Why do you raise Hell about Obama's birth certificate, but are mute on Romney's refusal to release his tax returns?

Classic double standard. So much for fairness. Carry on.

Why do you raise Hell about Romney's Tax Returns, but are mute on Obama's refusal to release his:

Actual long-form birth certificate (NOT an easily-forged electronic copy of a short-form document that is not even officially accepted in Hawaii)
Passport files
University of Chicago Law School scholarly articles
Harvard Law Review articles
Harvard Law School records
Columbia University records
Columbia University senior thesis, “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament”
Occidental College records, including financial aid that he may have received
Punahou School records, where Mr. Obama attended from the fifth grade until he finished high school
Noelani Elementary School records, where Barack Obama attended kindergarten (according to the Hawaii Department of Education, students must submit a birth certificate to register - but parents may bring a passport or student visa if the child is from a foreign country)
Complete files and schedules of his years as an Illinois state senator from 1997 to 2004
Obama’s client list from during his time in private practice with the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill and Gallard
Illinois State Bar Association records


The non-issuance of the Occidental College records is especially pertinent. The United States Justice Foundation (USJF) served officials at Occidental College with a subpoena to produce records concerning Barack Obama’s attendance there during the 1980’s, because those records could document whether he was attending as a foreign national. Obama attended Occidental on a Fulbright scholarship - financial aid that is reserved for foreign students.


Classic double standard. So much for fairness. Carry on.

Obama released all he was required to release in 2008, and Romney has released all he is required to release in 2012. When Mitt says he has never paid less than 13%, I have no reason to doubt it. There are lots of very good reasons why people like him pay half the % paid by people like you. Make of it what you will.

Because we know that Romney is paying less tax than Warren Buffet's secretary.

Good for him if he is paying less. Do you not take all the legal deductions when you fill out your tax returns? I sure do. Or are like you like JB and think you are not paying enough in taxes and send in more than you owe........ oh wait.......nevermind.

While I am not one to be in the birther camp, I am a conservative so I'll take a shot at answering this.

In order to be president, one has to be a citizen of the United States. A birth certificate solves this issue.

There is no requirement to prove how much you have paid in taxes in order to run for president.
