he should release them. but using liberal logic, only left wingers care about this, so he doesn't have to.

If you are talking about the Birth Certificate issue, President Obama did release the short form which contained all the same information. There was also evidence of his place of birth. Id be okay with it if Romney would release the information from his tax returns.
 
I wonder if Romney's campaign is checking the returns of his potential VP choices? I hope some reporter will ask him that question.

Did Obama check the returns of his appointees like Giethner? Apparently not. Or any of the others that own some $1 Billion in taxes?

You libs sure do have a lot of balls I'll give you that.

We now know that federal employees across the nation owe fully $1 billion in back taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.

As in, 1,000 times one million dollars. All this political jabber about giving middle-class ...
... Americans a tax cut. Thousands of feds have been giving themselves one all along -- unofficially. And these tax scofflaws include more than three dozen folks who work for the president with that newly decorated Oval Office.

The Post's T.W. Farnum did some research and found that out of the total sum, just 638 workers on Capitol Hill owe the IRS $9.3 million in back taxes. As in, overdue. The IRS gets stiffed by the legislative body that controls its budget. How Washington works.

Now, back taxes have been a problem for the Obama-Biden administration. You may recall early on that Tom Daschle was the president's top pick to run the Health and Human Services Department. But it turned out the former Democratic senator, who was un-elected from South Dakota in 2004, owed something like $120,000 to the IRS for things from his subsequent benefactor that he just forgot to pay taxes on. You know how that is. $120G's here or there. So he dropped out.

And then we learned this guy Timothy Geithner owed something like $42,000 in back taxes and penalties to the IRS, which is one of the agencies that he'd be in charge of as secretary of the Treasury. The fine fellow who's supposed to know about handling everyone else's money. In the end this was excused by Washington's bipartisan CYA culture as one of those inadvertent accidental oversights that somehow never seem to happen on the side of paying too much taxes.

And under Geithner's expert guidance the U.S. economy has been, well, wow! Just look at it.

Privacy laws prevent release of individual tax delinquents' names. But we do know that as of the end of 2009, 41 people inside Obama's very own White House owe the government they're allegedly running a total of $831,055 in back taxes. That would cover a lot of special chocolate desserts in the White House Mess.

In the House of Representatives, 421 people owe a total $6,524,892. In the Senate, 217 owe $2,774,836. In the IRS' parent department, Treasury, 1,204 owe $7,670,814. At the Labor Department, where Secretary Hilda Solis' husband had some back-tax problems before her confirmation, 463 owe $7,481,463. Eighty-one workers for the Federal Reserve System's board of governors owe $1,076,733.

Over at the Justice Department, which is so busy enforcing other laws and suing Arizona, 1,971 employees still owe $14,350,152 in overdue taxes.

Then, we come to the Department of Homeland Security, which is run by Janet Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona who preferred to call terrorist acts "man-caused disasters." Homeland Security is keeping all of us safe by ensuring that a brave Dutch tourist is aboard every inbound international flight to thwart any would-be bomber with explosives in his underpants.

Within that department, there reside 4,856 people who owe the tax agency a whopping total of $37,012,174.

When the IRS audited Geithner, he paid what he owed for 2003 and 2004. But he didn’t pay what he owed for 2001 and 2002. Why? Because the statute of limitations had run on those years, so the IRS couldn’t sue him to collect the money or charge him criminally for failing to pay it. Only when he was nominated as Secretary of the Treasury did Geithner go back and pay what he owed for 2001 and 2002.

Geithner is not the only tax cheat working in the Obama administration. As Glenn Reynolds has pointed out repeatedly, no fewer than 41 of Obama’s White House aides owe back taxes to the IRS, adding up to $831,000. But they aren’t alone: 638 Congressional staffers owe another $9.3 million, and federal employees, altogether, owe $1 billion in back taxes.

Private sector employees and companies don’t always pay their taxes, either. Warren Buffett may be eager to pay more in personal income taxes–not that he is actually mailing any checks to the treasury–but his company, Berkshire Hathaway, is embroiled in long-running battle over its IRS tab. Experts Berkshire Hathaway may owe an additional $1 billion.

This issue helps Obama by making his opponents look like whacks, that's why he does not release the official document. The bigger an issue this is for the lunutic 30% the worse it reflects on Obama's more Mainstream opponants.

Ive seen the birth cert. Its been released... its public record and does not require his permisssion to be released.

If I were Obama and it did require my permission... I would not give it, these wackos help him in his efforts to portray all of his opponants as whackos.

Well, isn't that just convenient? I don't think that Romney should be bowing to pressure from his political opponents, so that they can only get the records to distort politically.

It sure is funny that tax irregularities can be easily found by the IRS and supplied to media, and congress when asked for, but yet you and others want this dog and pony show to distract from the failure Obama has been for the past four years...Hell, it has even been admitted in here that Romney most likely didn't break any laws in his taxes, yet we have Obama surrogates labeling him as a possible felon....This is outrageous.
 
Obama record he'd rather deflect from....

$5 Trillion added to debt
23 Million unemployed/under employed
Unemployment rate over 8%
U6 rate over 15%
No budget for his entire first term.


These are the issues, not this nit picking back and forth about non issue subjects.

Then you agree that Obama should release his College records; because he could have had really bad grades and it appears that the truth is worse then the rumors?
