(MANCHESTER, N.H.) -- President Obama is personally calling on Mitt Romney to release more of his tax returns.

In an interview Monday night with Manchester, N.H., ABC affiliate WMUR, Obama stressed the need for transparency when asked whether Romney’s offshore finances, including a Swiss bank account, disqualified him for office or made him unpatriotic.

“What’s important is if you are running for president is that the American people know who you are and what you’ve done and that you’re an open book. And that’s been true of every presidential candidate dating all the way back to Mitt Romney’s father,” Obama told reporter Josh McElveen.

Romney could respond by releasing his kindergarten transcript

then another year of transcripts every day for the next several weeks up through college.

And every day asking obama to do the same.

Is this a John Semmens thread?

[Venturer]

At least Mitt Romney knows who his father is.

Obama hasn’t got a clue.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Obie is delusional and Romney is just enough of a smart a$$ to make him pay.

[Josephat]

It seems like he is baiting Romney.

[M Kehoe]

I thought this was your work.

The 0bama campaign has no shame.

Barry teed one up for Mitt with this!

Let’s see how far Mitt hits it.

Shamefully I bet he doesn’t hit it at all.

..year and a half to produce a fake BC, 6 social security numbers, three aliases, a fake selective service card, can't get his lawyer's license renewed because of "irregularities", (both-along with lobster lady).... he's prepping for Apario new info on the 17th..

[dfwgator]

Well Obama is a master baiter.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I was SURE this was going to be satire.

[tsowellfan]

It's interesting that there are some who believe Obama lied about protecting the US Constitution when he took the oath, lied about Congress being in recess, lied about his school, grades, law license, his travels, his friends, his preacher, his mentors and his faith, yet some of these same people simply refuse to believe that this same man lied about his birth story and feel it's silly and a waste of time to vet him properly as John Mccain was vetted.

Obama continues to hide all of those records even when it would be a political advantage for him.

[CORedneck]

Typical busybody. One set of rules for himself and a harsher set of rules for everyone else who does not curry favor.....

[madison10]

No, Romney should reveal NOTHING unless he wants Obama to use the info for campaign fodder. Obama goes first...then maybe Romney should release his info. Cannot the Republicans learn to fight like street thugs, or at least military strategists?
It would help once in awhile.

[Tzimisce]

Open book?

Open like “Dreams of my father” and “Audacity of Hope” where you lie and make everything up?

[ncfool]

Then Obummer needs to be an open book too. Mitt needs to challenge Obummer to come clean with his records too. I think it would be best to wait to do this at a debate when Obummer doesn’t have a teleprompter to help him and then we can watch him stammer and stutter and lie his way out. He will get flustrated and blame Bush for his problems.

[Halls]

Exactly! Romney should lay it all out for Obama. Then we will all see sissy Obama still not release his numerous hidden records

[2111USMC]

You gotta be sh*ttin’ me!

Unbelievable!

[RC2]

Romney should say “OK, I’ll do what you ask. After you disclose everything about your past. Including the birth certificate, social security records, education records..........all of it.”
