President Obama’s campaign is out with a new ad going hard after Mitt Romney to release his past tax returns.
The former Massachusetts governor has released his 2010 tax return and released an estimate of his 2011 taxes, with a pledge to release the full return. But he has resisted giving more information about his past taxes. Obama’s ad seizes on that fact, saying it “makes you wonder if some years he paid any taxes at all. ”

There’s an old saying in the south, “if you want to keep the gnats out of your face, cut a hole in the seat of your pants.”
Getting the ITRs on opponents did not work out well for Nixon so hopefully His Excellency ends up on that short end of the stick too.
Meanwhile, Matt Towery wrote an excellent article today. In it he said that Romney is running a poor campaign and has even distanced himself from those who could breath some fire into his campaign like Gingrich, Cain, Palen, etc.
No, Romnuts desides to run this vitural patrician campaign devoid of any conservative fire. Notice the last group mentioned as potential VP candidates: Jindal, Pawlenty and Portman....wow, watching paint dry is more interesting. Has McRomney decided to allow Palen into the convention yet? Probably not either.
Devastating ad. Romney cannot take much more of this without an effective response. Obama is defining this campaign 100% right now, with the MSM’s strong assistance. Romney is floundering because he is making the same mistakes as McCain: refusing to go for The Usuper’s jugular.
Hmmmm????
Makes you wonder, to what foreign governments did Bam-Bam pay taxes? Well, Bam-Bam? How 'bout some transparency?
He has lost more than a week of campaign time now, just being dogged by this. Even worse, Zero's track record isn't the issue. They've successfully made the campaign about what RINOmney is hiding, his outsourcing, etc - ie. what he is hiding. Fools.
Maybe King Barack never had any composite girlfriend ....
maybe he really DID have an affair with Larry Sinclair ....
“makes you wonder what he’s hiding”
hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm
(hey, conservatives can play this game too)
People don’t realize that when you have as much money as Romney does, then a tax return is several hundred pages. It ain’t no simple matter. I doubt they would be content with release of Form 1040 only.
And whats to stop him from altering those records?
No one but the hard core is paying attention right now; this stuff is kabuki. Wait until September for the big guns from both sides.

He’s getting hit with so much crap now he doesn’t know which way to turn. It’s relentless. He’s so busy trying to ward off the lies that he can’t talk about anything else. And he can’t talk about anything else if all he gets from the media is “why did you lie about Bain? why didn’t you pay your taxes? why are you a racist?”
I am guessing he’s already had the IRS look into it, and probably 0bama has actually seen the returns he’s demanding to be released.
I wonder how long 0bama will keep putting out this crap before someone in the media starts asking for details about his college records, social security numbers, etc.
Oh? You mean like the NY Times and Washington Post siding with Romney on the Dems' Bain attacks?
Romney Camp: Maybe Obama stopped smoking crack?
