With all that is and should be important to Americans – just over a hundred days before we select our president – it is baffling as to why the media is so hell-bent on holding on to the Bain Capital story involving presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has given away the money donated to his campaign by a businessman tied to a federal probe of District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray's campaign.
It turns out Romney either lied to the American public or filed an incomplete and incompetent IRS return in 2010. W.

Instead he talked about denying civil rights to a civil rights organization and spoke in condescending and paternalistic terms about being a better president for African Americans than Barack Obama. It was a clear and cynical play for white votes.
Tea Party zealots in Congress are obsessed with stripping people of their right and access to affordable care.
Obama's latest speech on tax cuts for the middle class is just a retread of his tired class warfare rhetoric and strategy.
Of all the signs leading to a defeat for President Barack Obama in the presidential election of 2012, the most glaring sign is the 8.2% unemployment rate.
Gov. Martin O'Malley is expected to attend a bill signing at the White House.
With all the communicative access to current local, national, and global information, expecting the masses to settle for media headlines and sound bites is insulting to today's technologically-aware audience.
