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.
