What disturbed me the most was his use of government agencies which should be politically neutral to bully and punish his opposition much like a dictator would do. Using the IRS to punish and keep your opposition in check is the most obvious example. Hitler and Mussolini would have been proud of his tactics.
Exactly, it's 3rd world thinking and activities....Obama will go down as a 3rd world President wanta be. Weaponizing the IRS and intelligence agencies to try to defeat a political movement is criminal...lock him up.

No wonder an outsider was elected President. The people have lost trust with the slimballs that make politics a career.

The Inspector General, is America's saving grace in all this mess being exposed.
It is going to be way bigger than Watergate.

Now we got the ex-DOJ Holder, running guns to ISIS, with Fast & Furious through Mexico as the first crime covered up. All the way to Obama aiding Hezbollah, without congresses knowledge, illegally.

Obama & Hillary pushing Communism, using government as a weapon upon the people, is the reason Donald Trump got elected the 45th President of the USA.
2018 might be the year for JUSTICE!

This isn't news. Anyone who actually watched the news and read a paper during the 8 years Obama was President saw how he was shaping the courts and appointing people to certain positions and changing rules to make those people appointed more difficult to remove after his Presidency ended. The vast majority of the people who post here and, talk about politics in general never paid attention to anything until about 2 years ago. Now they know everything.

This thread is about President Obama. I just pointed out that President Obama didn't hide his tax returns. The tax returns show that President Obama was a multimillionaire before becoming President.
The opinion given above on accountants is ridicules. The deceptive and foolish motive has been a constant offering by the left. The opinion counts on the public knowing very little of accounting and that it can take complex matters and reduce them to simple understandings. If that were true people wouldn't need accountants at all.
To complicate it even more is the international rules that apply which the average accountant wouldn't even know.
It takes years of study with a test at the end that many fail the first time they take it. If anything is simple it would be those who fall for the deception.



No fixed rule may be laid down until all of the accounting elements that may fall within its scope have been studied and their effects determined so completely as to bring exact knowledge that the rule, when applied to them, will result in a proper statement of financial facts. Even then the rule must be subject to possible exception, as there is always the possibility that a new and unexpected set of circumstances may arise to which the rigid application of this rule would result in distortion of truth.

Come on now. Determining income and deductions isn't rocket science.

All other Presidents for decades have released their tax returns. President Obama released his returns from 2000 through 2015:

Tax History Project -- Presidential Tax Returns

Then again, I doubt that other presidents had such a track record of bankruptcies and questionable sources of funds.

P.S. how ironic that you got so blustery that you used the word ridicules vs. ridiculous

In the meantime, rant on.
Yeah, the Russian thing has gotten stale.

You had Bengahzi- which was a nothing burger. This has teeth- so let justice prevail at its' own pace.

Not too hard to understand if you are really an American and concerned about 'justice'.

Hillary got an Ambassador killed.
