LOL. Romney will be made into the most evil rich person to ever walk earth before the left and their spin masters get done with him. Obama will be made out to be a peasant barely getting along on his meager presidential salary.
Sure they will.
AND OBAMA DID PAY A LOWER EFFECTIVE RATE THAN HIS SECRETARY:
Thats his scam (rep wh0@re), he's asked me that plenty of times, goes for someone who he thinks agrees with him and reps u only to ask u to rep him back, mentality like that brings caveman to mind.
It was spun as "this is exactly why we need to change the tax code" which actually works in their favor if you think about it. Obama didn't have to take the deductions and if he didn't people would say he is an idiot for not taking them. Every politician takes it from the other side. Politicians have too much power and everybody wants it.

Yeah, but his beloved Buffet rule wouldn't have applied to him even if it was in effect--so it would have made no difference.
If this is really about "fairness," he could have not used every single deduction available to him and paid more in taxes, and a higher effective rate.
But wouldn't a leader be able to show us what he means, so everyone could see it happening? Just asking so you can help me understand some things.
Again, stupid argument. If Obama did write a check and send it in you'd criticize him for being "showy."
A leader plays by the rules of the tax code, prepares his returns honestly by whats allowed in the law, and works to change/fix what might be broken or unjust.
That is beyond funny. I wonder how the left will spin this one? B...b....b....b....buuut he gave to charities. LOL. Idiots.
This is beyond funny because Obama has done nothing but complain that the tax rates favor the rich and implicated his own income in that. I'm sure he's NOT surprised that his tax rates are lower than some of his employees. This is a perfect example of how the wealthy have deductions and write-offs to make them pay less tax percentages.
Now, this really would be funny if Obama had gone around and harped about how FAIR the tax code is or how wealthy folks don't really get these breaks. But he doesn't say that, does he?
He clearly states that middle class are getting burned and he has also stated that his income is part of the class that needs to have taxes increased.
So, I'm really not sure why you think this is so outrageous.
So what? Every time he talks about it he is perfectly clear that he doesn't need the Bush tax breaks, and that he and everyone in his income category should be paying a higher rate.
Nothing like a procrastinating President. File your taxes Mitt. I am sure you know an accountant or two.
Nothing like a President who lets this who work for him not pay their taxes! Obama’s Aides Owe Some Money in Back Taxes

A few dozen people who work for President Obama are having some trouble paying their taxes.
The IRS has released its Federal Employee and Retiree Delinquency Inventory, and it shows that 36 of Obama’s aides owe a total of $833,970 in back taxes.
41 Obama White House aides owe the IRS $831,000 in back taxes -- and they're not alone

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.
I will give Obama props for donating 22% of his income. Biden gave 1%.
I think it is odd that Obama donates 22% of his salary to Charities... why doesn't he donate it to government who he thinks should and do take the place of Charities.. apparently even he doesn't trust the government when it comes to social programs...
