The Obama campaign is escalating its call for Mitt Romney to release old tax returns by using the likely Republican nominee’s father to make its point.
“Mitt Romney’s own father [George Romney] released 12 years of tax returns when he ran for president” in 1968, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said Monday during a conference call with reporters.
Romney in January released his 2010 tax return and a 2011 estimate, which showed he paid an effective tax rate of 14 percent on $45 million in total income over those two years. The returns also revealed a recently closed Swiss bank account and financial holdings in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda.
Romney has thus far refused to make earlier returns public. Presidential candidates are not obligated to release their tax returns, but the Obama campaign has argued that Romney should follow the precedent set by his father and others.
“Our message to Mitt is simple,” Messina said. “If you don’t have anything to hide, release your taxes just like every other candidate for president does.”

Sure Barrak, just as soon as you release all your
informantion...
Romney should say sure right after the GSA releases the rest of the tapes of his administration partying in Vegas using OUR MONEY at the tune of a million bucks! And as soon as his justice dept. releases the documents from Fast & Furious!
Has Mr 0b0tt0 released his tax forms from his daze at the Illuminati Ice Cream Parlor?
Romney should present Barack with a framed copy of Romney’s birth certificate. He needs to play hardball with Barry since Barry and his cohorts think they are so damn smart (and arrogant!).
Has Obama released 12 years of his records including his real estate deal with Tony rezko?

The question is, does Romney have the balls to respond by demanding that Ubama release all of his college transcripts?
Or is Romney going to run “an honorable campaign” like that loser McCain?
He should call for the President to pen his college records so as to put the matter to rest before the campaign, so as not to distract from the important issues. But my guess is that, even leaving aside the citizenship, he won’t do it because it would reveal he was not an outstanding student. After Kennedy became president there was this effort to convince us he was a ‘brain.” He was not.
Mitt doesn't have the balls to demand the release of these records. And I think that even Newt would probably shy away from demanding the release of these records from 0dumb0Sh_t.
mitt to zero: I’ll see your return and raise you one birth cert and one college transcript
the people didn’t want to stand up for newt. there is no reason for him to stand up for them. he knows he would end up standing alone.
Just like everything else, Milt will fold and release his families tax records for the last 6 decades. He is too incompetent to turn this around on the Regime.
Not only does Romney have the balls to respond, he possesses the wit to make a very intimidating counter argument. He demonstrated that in his debates with Shannon O'Brien when he ran for Governor. Believe me, he knows how to throw it back. But to an astute observer, therein lies the problem because although he seems willing and able to aggressively defend himself from a woman, he doesn't seem to be able to do the same when he finds himself in a confrontation with a man. In such a situation his behavior seems awkward at best, and this was aptly demonstrated with his now famous ten thousand dollar bet, and previously with his bizarre behavior during his radio interview, that was video taped. It's almost as if he was completely isolated during his youth and never experienced what any normal boy does in the schoolyard. I doubt he's ever gotten into a fistfight in his life. That's probably why he comes across as plastic to most other guys. There's something missing in him. A shared experience that just isn't there, and charm alone just isn't enough to carry him over the line this time.
Somebody like Barack Obama can smell this kind of person a mile away, and if Romney wants the Presidency, he better smarten up and fight like man, or Obama is going to walk all over him.
Romney and Obama will be having an old fashion WWI style trench warfare.
And then there is this horse....
Do we even know for sure the little scumbag Ubama graduated from anywhere? As an affirmative action, dope-using, college partier, he was likely coddled and "socially promoted" through the colleges he claims he attended, but has does anybody actually know for sure he graduated?
The INELIGIBLE Mexican Romney CANNOT Respond.
Just like ObamaCARE.
The GOP is doomed, deservedly.
It's going to be a bitter taste, pulling that lever for Romney, but I can't in good conscience hand over another four years to the Marxist in the White House. I have to put my country before my pride. That's just how I see it. It may suck but, others have sacrificed much more...
