Is Romney really such a brilliant businessman?

And, is the discussion about the property tax relief that Romney received on his new, La Jolla house missing the point?

My neighbor and I knew that the housing market was drastically inflated.

Didn't take much for us to figure out that housing prices on our street had risen astronomically while wages were stagnant.

If we could figure out that the housing market in the early to mid 2000s was way over priced, why didn't that self-proclaimed financial and investment genius, Mitt Romney figure out that it was no time to buy a house?

This really puts a huge crack in Mitt Romney's facade of financial and business expertise in my opinion.

The guy is a phony. That's why he doesn't want to release his tax returns. He is a liar and a phony. I bet he took enormous losses on business investments in some of the ten years in which he paid no taxes.

His campaign is based on quicksand. And I hope it sinks right after the Republican convention.

Romney is an embarrassment to our democracy. He makes voting into a joke.

Think of it. If Romney ran the country the way he runs his housing investments, he would overspend, get taken at every turn and drive us further into bankruptcy.

Guys, I'm sticking with Obama. He is a good financial manager. What about you?
