A couple days ago they drilled down and signaled that the problem is in the tax returns from the 3 years before 2010. Obama can't go rooting through Romney's IRS records, but the 2009 amnesty was negotiated within the Executive Branch and not exclusively by the IRS. So the names on the amnesty list can legitimately be known to the White House.: smintheus ::https://www.blogger.com/profile/06280030649524520605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-5125397357057439682012-08-18T20:59:37.995-04:002012-08-18T20:59:37.995-04:00My money's on the amnesty too.

When I read this o...Yeah, Steve, I'm with you.<br /><br />When I read this on BJ earlier, that's exactly what I figured - no way that little thing is what he's hiding.<br /><br />And while you were away, you had to love his, 'Oh yeah, btw - I DID check my tax returns for the last 13 years, and, what do you know? I DID pay at least 13% every year! So, this issue is now resolved.'<br /><br />Yeah, ok, I'm buying that.<br /><br />I just can't believe that he believes we're ALL THAT stupid!<br /><br />He must be hoping that at least 24% of the people above the right's 27% base, is THAT stupid.<br /><br />If I'm Reid and Obama, I don't let up on this.<br /><br />Maybe he, or rather his accountants, in a year in which he didn't pay ANY taxes at all, figured out a way that he got a nice 6-or-7-figure return anyway.<br /><br />Let Sally Six-pack and Chip Chick fil-a figure out a way to digest that little bit of news, and still justify voting for Mittens.<br /><br />It's probably not that.<br /><br />But it's got to be PRETTY BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
