A senior House Democrat on Wednesday promised to introduce legislation requiring all presidential candidates to release a decade of their tax returns. The effort by Rep. Sandy Levin (Mich.), the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, is aimed at presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who has come under increasing pressure to release more of his returns. “The stunning lack of transparency from someone in pursuit of the highest office in the country highlights the need to change the law to require fuller disclosure,” Levin said in a statement.

“The stunning lack of transparency from someone in pursuit of the highest office in the country highlights the need to change the law to require fuller disclosure,” Levin said in a statement.”
Lets start with the lack of transparency with the buffoon who now occupies the White House and goes by the name of Obama. Once he opens up his past records then we can talk.
Maybe the Pubbies should offer an amendment that all candidates must prove they meet the eligibility requirements for office (such as being a natural born citizen, for example).
Does the bill exempt Obama?
They don’t really want it to pass. If republicans force the issue, the democrats will back down.
Not to mention that its just more time wasting legislation.
Of course. Otherwise it would be Ex Post Facto and you know how much the Libs respect the Constitution.
Tack on the requirement that presidential candidates must also prove with a non-fraudulent, official birth certicate, that they are a natural born U.S. citizen and this thing would be thrown in the “circular file” faster than Barry headed off to a celebrity fundraiser.
Of course. Otherwise it would be Ex Post Facto and you know how much the Libs respect the Constitution.
Just amend it to require them to release their birth certificate and their college records too.
I say full disclosure is good for everyone involved.
Call me silly, but I feel safer when congress is wasting time.

Fine with me—let’s also include social security cards and selective service registration. Might also want to check on reason for loss of lawyer’s license and shady real estate deals. Also any felonies—such as use and distribution to friends of cocaine.
Bring it on!!!
Just amend it to require them to release their birth certificate and their college records too. And allow public examination of the original records.

We’ll find out that Obama made a lot of money through Bain and probably has ties to other Mormon interests. And we’ll find out that the Kenyan was never eligible in the first place.

OMG these people are shameless. NOW they apparently are trying to say the laws were unclear for vetting Obama, and that’s the fault of the old dead white guys that wrote the Constitution of course.
All of a sudden DAJ (Day after Joe) we see something that looks like a setup for a defense of the Democrat Congress for not vetting their candidate properly.
“Change the law” being code for existing law being unclear.
Yes, the form Pelousi signed did NOT certify 0dumbo as elgigible. That should be included.
This is yet another oppportunity for ABO to win some points.
They’re just so clever, aren’t they? So thoughtful.

You can get away with this kind of outrage when you own the MSM 100%. That's why it's called the "state-owned media."
