D’oh! Mitt Romney part-owned company that trades with Iran

Republicans have spent the last day attacking the Obama administration after a staffer was revealed to have given paid speeches to a company which traded with Iran. They even released an attack ad on the subject — which would all be pretty embarrassing if, errr, Mitt Romney was revealed to have part-owned a company which does business with regime!

Romney’s financial disclosures reveal that, up until last May, he owned thousands of dollars of shares in Abbott Laboratories, who trade with Iran and whose CEO is a big Republican donor. The stock was the only stock he listed separately from other trusts on his tax returns.

How convenient!

    Hiya! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m
    trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this problem.
    If you have any suggestions, please share. Thanks!

    Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you’ve done a
    amazing job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely
    quick for me on Chrome. Exceptional Blog!
