Allen West To Obama: Show Us Your College Records And Fast And Furious Docs And We’ll Show You Our Tax Returns…

What do you say, Barack?
Via The Hill:

Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) set high stakes in an offered “deal” with President Obama on Friday.
Obama’s campaign isn’t backing down on requests to see Mitt Romney’s tax returns — on Friday, campaign manager Jim Messina offered to stop asking if he releases five years’ worth — but the freshman Florida congressman had a counteroffer for Obama.
“Show us your sealed college records and Operation Fast and Furious White House memos, and we will all show you our tax returns,” West wrote on his Facebook page Friday.

Are people trying to claim that college records are a prerequisite for being PotUS?

Desperate minds seek bizarre things to complain about.

It's not like Obama hasn't left a trail of things to complain about, this is pathetic.

Like his birth certificate- People claim Obama never attended the University- I think it was Harvard.

Kinda funny,when the story about GWB going AWOL in the 197s was leaked,the republicans,were saying it was not a big deal,now something about Obama is a big deal.

would be simpler if they admited that the reason behind their motives,is "racism"

 

[EagleSmack]

Oh brother... not another one.

President of Havard Law Society, not much of an issue. Hiding funds offshore to transfer to family tax fee, that is an issue.

That shouldn't be a big issue, Can Revenue Agency allowed that and even blocked releasing the names of the big family trusts (ie, Liberal Party supporters) that were involved.

We know now just how much trouble America is in. Every Presidential hopeful shows his
tax records and prior to this time not a problem. Romney knows if he does that, he will not
be in a favorable light because while he helped dismantle America's manufacturing sector
he paid light on his taxes.
Obama didn't come through with his birth certificate true, but he did have one and the GOP
ended up embarrassed because they claimed it didn't exist and it did.
Wow two wonderful examples of priorities, the whole country is going in the toilet and these
people want to deal in the past.
If this continues all we will see is two heads swirling around the bowl one more time before
the final flush because voters will soon have had enough

It was a few billion if I recall correctly-

I always thought that issue was funny, since the Republican candidate was not born in the US, and all the Republican people were trying to claim Obama wasn't.

The wealthy will be wealthy.

When Sen. Ted Kennedy's (D-MA) mom died he had her estate probabted in Florida when she was a resident of Massachusetts. Massachusetts estate taxes are much higher. The state he represented.

And Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) registered his yacht in Rhode Island to avoid paying the higher sales tax in Massachusetts. The state he represents.


So please... please spare me the big bad Republican thing.

And how does Romney get around the fact that everyone running for President, for at least 3 decades released their taxes- And his money off shore.
He is going to get hammered on that and his low rate of taxes. Nothing illegal- But..................

Tax evasion is an issue, whether or not the Republicans support it.

This was in Canada- And it was all legal.

Again... what has he done wrong. I gave examples of other wealthy people doing what they can to keep what they've earned. Ted Kennedy probating his mom's estate in Florida, even though she was a Massachusetts resident and has been her whole life, so the GREEDY Liberal State of Massachusetts can't get their hands on the MILLIONS tht they would have.

He has released taxes but the Dems need more mud to sling to keep the campaign in the gutter. The Obama Campaign surely can't run on their record.

This thread title is very misleading. That is all.

I did not state he did anything illegal- just what past persons have done when running for President- He will be hammered on this.

They're trying to make it an issue sure. What else can they do. They've haven't got enough mud. So they need Mitt to provide material for them. I doubt he will.

- TenPenny ... Quelle surprise, you are mistaken. Mitt Romney was born in Detroit, Michigan where his father was an auto executive who went on to become the president of American Motors. Last time I looked, Detroit and Michigan were both included in the USA.

- Aside from Donald Trump, not one prominent Republican claims that Obama was born outside the USA so your comment that "all the Republican people were trying to claim Obama wasn't" is as accurate as your usual verbiage.

Legal and ethical aren't the same thing. He should be both.
