Obama Releases Income Tax Returns
And dares Hillary to do the same:
Barack Obama released seven years of tax returns today "to demonstrate his commitment to transparency," said spokesman Robert Gibbs. Gibbs called on Hillary Clinton to do the same. "We believe that the Clinton campaign should meet that routine standard and meet that routine standard now," he said.
Clinton's campaign spokesman Howard Wolfson has said HRC's tax returns would be released on or around April 15th. He promised at least three days of lead time before the April 22 PA primary.
With Hillary defending her "hot zone landing" lies, I'd say that Barack Obama is back on offense, and back in control of the narrative. Clearly, he's decided that whatever negative is in these income tax returns, they probably pale in comparison to some awkward items in the Clinton tax returns. Specifically, folks like me are wondering where she got the five million dollars to loan her campaign.

The democratic party has to figure out a way to win in November. McCain is gaining strenght as this in-fighting continues. i'd vote for either one of them , even though i'd prefer hillary.

Pam,
No, you were right, he publicly released them some time ago, but only now put them up on his website.

Gee, Dave. It's called book advances. She and Bill have probably made 30 Million since leaving the White house - he was getting 150K - 250K per speech for a long time.
Barack is laying low and letting Reverend Wright blow by the short attention span of the media

What politician doesn't lie? Where is Obama's experience outside of the US and where will his foriegn policy lead the county. Make peace and unite all races worldwide? If so then we can expect to adopt a more Islamic view. You crappin tree huggers with this idea of "change" is gonna drag this country further down just as we are trying to keep our heads above water. And when it happens the only one's to blame are those that vote for this guy. At least Hillary has some recognition among nations other than the Islamic ones. Stay the course, vote "McCain"
"OBAMA SUCKS"!!!! Who cares how much they make, just as long as they file.

Why does everyone think that Hillary is not going to release her tax info? She has for so many years, why would it be any different now? Obama is funny: He has this huge Wright scandal going, and Kilpatrick is currently in the news and facing prison time, and Rev. Meeks is off ranting about white slave masters and house n***ers, and then the passport breach stuff, a new admittance that Rezko gave him an extra $100,000.00 this week, and he's off sitting on a beach, and having someone put his tax info on a website, and asking Hillary to do HIM a favor (you know it would take time away from her campaign), and meanwhile, her taxes aren't even due. I didn't do MY taxes...her taxes are probably way more complicated than our slim little tax paper file.

so what that obama has released his tax records. hes just trying to change the real subject again. and the subject is why did he sit in that church for 20 years and agree with his spiritual advisor ? this is the "judgement" of a commander in chief ? thats the real question of the day and the whole year leading up to election day. period.
pattiw1:49PMMar 25th 2008
It appears to me as though it's the media that seems to be fueling the fire. Notice how there isn't much chatter on Obama these days and no digging into his past. This truly is not an american race for the presidentcy, it's a media race and the media knows it. Hillary has the knowledge and the experience to carry us through. When is the media going to figure that out. When is the media going to help Hillary out like they have helped out Obama.
GET A GRIP ON REALITY-MEDIA PEOPLE!!!!
HILLARY "08"

IT'S INTERESTING OBAMA REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT HIS SWEETHEART LAND DEALS and quarter million dollar campaign contributions from Rezko which Obama tried to claim was only $150K until he got caught.
I want him to release PAST TAX RETURNS since the media refuses to question his about these moral lapses.

HELLO ALL SUPER-DELEGATES, DID YOU KNOW IF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA BECOMES THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE HE WILL NEVER EVER BE ELECTED PRESIDENT IN NOVEMBER! DID YOU KNOW THAT ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS LIKE MY FAMILY AND ME, DON'T CARE IF CLINTON ASKS ALL HER SUPPORTERS TO VOTE FOR OBAMA BECAUSE WE WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM.
I WILL GIVE MY VOTE TO MACAIN OR TO SOMEONE FROM THE THIRD PARTY, 90% OF OBAMAS SUPPORTERS ARE IRRESPONSIBLE KIDS UNDER 20 YEARS OLD THAT DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ECONOMY, WAR, HEALTH CARE, ETC.ETC. I HAD READ IN SOME BLOG THAT OBAMA IS TRYING TO BUY THE DELEGATES, IT IS BETTER TO DO A DEEP INVESTIGATION ON THIS MATTER.
WHERE IS ALL THE MONEY THAT OBAMA HAS IS COMING FROM? ALL THE MONEY HE IS USING FOR THE CAMPAIN? IS IT COMING FROM ONLY FROM $10-$20 DONATION? I DONT THINK SO!!!
I BELIEVE THAT OBAMA IS USING A BLANKET CALLED "CHRISTIAN" TO HIDE THE FACT THAT HE IS NOT....VOTE WITH YOU CONSCIENCE, VOTE FOR HILLARY!

come on now,,,,,I knew it would be a battle for hillary to become the first woman president, but I did not know that they would pick on her so much....the news broadcasters are all for Obama. I hope she comes out of this allright, but no matter what she does, it is the same old thing since middle ages,,,,a woman has got to stay in her place--------

OBAMA SUPPORTERS SEEM INCAPABLE OF GRASPING that Obama CANNOT win a general election without the millions of votes of Clinton supporters he will never get after Camp-Obama falsely insinuated former President Clinton is a lying racist.
And something his supporters should have considered before spending 24/7 Swift Boating her campaign on behalf of Obama. OOOPS!

"I smoked it but I did not inhale".
"He's winning because he is black".
“ I remember running from the plane under sniper fire.”
“ I never received money from Peter Paul”.

I thought I would check out the comments on this page but apparently we still have verrrrrrrrrrrry narrow minded people still hung on a pastors speech. One person says Obama is trying to change the subject by urging Hillary to release her tax information. WAKE UP!! Someone needs to address the issues that are really facing OUR country (Our referring to all whites, blacks, hispanics, asians, indians etc.). Both of our democratic candidates need to get off the small talk and explain to us their plan to move us into a brighter more successful future. WE a people have the obligation to keep them on the issues not their income and color or religion. COME ON PEOPLE!!!! This is becoming very elementary.

you wouldn't fined Obama ever in a war zone he votes no and runs back under the portch with his tail tucked between his lags HE IS YELLOW.

OpenYourBlindEye08, welcome to planet Earth. Bill (AKA 'Slick Willie') Clinton was just given $130 million from a Canadian firm for his hand in helping them to procure Uranium rights in Khazakstan (spell check). Do you think they gave him $130 million because he's a swell guy?? Nope, a foreign entity is trying to purchase influence in the Clinton White House, again. What color is the sky in your world? :) Landed under Sniper fire?? PLEASE!! GIVE ME A BREAK!! What a liar!! Women vote for Hillary because she has boobs and a uterus, not a qualification if you ask me.
Jim2:18PMMar 25th 2008
Obama says that Al Qaeda wasn't in Iraq until the war... You got to laugh about that one..Al Qaeda is all over the Middle East...Heck it's even right here in the United States and Obama should know because he is friends with some.. Who's he trying to fool..
