It's policy and personal: Romney hammered on taxes | Political Headlines | Comcast
Democrats are growing increasingly confident that a two-pronged tax attack on Republican Mitt Romney one part policy, one part personal will help President Barack Obama lure pivotal support from middle class voters.
Led by Obama, the Democrats are going after Romney for seeking to protect tax cuts for the wealthy and for refusing to release more information on the taxes he pays on his personal fortune.
Democrats say both public and private polls suggest the double-barreled focus on taxes is giving Obama an edge in the race. The strategy also gives the president an avenue to campaign on the economy the top issue for voters while steering clear of talking about the nation's high unemployment.
Three months before the election, national polls show Obama with a slight lead. And Romney will spend the coming weeks starting Saturday with a bus tour trying to change the trajectory of the race. In recent days, he's gone on the offensive by criticizing Obama on welfare, making his own play for middle class voters, after months of taking heat from Democrats.
Republicans reject the notion that Romney's $5 trillion tax cut proposal could hurt him in the fall. But some party operatives acknowledge that he is being damaged by declining to release more than two years of his own tax returns.
Obama is starting to worry,looks like a savage ,shit any fuck stick can borrow and spend and thats all he has done for the last 3.5 years....
