Seems like I remember just a few weeks ago (or earlier this summer) they were touting HER as the one person he could count on to help us "know him better"....to humanize him....and to help rid us of the impression that he is cold, stiff and humorless.

WOW! If she is the antidote to that, gak! She looks just as uptight and uncomfortable as him when she is talking about their tax situation. After watching that interview, I have a very sneaking suspicion thatthere is more that they are not telling us----a LOT more.

Just release the returns and we'll be judge of whether they have anything to hide. We do not and SHOULD NOT have to take their word for it. They would not tolerate that from the Obama side and, in fact, would be floating rumors that they are hiding something.
