40. It is far more likely that Romney paid no taxes and feels no shame about it

Jul 2012

than that Obama was born in Kenya within a few years of the Kenyatta uprisings.

In fact, it is from very possible to quite likely that Romney paid no taxes at least in some of those years.

It is also possible that some of his income during those years came from some of his current donors' businesses.

There are a number of other possibilities.

The Obama administration is just oozing this information, but I'm becoming more and more certain that Obama's friends know just what they are doing.
