The Daily Caller – Thu, Jul 19, 2012

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who has called on Mitt Romney to release additional years of his tax returns, told reporters that she will only release her own returns if she runs for president.

“I said I think he should release his tax returns. That is the custom for people running for president. And why wouldn’t you?” Pelosi said Thursday at the Capitol.

“A person has decided that they want to run for president of the United States — a tradition that was honored by this same person’s father. Now, I’m not here — this is not important to me, let me say this,” Pelosi said. “The discussion about what the Republicans and how they deal with their nominee as to whether he should release — that’s really up to them.”

Pelosi added: “If asked, do I think he should release them, fine and I said to you last week, when I run for — did — was it here or another meeting — when I run for president of the United States, you can hold me to that standard.”

House Speaker John Boehner called the issue a “sideshow” and said his own tax returns are private.

“I have never released my tax returns. That’s my private business, just like it’s your own private business,” Boehner said at the Capitol Thursday.

Boehner was then asked, “Why should the standard be different for a presidential candidate?”

“It shouldn’t be. It’s a sideshow. It’s — that’s all it is,” Boehner responded. “The American people are asking the question, where are the jobs.

They’re not asking, where are the tax returns. And it’s a sideshow created because the president can’t talk about his record. He can’t go out on run on his record, so he’s got to create these sideshows to try to distract the American people from the real issue that they’re concerned about.”

Romney has released his 2010 and 2011 returns. Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, who ran against Obama in 2008, also released two years of his tax returns.

Nancy Pelosi made between $1-5 million on Asian investments in 2011

On the heels of The Weekly Standard’s report yesterday that DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz — a vocal critic of Mitt Romney‘s investing practices, had herself dabbled in the foreign markets — we can add Nancy Pelosi to the list of prominent Democrats to profit from overseas investments.

According to Pelosi’s 2011 financial disclosure statement, the Democratic House Minority Leader received between $1 million and $5 million in partnership income from ”Matthews International Capital Management LLC,” a group that emphasizes that it has a “A Singular Focus on Investing in Asia.” A quick trip to the company website reveals a featured post extolling the virtues of outsourcing.

“Designed in California, Made in Manila” sounds like an excellent title for a smear ad to be run the by the Barack Obama campaign. Instead, it appears to be Nancy Pelosi’s investment strategy.

Pelosi is also a small investor in the embattled “Moduslink Global,” one of the “outsourcing pioneers” that Mitt Romney has been criticized for associating with while at Bain Capital.

It’s not surprising that a wealthy politician would invest globally (nor should it be considered problematic). This is interesting because of the attacks on Mitt Romney’s investments — because Obama purportedly believes in the virtues of “insourcing” and anti-globalization. (Obama appears to be running on a protectionist platform that went out of style with Canadian tuxedos)

Obama sure can preach the economic nationalism, but it doesn’t appear his fellow leaders and surrogates are buying the message.

If they aren’t, why should other Americans?

Just another diversion from the lousy economy and jobs out-look.

Have you seen how deranged the libtards are today? They'd vote her in easily....

In her heart of hearts she knows she'll never be a viable candidate for president. So, we know she is making these comments away from the smog of controversy. But crazier things have happened.
