Deflection is pointless.

I'm not a huge Obama supporter, but that doesn't make Romney infallible. The man should release his tax returns for the sake of full disclosure when running to be the most powerful man in the world.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting the most powerful man in the world to meet the standards he ran for.

IS there a requirement for them to show them? No.

I want 3 pints of Mitt Romney's blood. Is he required to give it to me? No.
If a governor wants 3 pints of his blood is he required to give it to him? No
If AMERICA wanted the blood? Still no.
It's true, producing evidence is never "required". Then again, neither is defending yourself when you're under attack.

My sense is that from the start, the Obama team has smelled blood in Romney's tax returns. And Gov. Bentley is simply stating the obvious, that the longer Romney stonewalls on releasing 'em, the more he drags all this out (unless of course the tax returns are even more incriminating...)!

Romney said in an interview on CNN he will release just one more year's return, 2011. He said the public will have to make do with just 2 years of returns. That's it. His avoidance lends credence to the theories that he's afraid to let the voters see the information.

Thanks, that's interesting! And dunno whether intentional, but ironically this does kinda parallel the birther playbook, where, as it continued to drag out, the implicit subtext was also very similar to this one... aka, "he's suspicious, what's he hiding?", and "see, he's different from the rest of us!" Ah, poetic justice!

That's reaching.

Insinuating that Obama's existence as an American is a lie and calling Romney's reluctance to release his tax returns questionable are only comparable under the loosest of equivalence.

Nope, Romney's tax return is irrelevent. Documents relating to the murder of a Federal agent are much more important.why is Obama hiding them? It is time for him to come clean. Those who demand transparency from Romney on an irrelevent issue are willing to let Obama to literally get away with murder
