Obama and his "team" need those tax returns and they need them NOW. The personal destruction through lies and misrepresentation is the only game Obama knows. He has to have access to those personal records RIGHT NOW in order for the game to go forth. Otherwise there just isn't time left before the general election to destroy Mitt Romney with twisted facts, out-right lies, and complete distortions.
Gov. Romney is a wise man to say no to this absurd game. Why he isn't demanding the release of some well-hidden Obama documents in return is beyond me.
Something tells me that:
A: Those tax returns have already got the eyeball by someone high in the obumbles heirarchy
B: There is nothing on them that is damaging to Romney because...
C: If there were, then they would have been leaked, hacked, stolen, whatever.
Just my 2 cents.
