The US can't afford Romney (Al Jazeera)

According to Al Jazeera, Barack Obama has not been a particularly good president...but the United States could do worse.  http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/2012/07/2012715121236211572.html
Pressure is also building for Mitt Romney to release additional tax returns. A new USA Today Gallup poll suggests that a majority of Americans (54%) think he should release more than the two years of returns he has agreed to make public. The fact that he won't do this makes me think there is something fishy or potentially explosive in them. Bill Clinton has stated that he thinks Romney should release a decade of tax returns.

Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal has written an analysis of a recent Mitt Romney campaign gaffe...in which Romney allowed himself to be photographed on a red jet ski with his wife during their July 4th vacation. Given that most of the Americans who Romney hopes will vote for him are struggling to just get by, Henninger points out, this photo is likely to rub some people the wrong way and was perhaps not the wisest thing to do in campaign year.
