I am absolutely in favor of full disclosure from all candidates on their financial dealings. I think Hillary's latest tax returns ought to be released and added to the other 15 or so years of her tax returns that are a matter of public record.
Here are the questions for Obama to answer regarding his connections to TonyRezko, an indicted felon on trial facing charges of political corruption, amongst others:
1. Will Sen. Obama release all documents related to his relationship with Tony Rezko, including all documents related to his controversial land transaction?
2. When, specifically, did Sen. Obama become aware of Mr. Rezko's legal problems?
3. Sen. Obama has returned money from several individuals who are publicly associated with Mr. Rezko. How much money did Mr. Rezko bundle for Sen. Obama's campaigns in total, including people who are not business associates of Mr. Rezko? How many fundraisers did Mr. Rezko hold for Sen. Obama? Has there been an internal investigation to determine how many straw donors Mr. Rezko used to funnel money to Sen. Obama?
4. Much of the upcoming trial involves Mr. Rezko's efforts to control state boards as a means to defraud the state government. Have Sen. Obama and Mr. Rezko ever communicated about potential appointments to Illinois boards and commissions? It's been publicly reported that Sen. Obama lobbied these same state boards to secure contracts for campaign donors. Did Sen. Obama ever confer with Mr. Rezko concerning how to successfully lobby state boards?
5. The New York Times reported that Sen. Obama attended a business meeting on behalf of Mr. Rezko to impress potential investors for his business schemes. How many events did Sen. Obama attend on behalf of Mr. Rezko to impress investors? What was his role? Why did Sen. Obama agree to attend?
6. How many times did Senator Obama visit Tony Rezko's house? What were the purpose of these visits?
7. Did Sen. Obama intercede on behalf of Mr. Rezko in any governmental capacity?

For those interested in a rational, fact-based look on the Obama/Rezko matter, and not guilt by association insinuations based by supporters of the Whitewater candidate , I'd hope you take a look at this.
Fair enough, I agree all candidates should disclose this type of info...but it works both ways.
This means Hillary has to show her tax returns, and the 2600 pages of records she won't release from the national archives, along with all the other documents she's working so hard to keep under wraps until after the election.
This also means McCain has to lay out the proof about the whole Keating five debacle, etc....

Good luck with all that
And Obama needs to show his papers from his Illinois Legislative career...
