In an interview with ABC News many days ago, Romney wasn't sure if he had ever paid a tax rate lower than 13.9%. He said he would check and get back to them.
JERUSALEM Mitt Romney could not say today whether he had ever paid a tax rate lower than 13.9 percent, saying he would have to go back and check.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News David Muir to air tonight on World News, Romney was asked if there has ever been a year when he paid less than 13.9 percent, the rate he paid in 2010.
I havent calculated that, said Romney. Im happy to go back and look, but my view is Ive paid all the taxes required by law.

Did Romney ever get back to ABC News? We'll be coming up on two weeks very soon. How long does it take to check? Turbo Tax calculates my tax rate for me and I see it right there on my tax return.
Why is it taking Romney so long?

Because our media sucks ass, that's why...

So I don't expect anything.

This is a total slap in the face to them. It was a simple yes or no question posed by ABC News and rMoney can't even answer it.
This guy is a JOKE.

Has Romney said anything definite about ANYTHING during this campaign?
