Son says Romney won't release tax returns until Pres. Obama releases “grades and birth certificate" [View all]

from ThinkProgress: http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/12/30/395912/craig-romney-suggests-his-father-wont-release-his-tax-returns-until-obama-releases-his-grades-and-birth-certificate/

Appearing in New Hampshire as a surrogate for his father, Matt Romney suggested to a group of voters that Mitt Romney would not release his tax returns until Barack Obama released “his grades and his birth certificate.”

Concord Patch has the video. Here’s a transcript:

Q: Will Romney eventually open his tax returns, so we can see what’s going on like most candidates will do and have done?

TAGG ROMNEY: We have no idea.

MATT ROMNEY: He has not said that he will not do it. He has also not said that he will. It’s a matter of time until that issue comes up because I think everyone has to get a chance to do that. So I don’t know the answer to that. I’m not sure he knows the answer to that. But he will do everything that he needs to do. He’s certainly not afraid of anything. Hiding anything. I heard someone suggest the other day that as soon as President Obama releases his grades and birth certificate and sort of a long list of things then maybe he’d do it."
