This is what Greg Palast calls "vulture capitalism".

Yes, "Vulture capitalism" on welfare!

Wish that Obama would bring this up in the next debate.

And the (possibly?) best explanation for why Romney is willing to risk the huge PR problem from not disclosing tax returns?

The disclosure must be concealing something that would be even worse PR.

Here is one possibility. I wish someone would ask him directly about it.

Romney is getting by amazingly easy on his business past. The MSM fix is in. It reminds me of the coverage of Bush's race to war in Iraq.

At least there is a source for information on his tax plan:

Yeah they are totally swinging for Romney.

Do you think a Canadian politician would get away with saying he was not responsible for a company's actions when he was signing official documents as the owner, chairman and CEO.

Jts... if a Canuck PM can get away with taking an envelope stuffed with cash from a German lobbyist in a hotel room in a 50M dollar scam... ? Well, you may as well go golfing on - cue The Price Is Right announcer - your NEW GOLF COURSE!

I note the date on that is August 29th.

What's going on that this hasn't been hung round Romney's neck every place he appears?

That story and many others get no traction other than the initial reports. "Fact checkers" let Romney get away with things like saying he balanced the budget for the Salt Lake City Olympics without mentioning the 1.6 billion dollar FEDERAL GOVERNMENT bailout.

He is selling us a puffed up resume and totally getting away with it.

How so? Are they in Romney's employ?

One would think that they are not. Like I said, it is like the lead up to the Iraq war. Reporters, editors, news organizations have made up their minds on Romney's resume and refuse to open themselves to new data.

One would think that someone who drones on about the evil of bailouts would get a certain level of reporting about taking advantage of bailouts.

Not in his employ, but so cowed by FOX and Limbaugh, etc. into fear of being labelled "biased" that they have to make it look like both candidates are equally dishonest. So, if they don't have something equally huge on Obama, they won't try to pin it on Romney.
