LAS VEGAS — Vice President Joe Biden denounced Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney on Tuesday as a candidate with something to hide.

Biden, campaigning for President Barack Obama in the battleground of Nevada, told Hispanic leaders that Romney doesn't live up to the openness that his father represented when he ran for president 44 years ago. The vice president said Romney's father, George Romney, released 12 years of tax returns when he unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination in 1968.

In excerpts of Biden's remarks released by the Obama campaign, Biden told the annual conference of the national Council of La Raza that Romney has released only one year of his tax returns, adding: "Making a lie of the old adage: Like father, like son."

[a fool in paradise]

Obama is reducing the US nuclear arsenal to 300 in a world with 20,000 nukes.

Someone should ask Obama where is the US’s capacity to “return fire” (even though Obama has already said he will refuse to return fire if the US receives a nuclear detonation). There WILL be future presidents after The One.

Biden? Wanting to talk about TAX RETURNS???

The same Joe Biden who lives in our house, flies around in our planes, rides in our cars, lecturing us about the subject of generosity while giving a measly 0.3% to charity according to HIS tax returns???
