Hello:

I bet you are a Bain'er too . But yes ,he should release more tax returns... then the Obots can point fingers and accuse him of being rich.
Hello tom:
Bain'er sounds too much like Boehner, so I AIN'T one of them. But, yeah. They can accuse him of being rich. But, since he's not denying it, they'll be out of gas... Or will they??
What Romney is worried about is that in SOME of those years, like GE before him, he paid NO taxes at all. Oh, I'm sure he did so LEGALLY, but it's not going to look good to the average American. How did George Will put it? He said it would be impolitic of Romney to have avoided taxes, and he's IN the politics business.
The overriding issue is that he MUST have known this was going to come up.. It did during his run for governor.. It came up during the primary's. But, his campaign looks flatfooted. They're STILL dancing around even after people like Bill Crystal said he should release them.. And, he's Going to release them. Until he does, he's taking a BIG hit.
How well can he manage the country if he can't manage his campaign?

Nothing NEEDS to come out about Romney because all of Obama's secrecy hasn't been important to lefties the last 3.5 years.
Yes he is a clumsy campaigner . We already have a supurb campaigner running the country . Yeah that worked out for us .
I'll take a guy who is a fixer.. Who gave up a couple years from a very lucrative business to manage a crisis like the Olympics and salvaged it from the disaster it was destined to become without his intervention.
Btw . If the President is going to wallow in the mud then Romney has proven himself more than capable of playing that game too.
Yes ,as Bill Kristol said ;Romney should release them ;take a temporary hit ;and move on. It will not be an issue in the fall if he deals with it now .
So you are saying the country needs a manager but the problem isn't people managing it is obstruction
Romney is a rich guy who wants to be richer in a broke country. He is good at signing his name, and that's all Grover and the boys want. That's why he can't release any more info, because for one its none of you middle class poor peoples business. Its legal, and you wouldn't understand it any way you morons.
How dare you question a white man of means and breeding with your petty concerns. We should just do what he says and pay him, and be grateful such a busy man would save us from the great unwashed, and our own idiosy.
Hail Mitt. The masses you would rule are obviously ignorant of your great benevolence! Ungrateful b@stards!! They don't know who you are and how dare they question their bettors!
Just don't look up while he pees on your head.
We have had a President for 3 1/2 years ;and all you know about him is what he chose to reveal in his ghost written auto-biographies ;and a doctors note telling us he was in good health.
So you should stop the pretense of caring about the past of our Presidents when you voted for someone who's only claim to fame was a clever slogan.
Tell you what. Romney should reveal 1 years tax filing for every year Obama unseals his Illinois State Senate files .How about 1 years file for any of the following :
University of Chicago Law School scholarly articles
Harvard Law Review articles
Harvard Law School records
Columbia University records
Columbia University senior thesis
Occidental College records
All college financial aid received
Such sour gripes and so far from the election, what can we expect to hear as the great day approaches. Ding Dong the King is dead, all hail the King, or was that the witch, I forget which
I just have to laugh at anyone whining about Romney being a rich guy (wanting to be richer no less) after Lurch - the guy who parked his yacht in RI to avoid taxes on it - was their nominee just few years back.
It's also odd that WaPo managed to 'obtain' GWB's college transcripts but no one can 'obtain' anything from Obama's past other than his "choom gang" legacy.
Well there's another big fat lie.
Obama has released 11 years of tax returns.
Did I write that he didn't release his taxes ? No . See my follow up replies . The truth is that the American people still don't know jack about the President's past beyond what he chooses to reveal to the compliant dinosaur media. The people of America voted for him on a vague promise of change and transformation . Well yeah he delivered . But just like the word "progress" ;not all progress or change is good .
No, you wrote
which is a lie. Not sure why you are backpedalling now, are you saying two different things then? This thread is about releasing tax returns. You're all over the map. You say the american only know those two things then you admit that they know all about his financials since you admit he released 11 years of tax returns. Which is it?Quote:

He had no public record to speak of before elected .But he has one now ,and it is a record of arrogant incompetence. We may not know the Obama that was... but we are well aware of the President Obama that is... and what he is ;is a failure... He can't seal that record.
NK, clearly you're having comprehension issues.
Romulan! I like it. His taxes means nothing.. All they show is that Obama is someone who thinks government should do charity so that cheap people don't have to .
I'm talking about real disclosure so we can get to see the heart and soul of the most opaque President we have had in my lifetime.
Clearly NK isn't going for the right wing BS, and neither are SOME Americans. When righties talk of Americans they would have you believe that everyone agrees with them, and they are always correct, and have no problem dismissing anything that goes against their own thinking.
The people spoke before, and see that despite the noise on the right, they are not so willing to just dump this president for some rich guy they have nothing to judge him by. For sure repubs love to sit on the sideline, booing yet refuse to get in the game because they know they are wrong because they lie to cover the true facts about the economy, the state of the country, and their own obstruction in their quest to allow the lying job creators to extract more wealth and protect them from the boogy man.
They cannot, and will not,answer the real questions of why fellow right wing conservatives are calling for Romney to release more tax information.
Both sides agree he got some 'splaining to do. It's a big fat lie that its JUST the left.
Bromance? Dude, get a grip with reality.
Obama is the most thoroughly unvetted and secretive president in my lifetime. That's a fact minus emotion and your hissy fits springing from your overly literal interpretation coupled with a lifetime of tax returns isn't going to change that. Tom was absolutely correct in his assessment.
Hello tom:
Can you show me where he did that?? Or did you hear about it from Hannity?? Look. If you wanted to see my Hallet School record, and they didn't give it to you, that's on Hallet.. I can't control what they release or what they don't. Now, I'm not the president, but apparently Obama sealed these records when he was just a schmuck.. Schmucks can't seal records... They just can't..
Anyway, I'll wait to see what you come up with...
excon
Of course you think he is, you almost used his words verbatim: https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/curren...ml#post3198804
LOL.
How did someone unvetted get through the presidential process? Answer: he/she doesn't. Stir your tempest in a teapot and get all outraged!
My college and grad schools will not release my records to anyone. In fact, they won't give out any of my personal contact information to anyone, even to another alumnus. President Obama didn't have to seal anything.
Dude, all one need to is look at your idea of what verbatim is and it's pretty clear to all that you have comprehension issues.
As for your summary, that's a willful ignorance of historical fact.
Hello again,
What's worse? That he didn't pay taxes, or that he won't release the returns??
At THIS point, I'd say it's his REFUSAL. I think it's FINISHING him.
excon
But then, no one really cares about Romney. He is just a placeholder. People won't be voting for Romney, but will be voting Republican to get rid of the Democrat in office.
I think its funny they call our guy opaque, but don't care if their guy is too! Hypocrisy, or a double standard... OR BOTH!
Some leader, that refuses to clarify.
Breaking news... a part of the President revealed.. He likes thin mint Girl Scout Cookies!!
He could release to the public his transcripts any time he wants to .
Here is how he could get his Harvard records :
Transcript Requests
No one said he couldn't get them. Of what importance are they? If he got all As and B's, then the narrative will become that he cheated or paid someone to take his exams and write his papers. Even though the State of Hawaii issued his long-form birth certificate, there are still those who say it was recently manufactured and those birth announcements in the newspapers back then were deliberately put in to help people in 2012 prove a future president is a native-born American.
Call it intellectual curiousity . Don't you want to read any scholarship from his days as Harvard Review Editor ? Or anything he published as a Law Professor at Chitown U.
I don't give a rat's a$$ about his grades . I want to know what was the purpose of sealing 8 years of work in the Illinois Senate ? All I know from the official Illinois record is that he was quite unremarkable.
"I think that it's important for any candidate in public office to be as transparent as possible, to let people know who we are, what we stand for, and you know, I think that this is just carrying on a tradition that has existed throughout the modern presidency." (Barack Obama ) bwaaaahaaaaahaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa!!
If you want Romney's tax records I have no problem with that because I don't care if the president is rich or not. In fact I think one that's been successful in the private sector is much more qualified than a virtually unknown community organizer. But I've made reference to Obama's empty, pompous claims of transparency for years and he's been anything but transparent.
So from my end all you have is Obama's hypocrisy (the correct spelling, where's our language monitor when a liberal misspells a word) and his double standard.

Hello again, tom:
I want Obama to release whatever documents you wanted George W. Bush to release... I have a feeling, you weren't so intellectually curious about him. So, there's something else going on here..
We ALL know what it is. You guys just can't get over the fact that we have a BLACK president... It bugs you SOOOO badly that you're looking for some PROOF - ANY proof - that a black man STILL isn't equal to a white guy... You're looking for vindication... It ain't there. Bummer for you old white guys.
excon
It would be a waste of time to try to defend myself from your constant charge of racism. As you must know there are plenty of good QUALIFIED Black candidates I'd love to see as President. They are the ones the left routinely disparages with stereotypical slurs.
No sir, I know who I'm referring to and that would be you.
