Why does the Clinton campaign have to prepare any tax returns other than for this previous year?  Why are the tax returns between the White House days and now still being held and not disclosed?

And they AREN'T being released, right?  I don't see how that's a "false" attack...

Nor do I see how Obama can "disclose" ties with Rezko, when no ties to legislative favors ever existed.  Hillary's tax returns exist, don't they?  Those can still be released... unless, of course, they were shredded?

As I said,  let the games begin.  

Rezco, Farrakhan, Racist all black church, racist Pastor Wright.     Muslim?...to be or not to be?  Nafta/Canada under the table deal.
William Ayers terrorist friend of Obama.

That is the best you can come up with?? Dirty politics will not help you steal this election... One has to ask... What is Clinton so afraid of?


OBAMA '08

LOL!!

CHECKMATE.

If Obama thinks Clinton is using dirty politics he is definitely not ready to take on the GOP.

CROW IS BEING SERVED THIS MORNING AT BUFFETS EVERYWHERE POLITICAL PUNDITS GATHER FOR BREAKFAST. After Hillary proved to have the same blood as her husband, the "Come Back Kid", the punditry ilk this morning is scratching their heads, looking down at their plates, and thinking of how to rationalize Hillary's wins in yesterday's primary wins in Texas and Ohio that left egg all over their faces.

Democrat party, how long are you going to let these kind of attacks by the "Clinton's" go on? I think this is getting one sided on your part and you can see who is already ahead in delegates and won more states. I don't know about anyone else, but I am getting very tired of this mess.

Howard Wolfson is as disgusting as that fat pig Mark Penn.  His refusal to answer why Clinton's tax returns haven't been released yet in and of itself gives reason to wonder what Clinton is hiding.  Wolfson also knows that there is nothing regarding Tony Rezco that hasn't been fully vetted before.  He is grasping at straws.  If he felt he could score points on issues then he would talk about issues but again, Wolfson does not know how to do anything but attempt to destroy people.  He is the Democrats version of Karl Rove.  The Clinton's are pathological liars.  Of course they are hiding something.  If they aren't they would have released the returns by now.

Just how many Rezko's does Clinton have????????? There is only the obvious reason for not releasing her tax returns now. How about some press action on this?

Here's some information for Mr. Wolfson.  We won't allow Rezko to become our Whitewater.

http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/03/05/rezko/index.html

And one more thing.  In his speech last night, Barack Obama reminded us that the world is watching.  This is the same world that we so arrogantly promote Democracy to.  What do you think the world will think of us if we allow a group of political elites to overturn the voice of the people?  Let's see how that improves our standing in the world.

After reading the last two posts and realizing just how ugly this is going to get, I have only two things to say....Congratulations president McCain and a hearty congratulations to the democratic party for once again shooting yourself in the foot and abandoning us for your own self interests. The green party is looking pretty darn good to me right about now.

sleaze. Total trailer trash sleaze. I will not vote for another Clinton, ever...

She has been busy.  She will get around to it.  I haven't even begun to prepare my own tax forms and I know her schedule is MUCH more hectic than mine.
In good time--all in good time.

               HILLARY 08

Hillary Couldn't even run her household together, How is she going to run the white house? Obama, Muslim plan destroy the country from the inside. McCain sold out his own home state by giving undocumented aliens everything under the sun. There is no canidate ! write in for me put Dennis Smith on your ballot. I hate unlawful entry into our country, I'll remove all troops out of Iraq and Afganistan. Then level the countries, by showing them what REAL SHOCK AND AWE is ! !

She won't release her records, because she has something to hide. The records are "missing", just like the White House files, she is a master of hiding evidence. Where any of you paying attention during Bill's administration. They were a huge embarrassment to this country. From Bill lying about Lewinsky, her law firm partner committing suicide, and files being taken from his office after his death, per her instruction. Please, she needs to stop!

Isn't it interesting to note all of the positive things that the Media has said about Hillary winning big last night.:-) Of course you want Obama to win so that you Republicans can take over the White House again. Do you really think that John McCain will win over anyone?  In your dreams!! Mr. McCain has a completely new persona.  What hypocrits! He thinks that Bush has been a great President. He is about the only one who thinks that.  This message is for Tim Russert, I used to like him, but he is so afraid that Hillary is going to win the Nomination which she will that he doesn't have one nice thing about her, just snides which I do not appreciate.  The Media should be muzzled and keep their opinions to themselves for that is all that it is and the voters don't need to be biased by these so-called Reporters. The voters can make up their own minds not on what this Media thinks or the Kennedy's, Oprah, etc. We think for ourselves and everyone is sick to death of the Media trying to make something out of nothing and vice-versa. Just remember Tim, I hope Hillary remembers how good you were to her in this campaign when she is elected the 1st woman President in the USA.  

Clinton in a statement to Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinsky in NH said, "we need to let the voters decide" we now parse that to mean "superdelegate" voters. Are the Clintonites so naive to believe that Obama can't carry the big states in November. They know he will, but they can't win this nomination on issues, so they must lie cheat and steal it. Something they are good at. She also said the primary would be over on Feb 5th.
I will never vote for Clinton. She lied to many upstate NYers like myself to become a carpetbag Senator.

Out of her obsession with winning, and the inability to accept that America has moved beyond normal, divisive politics ... and the Clintons ... Hillary has finally found a way to return to politics as normal, which includes the worst attributes of human obsession ... the dark, fear mongering that every American uses to justify hating politicians as people who will say and do anything to keep power that they somehow perceive as their God-given right.

Every time America tries to raise its head from this muck which is universally disparaged by those stuck in its effect, some candidate successfully plays on our innermost fears and inclination to use hate as a motivator to such an extent that we find ourselves mired once again  ... and "politics as usual" prevails once again.

The problem this time is that this need for Hillary to win at all costs makes it more likely that John McCain, a very honest, good, yet fatally flawwed American hero, will be elected, and the policies that have shown the world that the US is really led by nothing more than a war-mongering, jingoistic cabal whose time as examples of "shining world leadership" has passed ... and the continuing bankruptcy of America will continue.  Trillions for a permissive war has literally taken a strong economy and irretrievably tipped it to the extent that no one outside of corporarte executives can fight out of the black hole of economic struggles.

Congratulations Senator, chosing this method to become the first woman president has assured that no parent will wish such "success" on any daughter!

Happy in Murfreesboro, what kind of argument is that? Hillary doesn't want to release her tax return yet because she just hasn't gotten around to it? Lol?

Hillary is a millionaire. She could have an army of accountants prepare her tax return in an hour if she wanted.

I find it's often a bitter struggle to stop myself from screaming at every idiot that posts an opinion.

Our own opinion blog:
http://www.nationalscold.com

are you people kidding me, the man answered the question over and over again, it will be released on or about April 15th, where are the rezko papers, if you are going to start asking people for their personal tax returns, we want your personal transaction information Obama don't want none of this, he will lose this fight for sure.

When will the American public figure out what low lifes the Clintons are?  The thought of those two again besmirching our White House is repellent.  Even as a staunch Republican my hope is that Barak Obama wins the Presidency. But if  Clinton takes the nomination, I'll again be voting with my party.

Didn't Obama talk about his connection to Rezko in one of the debates?  Wasn't there some limited amount of work done for him?  Was there also a question about a land deal that Obama answered questions about?  There are a lot of asked and answered questions here.  What about Clinton's materials?  What was released by the Clinton library or by the Senator herself?  What items in there are so vital that people must see?  

We have seen the softballing of Obama by the sexist media and helped him in his projection of freshness and inspiration to people  but Clinton has not let that dampen her spirits.She kept up the aggressivenss and her fighting spirit even amidst all her straight losses.And look how she was able to put a brake on Obama's momentum who had begun to sound like a cocky nominee for his party! Hope to see her in the White House soon with Obama as her VP which would be good for all!!

How is it negative to ask for something that he himself as already supplied.  Is it true or not that she has not released her 2006 tax forms?  I wouldn't call it negative to ask someone who wants to run our country, where does she get 5 mil to loan her campaign.   It is a legitimate question.  Just ask the mayor of Philly.  He provided his return.

http://www.philly.com/inquirer/multimedia/16255926.html

If you can not take the heat get out of the kitchen!
All of you Obama lovers can not stand the fact your mesiah is only human,and not that good of one at that.You all just keep saying what she is doing to the party is wrong.Maybe if Obama cared about the party he should back out.Oh I forgot it is okay to play dirty if you give a good speach.

I think it's time for Obama to hang up his sandals. It's quite obvious he can't win the big states. McCain will eat him up. With all the wonderful things starting to appear re: Obama, i.e.Farrakhan, NAFTA, Rezco, etc. and probably more to come, the same theatrical rhetoric is getting tired. It was fun listening to his followers last night. Even when it was noted Hillary won Texas, his homey on CNN said he wanted to wait because black voters were still voting at 10:10 Texas time. The votings over and they're moving on. If you think last night was bad, wait until you get to Pittsburgh, PA. SEE YA BARACK!!!!

I don't think attack politics are ever a good thing; however, lets be a little objective.
Last year's taxes are not required to be filed until April 15th of this year and after spending 63 million dollars to investigate Whitewater, Ken Starr and his Republican crew couldn't find any wrong doing by the Clintons, so they spread rumors. Believe me, if they could have found something, they would have prosecuted!  
Obama did go on record stating absolutely NO meeting ever took place between anyone from his campaign and Canadian officials, until the memo of that meeting was released.  Obama then recanted, stating he had not been informed about the meeting. Obama is the one that actually attacked Hillary via flyers regarding NAFTA in the first place; therefore, Hillary's campaign had every right to respond to what appeared to be blatant hypocrisy. Now lets stop with the viciousness and discuss issues.

I'm continously amazed at how gullible the media is...it's a strong signal that the eductational system in america is in vast need of improvement.

How can anyone even entertain the Clinton's position without breaking out in hysterical laughter. She should inquire about a full time writers position for SNL.

The reson the tax returns haven't been released is because their is something there...it's not rocket science. If she get's the nomination and releases them then the dirt doesn't stick it's either her or McCain you pick the lesser of two evils. The media just plays along like her lap dog. It's a sad thing to watch.

This morning she claims she opened borders on Kosovo...really?...prove it.

Obama gets 2 new delegates today one in Ohio and just now in GA.  The rollout begins.  Lets call it the BIG SQUEEZE OUT...update I hear it will be 75 new delegates total, 10 from Hillary.

By the end of the month he will have over 1900 total thats the goal.  Keeping PA close will put him over the top.  Game set match

Yes, fire back. 1. There is not requirement to release. 2. It was stated the would be released. 3.Obama is chasing a dead issue. 4. He didn't clarify until pressed hard the issue of his staffer meeting with the canadian. May have been a low level chat but they sat on it with a hope of it going away. 5. And, Obama still has not said he will abide by his promise to limit his campaign funds as John McCain has pointed out. Obama needs to be open about all and not just say he is open. The tax return is a non issue. Good for the Clinton team to remind the apparently forgetful Obama camp.

On or around April 15th. A lot of wiggle room here.  The Rizo tie has nothing to do with the Clintons releasing their tax returns. What do they have to hide? Also release Hillary's travle iteniary's while in the white house so we can judge her 35 years of expereince.  Hillary will probably claim she's a victim in this matter.

The only victim is transparency and the right of the voters to know the finacial dealings of Hillary and Bill. Oh and by the way Hillary is an adjunct political arm for John McCain. With the Obama of all three of us does not have experience to dirty politics she sure seems to be helping the Republicans in 2008.  

I thought I heard a comment by Hillary stating that this is the most civil political battle she can recall in recent years (my words). I certainly don't get that fuzzy feeling reading these comments...

all the people in ohio that vote for hillary dont they know a rat when they see one, hillary is nothing but power hungry woman,she is nothing but a dirty politician, and a dirty politician dont deliver, because they are only in it for personal gain and not about the people, hillary wants power so all the big state gave it to her, and of course they will not show their tax return, they dont want the public to see how much money bill clinton made with his business dealing in dubai., l.p. in vegas

Hillary tries to win playing dirty, especially in Texas you want to know who will really be answering the red phone at 3:00 a.m. if she is the president.  Probably someone like Monica Lewinsky since her decietful husband can't keep his pants zipped.

You Dummycrats are so stupid.  Every year you destroy your chances of winning by doing something stupid.  You'd think you would learn.  But no, yet again you stupidly vote for Hillary, and blindly buy into her line of crap of 35 years of experience.  

She didn't have a security clearance so she wasn't even "observing" when Bill was making decisions.  She's accomplished nothing.  I challenge you to list 5 things of substance she's accomplished.

You whine about Barack only making speeches and having no specifics, yet blindly don't notice that Clinton does the SAME THING.  She doesn't EVER talk specifics.  She talks in vague terms. She says they'll have a "committee" to discuss how to do these "solutions" she has.  She doesn't commit to anything.  Yet you dummycrats buy into it and destroy your chances of winning every time.

Hillary is a rabid dog that should have been put down already, but you dummycrats keep her around to tear up the only chance you had.  Now he's going to be wounded enough that he will probably not win the general.  And Hillary definately won't win, we will come out in force to make sure of that.  Just as we did in OH/TX to keep her around another 7 weeks to screw the race up.  She's pissed off so many Obamanics they wouldn't vote for her either.  You've taken out your only chance to win.  McCain was too nice to go after him, thanks for doing it for us.

Congrats President John McCain!

You dummycrats will never learn.

The super delegates want to end this thing....they will move to Obama gradually and run up the total next thing you know its over...you heard it here first.

BTW the majority don't like the Clinton's and feel they are bad for the party and Hillary has confirmed that.  They now plan to move her out of the way.  The Obama SD has already  begain to rise watch it slowly creep up.  When was the last time Hillary got a new SD...Duh!!!!!

What about this Paul character in California who has criminal charges pending against Hillary.  Hillary in Bill have to appear in court there on  finance fraud charges.  Maybe thats why the tax statements are not being released.

I asked a simple question on this blog about Peter Paul and you want post it.  But you will post racist overtones, that tells me a lot about MSNBC and this blog.  I will be writing the station to lodge a complaint.

The Clinton's must not have heard "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!"  The Clinton's have moving vans full of sleezy dealings, and we all know this, yet many of us still choose to support her/him. Wolfson knows that the Rezco story is not a story, yet he continues to throw it our there because he knows that the media will continue to cover it like it is a story.  The media should be ashamed of themselves and the way they bow to the Clintons.  What are you afraid of?  Why don't you start asking her to explain her past dealings?  We still don't have answers about the scum that went on in the White House the last time they were there.  And by the way, the only phone call she is going to get at 3am will be the secret service telling her where they found her husband!

WHAT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT IF EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY WOULD GIVE THEIR TAX STATEMENTS TO THE OBAMA CAMP, REPUBLICANS AND THE MEDIA. WHO IN THE (HELL) CARES ABOUT HILLARY'S TAX RETURNS THIS TAKES ALOT OF INTELLIGENCE OF THE OBAMA CAMP, REPUBLICANS AND THE MEDIA. WHY DON'T THEY ASK FOR JOHN MCCAIN'S, BUSH'S AND CHANEY'S TAX RETURNS, BECAUSE THE OBAMA CAMP, REPUBLICANS AND MEDIA DON'T HAVE ANY BACK BONE.

It is sad and pathetic that Senator Clinton, her campaign and her supporters think it is just fine that she cannot grow her supporters, she can only attack and hope to decrease Senator Obama's.  Check out those polls folks-- see any upward movement for Senator Clinton?  There isn't any.  

As for taking on the Republicans, Senator McCain has more class than Senator Clinton.  I don't think he would say "as far as he knew" Senator Obama was not a Muslim.  I might add that Senator Clinton actually attended Church with the Obama family.  Guess what folks?  The supposedly racist Church does let in white people -- Senator Clinton attended!  

Senator Clinton simply projects her own flaws onto Senator Obama and Senator Obama is still a relative unknown to many voters.  Just wait, as more people research, think and watch, Senator Obama's enthusiastic support will continue to grow.  Senator Clinton's will continue to shrink.

In the end, Senator Obama will defeat Senator McCain roundly.  Check out head to head match-ups.  Senator Obama does better against Senator McCain in California than Senator Clinton.  Senator Obama BEATS Senator McCain in Virginia; while Senator Clinton loses.  Senator Obama is within the margin of error in so-called red states like Kansas and Nebraska; whereas Senator Clinton is no where close to victory there.  Senator Clinton does do slightly better against Senator McCain in New York, but then Senator Obama also defeats Senator McCain in double digits in New York and Massachusetts.

Go to realclear politics, check it out.  Senator Obama can win 54%+ in a general election.  Senator Clinton would be lucky to get 50+.  Her unfavorables are simply too high.  Senator Obama will have coattails and extend Democratic representation in the House and Senate; on the otherhand, Senator Clinton will have no coattails, Republican turn-out will surge to stop her candidacy and Democrats might lose seats.

If people truly care about this Country they should let go of this ridiculous notion that it is Senator Clinton's "turn."  It is never anyone's turn.  Time to start speaking the truth.  If Senator Clinton can set forth a case for why she should be President, let her do so.  If she cannot, she should go home.  Attacking a fellow Democrat will only increase the chance that the Democratic party once more steals defeat from the jaws of victory.  It is not preparation for the Republican opposition; it is doing the Republican opposition's job and attempting to eliminate or discourage the millions of new Democratic voters brought in by Senator Obama.  Is this what Democrats truly want?  

She has been busy.  She will get around to it.  I haven't even begun to prepare my own tax forms and I know her schedule is MUCH more hectic than mine.
In good time--all in good time.

              HILLARY 08

Happy in Murfreesboro, TN


Now, this is humor, and shows the average intelligence of a Clinton supporter. Do you really think Hillary and Bill sit around the kitchen table and fill out their tax forms? What do you think, do they use the short form, or the long form? My guess is they even have someone to sign it for them.

Sharon thanks for the link. I'm an IL resident and believe me, the Chicago Trib looked at this in depth during Obama's senate run. If there was anything there, they would have found it.

It's just ironic that THE CLINTONS are using the same dirty tactics against Obama that were used against them in the 90's. If it was wrong then, why isn't it wrong now? Because in their world, you say anything and do anything to get what you want.

That's not the kind of presidential candidate I plan to vote for.

Happy, the problem is the fact that she has a full staff who can "prepare" that stuff for her... its not like she has to sit down and go over line by line like we do.... or does she so that she can make sure she blacks out the things we don't need to know.

This is hurting the credibility of Hillary big time.. not that she had much to start with.  The Obama camp should be asking about those tax return daily and it should become their new mantra.  What Is She Hiding?  (I can already see the t-shirts with that slogan)

The comparison to Rezko is laughable...  I think once the public gets a good look into the Clinton's closet, we will be shocked about her financial sources.

Oh, and the media needs to keep that issue alive.. it is sickening how they are all kissing up to Hillary and referring to last night as such a victory, when really all what happened was that she closed Obama's lead  by four delegates... such a triumph..

Why do we have to wait until April 15 to see Hillarys tax returns when they are simply available now? Why is it that the press is presuading the American people by saying, "I think this" and "I think that"? The presses JOB is to give us information NOT their opinions. ALOT of Americans are persuaded by an anchorman's thoughts. That alone shows how easily influenced society is today. So naive. Shame on the press and shame on Hillary for fighting dirty to win a nomination. You (Hillary) have shown the less easily persuaded American that you are a dirty fighter. The slow response to Obama's religion knowing he is not a mulim, when asked the question was totally uncalled for and a very low blow. Very desperate in alot of people's eyes. Yet, alot of others were influenced by it. You obviously don't care about the democratic party if you are willing to degrade an oponant on the same side as you. If you're fightinga dirty debate with a man who is trying to help the democratic party, what kind of dirty political tactics will you use on we the American people, "if" you become President?

Let me also say that it wasnt the commercial that helped her win. Look how much critisism it got in the press. It was the SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE skit. It showed the momentary human side of her. The 3am commercial, almost nobody liked. Not even people in her own campaign. All it got was negative feedback. Wake up people. Today for Hillary, Tomorrow for Obama.

Didn't Hillary once deduct from her taxes Bills underware that he gave to charity?

Don't your recall the a photo was produced on one of the network news shows with a picure of Bill, Hillary and Rezko!   Her response - I don't remember, I see so many people....so there may be ties that the Clinton's have with Rezko other than a small piece of yard....so they are attack Obama first....you know...cover up their own stuff in the kitty box before it smells.   You should NEver trust a Clinton....and now that you have voted for her and she won Texas and Ohio....I'm sure you will never see her again.. you were a headcount.

Hey Hillary-supporters, what is wrong with Hillary and Bill releasing their joint 2005 & 2006 tax returns now?  Nobody is even talking about 2007, how ignorant of the Hillary-supporters.  Releasing the joint 2007 tax return will be the sauce on the golden egg.  Bill's dealing with Sheiks and dictators in the Middle East while his wife sits in the Senate voting on the some these same issues will not look good.

Don't your recall the a photo was produced on one of the network news shows with a picure of Bill, Hillary and Rezko!   Her response - I don't remember, I see so many people....so there may be ties that the Clinton's have with Rezko other than a small piece of yard....so they are attack Obama first....you know...cover up their own stuff in the kitty box before it smells.   You should NEver trust a Clinton....and now that you have voted for her and she won Texas and Ohio....I'm sure you will never see her again.. you were a headcount.
