The headline story on Fox News now is “Romney Answers The Tax Question.”<\/em> What Fox regards as an answer is curious. The article reports<\/a> that Romney is remaining obstinate following “months of calls for him to release his returns, including from some top Republicans,”<\/em> so apparently the answer is “Go F@$k Yourself.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Fox characterized Romney’s remarks as “his most expansive answer yet,”<\/em> but Romney merely claimed, without offering any proof, that he has “never paid less than 13 percent”<\/em> in taxes over the last 10 years. He promised to provide evidence of that to ABC News in an interview a couple of weeks ago, but has still not kept that promise.<\/p>\n

Romney also held a Glenn Beck-like seminar, complete with a white board, to attempt to explain his position on Medicare. It was a typically substanceless waste of time wherein Romney simply wrote down that he was good and that Obama was bad. I’m glad he cleared that up because otherwise I might not have known where he stood.<\/p>\n

I thought I’d have a bit of fun with Romney’s white board:<\/p>\n

And if you’d like to play along at home, here is a blank white board that you can use to create your own Romney White Board memes. Be sure to let me know if you post these on Facebook or elsewhere so I can link to them.<\/p>\n
