Has Obama released tax returns?

What nonsense?

Many sources cite Obama, long before he was a Senate or Presidential candidate, as having first-hand stated he was from Kenya.

Harvard's own literature, which they had a small-time publisher produce (pamphlets, for which the publisher said individuals submitted their own bio information), states that Obama is Kenyan.

There's a lot of evidence that Obama described himself as being from Kenya for most of his life, including during his professional career.

The immature and unprofessional thing to do is to discount all of this evidence because it's a "dead" issue which only "crazies" ever talk about.

If it's so dead and everyone talking about it is so crazy, there'd be refutations of the multitude of testimony (including many professionals who don't take their livelihoods lightly) clearly recounting Obama's own statements that he's from Kenya.

Harvard's own literature clearly states that he's from Kenya. He was there for years. He never objected to supposed inaccuracies on their part or corrected them. There's testimony that he wrote such inaccuracies himself.

Nobody cares. Nobody is going to do anything about it (we abandoned the law long ago) even if the evidence is addressed. But there's nothing wrong with addressing the evidence. Demagoguery doesn't make a point, it highlights the fact that factual evidence is being ignored.

I have no problem with the discussion. But ignoring multitudes of testimony in favor of demagoguery is just admission that a lot of people lied a lot, one way or the other.

"A credible source told me this."

that claim is void if you don't disclose the source. At least, that's how it goes among us historians..

Somebody had a good point...

If Romney didn't pay taxes for 10 years the IRS would be after him for tax evasion.   Democrats wouldn't be trying to embarass him, they'd see he was indicted and prosecuted.  It happened to Nixon's VP Spiro Agnew.

But what if the Democrats are the criminals?  What if a Democrat committed the felony of opening Romney's tax returns? 

If they found something they think will embarass Mitt Romney, they can't release it for the public to look at, without confessing to felonies.
Charles Colson did 2 years for looking at Democrat tax returns to help Nixon get re-elected.

The only person who can lawfully publish Mitt Romney's tax returns...is Mitt Romney.

Harry Reid is the basis for the crooked Gaming commission chairman played by Tommy Smothers in the movie "Casino" and the exchange between DeNiro and Smothers in the movie is taken nearly verbatim from video of the actual shouting match between Ace Rothstein and Harry Reid when Reid killed Rothstein's license application
