Neither Obama, Romney Virtuous

Do we have a right to expect our Presidents to be paragons of integrity?  If so we’re being failed by both the presidential candidates.  Let’s look at the current ‘swiftboating’ of Romney on his tax returns.  Many have advised him to release them.  Having had the presidency as a target for some time he should have known this would be asked of him. Let’s assume Harry Reid is blowing smoke and Romney has paid taxes over the past ten years.  I expect he has.  Is he hiding something or just afraid we’ll not understand what we’ll find?  That is my guess.  I suspect we’ll find he paid the least amount allowed under law.  I suspect he’s afraid it will intensify the already already viral ‘it isn’t fair’ rant from the liberals.  I’d like to think we voters are better than that.  After all, how many of us don’t take every deduction we’re allowed?  I won’t even start on those who pay nothing and scream the loudest.  But the resistance creates an exploitable opportunity and it’s not being wasted by the Democrats. That being said, Obama has his secrets too/ Dogwalk Musings . More here. (AP photo of U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, R-Nevada)

Question: Have you ever met a politician that you could describe as truthful?
