WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama called on likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney to release more of his tax returns, in an interview with Univision released on Saturday.

Obama's campaign has been pushing Romney, a multi-millionaire former private equity executive, to release several years of his prior tax returns to shed light on how he amassed his wealth.

In an interview conducted on Friday and released on Saturday, an anchor for the Spanish-language network noted Obama had released his tax returns for 12 years and asked him if Romney should do the same.

"Absolutely," the president replied, according to a transcript.

"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."

Yet another pot and kettleism. It would be amusing if it weren't so pathetic.

Didn’t FOX just ask Obama to release his school transcripts? Shouldn’t Mitt add his voice to that?

Amen!

“Obama, release your school transcripts. The nation deserves to understand how you amassed your vast reserves of ideological idiocy.”

Of course we do actually know. Bill Ayers told us and Obama signed the title page (”Yo! I’m Barry Soetoro Dunham Obama and I approved this message yo.”)

It's time for the Romney team to go on the offensive on this and demand such things as school transcripts, passport records, certified paper copies of birth and baptismal certificates, and all other missing Obama data. This opens the door to bring this missing information into the legacy media.

And in the interest of “FAIRNESS” - I’m sure Mr. Obama will be happy to release the following -


1) Marriage license between Obama’s father (Barak Sr.) and mother (Stanley Ann Dunham) — not found, not released

2) Obama’s baptism records — sealed

3) Obama’s adoption records — sealed

4) Records of Obama’s and his mother’s repatriation as US citizens on return from Indonesia — not found, not released

5) Name change (Barry Sotero to Barack Hussein Obama) records — not found, not released

6) Noelani Elementary School (Hawaii) — not released

7) Punahou School financial aid or school records — not released

8) Occidental College financial aid records — not released. (These records were, however, subpoenaed but Obama lawyers succeeded in quashing the subpoena in court. No other Occi records have been released.)

9) Columbia College records — not released

10) Columbia senior thesis — not released

11) Harvard Law School records (not mentioned below, but not released)

12) Obama’s law client list — sealed

13) Obama’s files from career as an Illinois State Senator — sealed

14) Obama’s record with Illinois State Bar Association — sealed

15) Obama’s medical records — not released

16) Obama’s passport records — not released

This is a golden opportunity to say “Sure, I’ll release my tax returns - just as soon as you release your passport records, college transcripts, and all the other stuff that you’ve spent millions hiding.”

Indeed; Obama is totally full of them.

Certainly a schizophrenic MO going on w/Obama. Whether related to that scar on his skull; or just 'ideologically induced'; it really does not matter. His bobble-head disciples (aka 'useful idiots' ) neither notice; nor care to.

“just ask Obama to release his school transcripts”

School transcripts are not enough. I want to know which mullah paid for his Harvard education. There’s a potential conflict of interest there with all the wars going on.

The 'Offensive' long overdue. We can only hope the Romney team - including RNC - changes it's collective mind; per it's prohibition of going 'personally negative'.

Never a better prescription for failure. We have way too much evidence, that shows, when Repubs foolishly, turn 'truth to a weakness'- as they appear compelled to do - failure follows.

We are left to only hope they have figured there really IS an ENEMY in our midst - and the truth of that; must be dealt with - up front and head on.
