BOSTON (AP) - Barack Obama's re-election campaign kept up pressure against Republican rival Mitt Romney on two fronts Friday, launching a new ad defending the president's record on Medicare while challenging Romney to release at least five years of tax returns.

Obviously. I can’t make heads of tails from looking at the budget of my local school district if I am looking to see what was spent for what. Does anyone thing that Romney’s tax returns would be that easy to read?

Majority of Americans Want Romney to Release Tax Returns
Less than half think the returns would reveal harmful information
by Frank Newport
PRINCETON, NJ — A majority of Americans (54%) say Mitt Romney should release additional tax returns, while 37% say he should not, according to a USA Today/Gallup snapshot poll conducted Wednesday night. Predictably, Democrats strongly favor his releasing more tax returns, Republicans have the opposite view, and independents mirror the national tendency to favor Romney’s releasing more returns.

It could hurt him politically not to release them, that’s all.
“I presume that you’re using the term “funny” in the context of the ancient Tibetan-Hindu phrase for ...”scientifically accurate”.
Wrong. I speak plain English. I am not utilizing your exotic definition of funny.
Let’s just say you, like AP, are too humorous ... that is too funny ... and not too full of bodily fluids (from the Latin).
Really? You work for the IRS? You’ve seen his returns? You know, with absolute certainty, what charitable deductions he has claimed?
You can speculate all day long about what’s in his returns, but please don’t pretend you “know” something unless you actually do.
Look, we get it. You hate Romney.
Personally, I would find contributions to Planned Parenthood disturbing, especially for a Mormon, but I find what Obama’s doing to the country to be much worse.
You are starting to become the Joe Biden of FR.
I agree with you.
Shoot, I can’t even figure out my own tax returns. I can’t imagine the hoops he (or his accountant) would have to jump through to make sure every “i” is dotted and every “t” crossed.

LOL! Thank you. Now I have seen them all.
Ah. I’ve had 33 years of government writing. In my world double space indicates a new paragraph and a new thought.
That’s why my eyes are crossing. :-)
So you believe Mitt to be even worse than Obama on the issue of abortion, using taxpayer and church affiliated university dollars to fund birth control, et al?
Even with Illinois Obammy opposing the ending the practice of putting babies that survive a botched abortion into a hospital closet to die gasping for air for hours?
You’ll have to show me where Mitt is to the Left of the current occupant on any issues you may dredge up (abortion, homosexuality, nuclear disarmament, Islamist foreign policy...).
He’s no dream candidate but the only credible alternative this election cycle is worse in every column.
Or do you hold out a dream that Ron Paul’s supporters will cause havoc at the GOP convention and give us... who? Who is the savior of the 2012 election?
And borderline anarchists favour him telling the bloody communists to pound sand, and him not being particularly polite about it.
The blatant bullying of the thing and the shameless hypocrisy of it are repugnant
If you truly believe that Romney cheated in some way on his federal tax returns, then contact the IRS and inform them of this fact. But the IRS will want some type of evidence to support your claim, which of course you don’t have.
So ... you are a mindless jackass. Thanks for confirming it.
so deal with it ...."
Oh, I do. I scroll right on past it. Why would I read the braying of a jackass? Don't bother answering. I won't read it.
If you like those terms, please use them regularly and repeatedly.
Your USA Ptooey poll doesn’t show the breakdown of Democrats, Republicans and Independents that were polls (how many, not just percentages of each type of respondent to the questions).
54% is the “total” figure saying “yes he should” 30% are Independent. 53% are Republican. A whopping 75% are Democrat. Since 54% > 53% and >> 30%, they oversampled Democrats. But they don’t say by HOW MUCH. Now, why it comes to being “honest” what does USA Today/Gallup have to hide?
It’s not in their PDF breakdown. The margin of error in their poll is 5%. It’s been pushed to generate the result they sought.
I suppose you want the sun to revolve around the Earth, too...
Good luck getting the machine to do what you want.
So Patton, you would rather have another 4 years of Obama? Or, just maybe you are an Obama plant on FR.
