I doubt they put any such thought behind it. It’s more likely that her return was prepared by Timothy Franz Geithner, or another Obama Administration incompetent. Actually they’re using the same old leftist stragegy — Lie Big, Lie First, and Repeat the Lie, Repeat the Lie, Repeat the Lie, and eventually people will believe it.
Meanwhile, Obama jumped through every possible loophole he could without risking an audit. The effective rate mentioned on the Obamas return, which is public information, is clearly taken directly from the return (I checked) — total tax divided by adjusted gross income, so I’m taking the lie at its bald-faced value.
Actually they’re using the same old leftist “strategy” — Lie Big, Lie First, and Repeat the Lie, Repeat the Lie, Repeat the Lie, and eventually people will believe it.
