Mitt Romney joins Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein when it comes to pointing the finger at an obvious possible source for the White House security leaks: White House personnel.
"I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their [own] ranks" Feinstein said on Monday.
Romney agrees and plans to say as much publicly on Tuesday afternoon, when the presidential hopeful speaks to Veterans of Foreign Wars. And he isn't going to dilly dally with dainty language either or tip toe around the topic, according to Fox News.
The election 2012 candidate is going to insist that the leaker of highly sensitive national security information be exposed to the taxpaying public rather than be allowed to hide behind White House curtains.
He also is calling for the guilty party's dismissal and demanding that a punishment be exacted. As he should, and as every American should, actually; no one should be able to disclose security information about America.
That's doubly true for anyone that works in the government—and most importantly those who work in the White House, where a top Democrat as well as Mitt Romney thinks someone may have loose lips at the highest level of government.

Or, "take care of the country and your reelection will take care of itself."
The wisdom of this was missed by the President's handlers, who also misjudged the savvy of the independent voters. Why else would they have bombarded them with dumbed down TV ads?
Somebody should have told them that these folks are sitting on the fence for a reason, and it is not a lack of foresight.
Indeed, it takes more foresight to figure out things yourself than to merely follow one herd or the other. And deciding the things you care about does take time.
Yet, independent voters also need help. Though they do not blame the President for all of the country's problems, or expect him to solve them overnight, they do expect him to stay on the task day by day.
Yes, honest effort is what they want, but they are not seeing it lately. Perhaps this is because the President's handlers are too worried about losing their jobs to let him do his. But he is the President and he should get them all out of his way to focus on running our country.
Besides, keeping his nose on the grindstone might be the best way to convince the independents that he should get more time to finish out the job.
