BTW, Trump was openly mocked and made a fool of at the Correspondent's Dinner following the release of the LFBC. Obama played him for the sucker he is right to the end. Watch the video--even The Donald knew it. Only a birther would call being humiliated on national TV a win for Trump. LOL.
While I take a bit of satisfaction seeing The Donald embarrassed, it's kinda irrelevant to the topic at hand since Romney was never among the birther crowd to begin with. In fact -- if you will remember -- the birthers went after Mitt Romney too!

Birthers are just crazy. Insisting on proof that you were born in the USA is a valid request. Once that proof has been provided, the appropriate response is to sit down and shut up.

I remember quite clearly that Mitt Romney released his tax returns during the GOP primaries specifically because his opponents demanded it. He's released 2010 and 2011 that I know of. If he releases all tax returns going back to his very first job and paycheck, he'll be the first presidential candidate to do so ... ever.

To be completely fair, I think an exchange is in order. Obama must release all of his college records and all of the requested Fast and Furious documents the House asked for in exchange for Romney releasing all of his tax returns. Since the IRS has all of those tax returns in hand and has never come after Romney over anything, I think it's a helluva lot safer bet for Romney than it is for Obama. What if allegations that Obama applied for college scholarships as a non-citizen are true? What if Obama knowingly put weapons in the hands of drug cartels -- weapons that were used to kill hundreds of people?

Do Obama supporters really want full transparency? Can their man pony up or does he have a laundry list of dirty secrets he's hiding?

I don't, I'd ask Willard's father because he's the one that thought is was the appropriate thing to do as did EVERY candidate since. But, hey, you guys want uncle Willard to win so bad that you're ready to overlook the fact that he's intentionally hiding something. Really sad.

But you want to see a teenagers college transcripts.

Romneys father is about as immaterial to the discussion as what Obamas half brother does.

You just said you arent making up garbage, and then you go on to post garbage like this. I havent once asked about his college transcripts, nor has he released them. I've pointed out how hypocritical it is for people like you to defend Obama not releasing documents, while then demanding Romney release others. Tell me Frozenyo, is being a hypocrite a new admirable feature for Democrats?

If Obama can stand around telling you that he's not releasing documents, and you defend them, then clearly you're a hypocrite for demanding them of Obamas opponent.

Ooh wait, you're one of thsoe people who defend the non release of Fast and Furious documents as well, right?

The irony of the very same individuals calling for Romney's tax records, are the very ones defending Obama for not releasing Fast and Furious documents.

No, he didn't.

During his 1994 Senate race, Mr. Romney called on Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D) to release his tax returns and show he had "nothing to hide. Neither candidate released his tax information.
But, hey, in your rush to excuse and justify anything Romney does, don't bother finding out if your claims have any basis in, you know, reality...

Oh, the irony of this sniveling, arrogant statement, coming just one sentence after you cluelessly maintain that Obama only released two years of tax returns (I'll assume you're ignorant, not deceitful -- but feel free to set the record straight).

Barack Obama and his wife released their tax returns from 2000 to 2006 on his campaign Web site Tuesday, and the Illinois senator challenged Sen. Hillary Clinton to release hers.
Obama releases tax returns, challenges Clinton to follow suit - CNN

Quote:
April 16, 2008
Sen. Barack Obama released his 2007 tax returns this evening, hours before his debate with Sen. Hillary Clinton.
44 - Obama Releases 2007 Tax Returns

That's eight years, genius (and he's subsequently released his returns for 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, as they've been filed).

PS - you're wrong about Romney, too - he has released one year of returns (2010) and one year of estimates (2011 - he hasn't filed last year's returns, yet).

Sheeesh, get a clue...

And in your very post above, you acknowledged he did. Make up your mind and stop flip flopping from posting to posting.

It has already been stated that he did release his 2010 and the estimate for 2011.
