Obama Says Romney Needs to Be an ‘Open Book’ (As opposed to Obama's composite secret life)
ABC News Radio via KGO ^ | Monday, July 9, 2012

(MANCHESTER, N.H.) -- President Obama is personally calling on Mitt Romney to release more of his tax returns.

In an interview Monday night with Manchester, N.H., ABC affiliate WMUR, Obama stressed the need for transparency when asked whether Romney’s offshore finances, including a Swiss bank account, disqualified him for office or made him unpatriotic.

“What’s important is if you are running for president is that the American people know who you are and what you’ve done and that you’re an open book. And that’s been true of every presidential candidate dating all the way back to Mitt Romney’s father,” Obama told reporter Josh McElveen.

Such an opportunity. Wasted on Romney

Agreed. A real conservative would already be trouncing Obama in the polls, and would squash his pansy ass like a bug every time he opened his thug mouth.

Romney is just enough of a smart a$$ to make him pay.

We'll see. I haven't seen him act like a man yet.

Ok Romney, the ball is in your court! Will you have the stones to hit him low and hard?

Osama Obama's life has been an "open book" from the start.It's thanks to that attitude that we've come to know that Bill Ayers was just another guy in the neighborhood and that after attending his "church" for 20 years Osama didn't hear a single word that "Reverend" Wright said.

Pretty soon his "open book" policy will convince him to tell us why that Chicago hospital didn't fill his wide bodied bride's $350K/yr job after she left it.

Can this fool imagine what a laugh most Americans get out of this?

No, he can't, which is why he continues to say things that are completely outside the bounds of reality. The man lives in a bubble, and has no concept of what's really going on outside his door.

Doesn't help that he's a lying, delusional, narcissistic, utopian dreamer, to begin with.

Mitt certainly had no problem going after his fellow Republicans during the primary. It’s about time he did the same (and more) with Obama. I wonder why he hasn’t thus far.

This sounds so much like a parody that it's almost like Obama is begging for the Birther issue to take front stage. This could be a trap. I do think Romney should challenge Obama about releasing his sealed records and publically go down the whole list of what Obama has sealed.

If the media tries to push the Obama birth certificate issue with Romney I would LOVE for hime to say the following...

"Sometimes rumors can be hurtful. My promise to the American people is this. When I move into the White House the new attorney general will initiate a thorough and complete investigation in order to clarify to the American people that Barack Obama was indeed eligible and was the legitimate President of these United States. That's the fair thing to do not only for the American people but fair for President Obama and for his own legacy.

However, if by some chance the accusations turn out to be correct, there is a promise that anybody in Congress whether they be republican or democrat will be legally held accountable and justice will be served for any wrong doing and illegal activity. Let that be a warning to the leaders of Congress who have taken the oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America."

Has Mitt responded to this yet in some meaningful way? Good grief Mitt, WTF are you waiting for?!?! This would be a perfect opportunity to call this Ghetto Pig out on all of his unreleased records.

Mitt, here's a little advice: Just pretend Obama is a Republican...this should help you build the required amount of outrage necessary for a ballsy response.

Every time O opens his mouth it is a lie. He does opposite of what he says every time. I listen no more. He insults my whitey culture. His culture is nothing but lie, deceit, and violence.

Anyone remember when BO’s campaign had the AUDACITY to try to prove McCain wasn’t born on American soil?

This reeks of the same tactics.

Romney needs to answer that he will open his book if Obama will open his first.

Every day I find a new reason to loathe this man.

Obama releases nothing and the media covers for him. He calls for Romney’s tax records, and the media jumps all over it.

Disgusting.

This is what you call chutzpah.

He has gotten away with so much already that he knows he can say and do anything and get away with it. After all, he knows that the mainstream press will back him no matter what.
