Romney: I won’t release my tax returns even if I become the nominee
“I doubt it,” Mr. Romney said, according to a transcript of the interview provided by NBC News. “I will provide all the financial info, which is an extraordinary pile of documents which show investments and so forth.”
“But you won’t do the tax returns?” asked Chuck Todd, host of “The Daily Rundown.”
“I don’t intend to release the tax returns. I don’t,” Mr. Romney responded.
A spokesman for President Obama‘s re-election campaign blasted Mr. Romney and questioned whether he had something to hide in his finances.
“Why does Governor Romney feel like he can play by a different set of rules?” said Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for the Obama campaign.

OK, that’s just absurd. No candidate wants that.

Wouldn’t releasing his tax returns reveal the charities yo which he donates and how much? I wonder how many conservative causes be supports with his own money.
They say that looking at a man’s checkbook can tell you a lot about the man.

LOL at an Obama flack criticizing Romney for not releasing records. Mitt should respond with “I’ll release my tax records if Barack Obama releases his college transcripts.”

I agree that this should be thrown back in the media’s face. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Suck it, MSM.

This is what you get with a wimpy candidate. Romney won’t push back or challenge the media on their double standards, and they’ll eat him alive, so to speak, as a result. Great.
