Who will protect Medicare? (If you guessed “Mitt Romney,” you’ll have to learn to live with disappointment.)

Let me preface this video by stating that here is nothing that I can come up with here that will do this video justice, it is 5 minutes and 17 seconds of genius. You’ll simply have to watch it for all of the brief remarks.
In the video, Rep. Luis Gutierez (D-Ill) takes “on the GOP and Mitt Romney’s characterization of Arizona’s onerous anti-immigration policies as a ‘model’ the U.S. should follow.” From the HuffPost,
And with this, the Congressman is off to the races, counting exactly how Arizona’s law is a terrible model for the rest of the country:
- “One, if you’re a politician, Arizona’s law is a model for how to achieve early retirement.”
- “Two, if you want to wreck your local economy, Arizona’s law is a model for lost jobs and tax revenue.”
- “Three, Arizona’s law is a model for how to energize Latino voters.”
- “Four — and I’ll stop at four because my time in limited — Arizona’s law is a model on how to make decent people suffer.”
Rep. Luis Gutierrez began his speech by stating well-known Latino demographics (the number one way to scare politicians) and then stating, “that’s a lot of people to keep track of, especially if you want to offend each and every one of them.” Can you feel the burn? I can. I hope it’s not a rash.

“That’s the motherfucking understatement of the fucking year,” said Mitt Romney, before adding, “God damn it, Michigan.”

Oh, this makes all the hours I put in feel worth it…

NY TIMES: "Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, made $27 million in 2010. They held millions of dollars in a Swiss bank account and millions more in partnerships in the Cayman Islands. His family’s trusts sold thousands of shares in Goldman Sachs that were offered to favored clients when the storied investment house first went public. The couple’s effective federal tax rate for the year worked out to 13.9 percent, a rate typical of households earning about $80,000 a year. Yet the hundreds of pages of tax documents released by Mr. Romney’s campaign on Tuesday morning did not readily reveal any elaborate financial legerdemain or exotic tax shelters. What Mr. Romney’s returns illustrated, instead, was the array of perfectly ordinary ways in which the United States tax code confers advantages on the rich, allowing Mr. Romney to amass wealth under rules very different from those faced by most Americans who take home a paycheck."
