with Fox News. They said that he could not face up to Osama Bin Laden if he couldn’t face up to Bill O’Reilly. They might want to check with Bin Laden on how that worked out (or O’Reilly, for that matter). However, the same Republicans never criticize Romney for limiting his media appearances to only Fox News. It wasn’t until the Bain controversy that he scheduled a few very brief interviews with an array of media. And even then his message was that they ought to stop asking him so many questions about things he wants to sweep under the rug.

For a cdandidate who once held town halls where he specifically invited people to “Ask Mitt Anything,” he is sure dead set against giving any answers.

One thought on “Mitt Romney: Stop Asking Me So Many Darn Questions For Pete’s Sake

  1. Not only will Romney not answer the questions being asked about his years at Bain, he is demanding an apology for the legitimate questions being asked. Why?, because they show him to be untruthful and it is embarassing to him. Too bad Mitt, your history raises questions that can’t be ignored by the MSM(of course Fox has raised no such questions) and they would be derelict in their duty if they didn’t ask these questions.
