Republican U.S. presidential challenger Mitt Romney plans to make public his 2011 tax return by October 15, a senior campaign adviser said on Sunday, as President Barack Obama's re-election team pressed its criticism of Romney's decision not to disclose more about his personal taxes.

Romney, a former private equity executive who is one of the richest men ever to run for president, has come under pressure for months from the Obama campaign to release more years of tax returns.

He has released his 2010 tax return and estimates for 2011 but does not plan to reveal more years of returns. In April, he requested an extension from the Internal Revenue Service to file his 2011 tax forms, while estimating his tax liability at $3.2 million for last year.

OH, and By the WAY. Romney/Ryan should bring out Joe the Plumber on the campaign trail, just for the, “I told you so moment”

Damn...He only paid 3.2 mil

This is normal SOP. This is not what the 0bamatrons are asking for.

[Perdogg]

I am not sure what you are talking about.

[Perdogg]

They made the same request of Hillary.

Don’t give the POS Bozo anything, stand up and slap the prick around!

He already promised he would give the 2011 returns. I don’t think anyone gives a rat’s behind what Obama wants but these two tax returns were already promised.

I am sure you do. School records, birth certificates why do most people not know who Obama really is. He should be challenging the media to revet Obama. The way the media dynamic is currently working Mitt can be questioned and doubted on everything and they give Obama a free ride to the next election.

McCain let the media do the same thing. Mitt better find some fight now or he will go down the same path as McCain. He needs to get on the front foot by questioning the media and their assertions.

Romney needs to ask publicly what the Obama campaign is willing to release in return. Specifically ask for 100% cooperation in releasing the Fast and Furious documents and correspondence, specifically ask for all educational and passport records for the _resident and specifically challenge the media to demand the same since they were woefully derelict in their duties 4 years ago.
