CNN

The point is what is she hidding. Follow the money. Hillary attemped to scoce point pushing the issue with Farrakhan's endorsement to take away attention on Bill Clinton and hers income.

We need to review what's going on Hillary is attempting to distract Amrican and sway or vote this is her last stand.

Not points was scored here.

Is Billary the new Rudy Guiliani ?

I didn't know Sen. Hillary was a good actress. Wow, she is good at switching her moods between mean and nice from day to day.

Hillary – Yes! for the Oscars.
Hillary – No! for a President.

Its about disclosure, this is just another example of how clinton represents the usual closed door/backroom Washinton we've been dealing with for decades. If she has nothing to hide, release the records. What a crock about not having time to put them together, one call to her accountant and they could be faxed in minutes. I'd rather she just said no than mislead us into thinking she'd ever be honest.

Noella works for Billary. Dont be fooled.

The Tax Returns will show where she's getting all her money from i.e. Special Interest Groups which are giving her money so she can later do them favors. And Obama has released his Tax Returns, that's why we're all waiting on Clinton.

Yes, Obama has released his tax returns.

Hillary's biggest Ohio supporter Gov. Ted Strickland ridiculed his opponent for not releasing tax returns in that state's Governor race.

It's pretty straight forward request, politicians release tax records prior to voting.

Hillary and Bill's tax information shouldn't be that hard to release, unless they don't want sources of income to be publicly known at the moment.

No she won't, she was trying to get of the hook on the debate.

She'll release her tax returns as soon as her team of accountants cook the books sufficiently.....

And has anyone noticed how Clinton keeps saying that being President is going to be "hard work"? Two things; 1st that is a built in excuse for accomplishing nothing. 2nd, it sounds very familiar to what our current President says "It's hard work!!" ugggh.

Some one stick a fork in Hillary, she is done.
Glad we Americans are smart enough to see that.
Hope the Dems who support her realize if she gets the nod, they will lose in Nov. Maybe they don't care?

Everybody leaving remarks on this site , and I include myself . has already made their mind up who they are going to vote for . I really doubt anything comment we leave here is going anyones mind . Be greatful you have a vote .

Hillary 08

$5 bet...no nomination...no income disclosures.

noella: Wake up, yes Obama released his taxes!

bubbysboy: They did have to question him because he doesn't have such a negative flip flop history like Hilary!

Bill Jay: You are just retarded. You are like some of the other typical Clinton supporters that make comments with no substance other than "Go Hilary"

Please take a look at Obama's mansion. In is on the republican's website. He bought a $500k land adjacent to his $1.7M house for $100k. What kind of a deal is that? Shouldn't he answer why? CNN, please ask that question.

She has certainly made it much harder for the next woman to be considered a serious contender for the White House. Between her whining and her taunting her "experience" as her qualification, She has shown consistent poor judgment .Both Bill and Hillary bringing race ,however sneaky, into the campaign will forever be part of their legacy.
She has done absolutely nothing of value to anyone except Bill and Bush.

She will release them when she is the nominee?

When does she expect to be the nominee?

At the current rate of her lightning fall from grace to disgrace, she will never become the nominee so she will never release her tax returns, which will show Bill's overseas connections, thanks to his NAFTA deal.

Think about it . The ? is why wont she disclose her taxes . I'm willing to bet majority of there income is directly benefited via NAFTA .
I just wish Obama went after her a little more on some of the hard questions ,the way she went at him. Then again he dose not want to look like as difficult as Mrs. Hillary Angry Clinton

Clinton = Clinton
Her Election = More Money For Her Memoirs

Hillary constantly thinks for herself, not for our country.

Sure, release them, don't just talk about releasing them.

they got their money from book revenues and bill's public speaking. this is common knowledge. people have been scrutinizing their income for 20 years. it's not a secret!!

Keep your tax returns. You said you will release your tax returns once you become the nominee–that's not going to happen. Take your tax returns and go back to NY

See ya.

O/08

No doubt: Mrs. Clinton is the best … in concealment!

Keep your tax returns Hillary. You said you will release them upon becoming the nominee. That's not going to happen. So take your tax returns and go back to N.Y.

See ya

O/08

What is she waiting for? She's hiding something and Americans should wake up.

Go Tim Russert, Go Obama, and by the way the Clintons are liars!

I hope the media holds her to this.

That was Washington for 'I am not releasing my returns'.

And Noella : Yes, Barack Obama released his returns to the public. Neither Billary nor the Republicans could find anything to spin in that.

Every other candidate, including Romney, has released their tax returns, Hillary is the only one who hasn't.

I don't think she has has anything to hide, I really dont, but her contempt for media makes her a very private person, and when you are running for president you cannot be a private person...

...that is why media is sometimes unfair to her.

She needed to be friendly with the media, not shun them.

For those of you who keep saying 'who cares about her tax returns' - it's about more than just the numbers, it's about being transparent. It's about being honest and upfront. As elected officials, we should want to know that they are being upfront about their dealings..... to shy away from it suggests otherwise.

She should have done this a long time ago. The questions about the origin or her and her husband's money and the funding for the Clinton Presidential Library are directly relevant to the question of her fitness for office. People want to know who may have undue influence with her? Any foreign governments? Even if there isn't an issue here, she allowed it to linger by not addressing it earlier.

She will never release those papers!!! she will go to jail if she does!!

If not Hillary Clinton then John McCain. Barack is a media myth that needs to fade into the sunset. No reasonable person would want him to president of the USA.

Noella asked "Did Barack release his tax returns ?"
Yes. He released them at the end of last year.

His opponent ?

No comment.

Billary was evasive on releasing her tax returns–which are important because that would show where a lot of their millions are coming from–and in cagey fashion (appropos for her) she would release them soon, because she's so busy now running for president. Well, she wasn't so busy back in November, when she was declaring herself to be the presumptive nominee. We'll never see those returns, just as we'll never see the White House papers that tell all about her eight years of vast experience as first lady. When "Saturday Night Live" spoofs her this weekend, she'll just turn the focus around to how SNL is now part of the media bias. She's history....

I know this is not what everyone wants to hear but Hillary is really getting better looking everytime i see her she is becoming very striking.
To night Hillary really shined. She was focused like a laser beam on every issue.
Hillary is strong ready to stand and fight for whats right!!
I see her like a Joan Arc...! I also thought Obama did well. He will be a good V.P

Hillary does not want to talk about that 10 million the Saudi's gave her. That was the only way she could loan her campaign that money. Hillary owes everybody, the Clinton's are broke, busted, and disgusted. It's time to call it quites.

Go Obama!!!

I think Obama is getting special treat by the media. He is treated like the man who can do no wrong.

Obama is a loser and so is the Democratic party. McCain will be the next president of the USA because the media has created an Obama myth that is not credible! Many Dems including me will vote for McCain before voting for the Obama scam.

Open your eyes Barack Obama supporters – read what the UK
papers are saying about Obama's campaign contributions from
Renko in Chicago.
Why are the news agencies not persuring this? This a huge story!
He danced all around the Farrakan question – just say NO
I don't want your support, its that easy.
He has not one original word that has not been borrowed from someone else.
Texas, Vermont, Ohio & Rhode Island >>Vote for someone with Solutions, who will fight for you and will respect your rights!
VOTE HILLARY!!

how about $10 thousand a month tax payer payer her mortgage and earmark $almost 400 million to her cronies in NY to buying vote?

ON BARRACKS TAX FORMS. ALL THE DIRTY MONEY HES TAKEN LIKE EVERY POLITICIAN.

Like Senator Clinton has said, " Action speaks louder than words" at Austin ... she has a lot to prove... especially, about her tax return. Being perspective and observant, watching both Senator Obama and Clinton... I had to "pretend" that they are speaking to me directly, because I could decide better who to vote for because of how they treat each and every one of us. and how they treat toward each other in a debate is how they will treat the rest of our country. Therefore, Action do, indeed, speak louder than words!

Obama has a lot to hide. Where are his tax records? We were going to Obama, thank goodness we say this debate because we are now for Hillary. She debates about real issues. Did anyone notice how Obama had almost no knowledge on foreign affairs......She has a lot.
Way to go Hillary!! Hillary Clinton, Comander and Chief..sounds great!

Willie, which debate did you watch? because everyone thought Hillary looked silly for trying to pick words. Obama just took the high road. Good job Obama for remaining calm all night. Great temperament.!!

CNN please post this for once!! Please

nooooooooooo way....how about some furniture in WH she took home?I've seen a video of her talking to the executives in silicone valley, saying she wants to remove the cap on H1-B visas. Then she comes to Cleveland and says she wants to stop jobs from going over seas. How can you do both?

In tonight's debate Hillary Clinton keep saying, "I'm a fighter" and I think that's the whole point. It takes diplomacy not fighting to get cooperation and get things done and that has been Barack O'Bama's strength and will continue to be. He's got the edge on her!

Wow!!!!!! Hold the press. Ain't we lucky. We would much appreciate it, if she would just go home and take Bill. We have had her kind of politics for half a century and we, our economy and our spirit in general have had it.

Wow, it's funny how she decides to finally release her tax returns now, after months and months of refusal. It's almost as if she's willing to say or do anything to win.

Yeah, she is so done. Can't take anything for granted, but I think Obama has this. Her true colors came through in the end. Now, hopefully he will easily take McCain as he has the Clintons.
GOOOOOOOOOO Obama!!

shows she has something hide as it relates to all of the clinton overseas investments and spending.....maybe something the american people would not approve of focourse.

Why would we want to wait til she got the nomination, after we are stuck with her,,,,,

Actually, all employers, investment companies, mortgage providers, etc. would have sent all the end-of-year tax forms to her no later than Jan 31, 08.(it's the law).
Why is it taking her long to file? Her accountant can get it done in one (1) day.

It's not that I care about her tax returns, I just don't appreciate people thinking we are stupid, or easy to manipulate.

Just another example of how, with so many important issues out there, the moderators were more involved with insignificant minutia that politics.

It wasn't that important until she loaned herself money. There are campaign finance laws for a reason. An individual is not allowed to give more than $2,300 to a campaign, so where this $5 million came from is suddenly very important. The fact that she does not want to tell us is rather scary.

It amazes me how the American people can think of such petty issues to argue over especially when serious issues like health care and the economy is in need of such drastic changes. I want to hear true debate issues.Yes Obama speaks change but he does not convey through his speeches of how he will bring about change. I hear alot of talking around the issues but no direct answering of those questions.

Next week we will come to know through the court how much money Obama made on his house deal after that he talk about his tax return

Yes Noella – Barack did release his tax returns. This is why the question was not asked of him as well.

Molly, According to President Clinton's 2006 disclosure, each speaking engagement is listed and he made between $150K-$250K per event.... So between their two books and President Clinton's speaking engagements, they have made quite a bit of money.

Just like Obama was given a 1.2M advance on his book. And even if Obama isn't the nominee, he'll make millions telling everyone about the campaign experience that we all paid for!

She says she will fight for the people. But all those oney that her husband gets and what her camgpain gets from lobbyist would show diffrent.

I like how Bill has an oversea account that they don't want to disclose, how much do clintons get from NAFTA?

A person's tax returns say a lot about them.

Hillary says she's for the working american ... but yet, she makes a lot of money *consulting* for the *big companies* ... The two don't mix because corporations don't care about the poor and blue-collar americans.

What happened to all the shrill "shame on you"?

Laura Johnson, Did you watch the debate tonight? Even if Obama were the nominee, the Republicans can't wait to get a hold of him. Bill Cunningham started the attack today. I just wonder if Obama will agree with MCcain.

i imagine many hillary supporters turned off the debate tonight after she got booed again. they just don't want to admit he's the better candidate.

Bill JAy:

Hillary will not approve gay marriages

As with sports, blame the refs. Can't everyone see the clinton/bush ticket needs to be punched and i do mean punched out.

Go Hillary all the way.

Ask for MI an FL to be counted.

Does this mean that he also rejects/denounces his church and pastor of 20 years? He could have always gone to any other church!

The debate seemed to be more of an interview of meet the press. Why was this question even asked?

Honestly, who cares about her tax returns?? There are much more important issues to debate.

I think Tim is so mean to Hiliary. He acted like questioning her all the time,but too nice to Obama. I will never watch Tim's meet the press.

Did Barack release his tax returns? What's on his tax returns?

I shut off the debate because I am sick and tired of the media always questioning Hilary and never her opponent – I can't even speak his name!

I know Obama took the high road and my number one point is that " if Hillary thinks reject is stronger than denounce, then i will reject and denounce" That was unbelievable

The point is, she does not have to release them.

All this is is smoke to make her look kinder and genteler. I would suspect after she supposedly won her tune woudl change like with nafta and cafta, and taxes, and the war.

"I will work hard to release them" clinton direct quote equals I will pretend to try till you little slaves forget, or there is new brittany footage

She'll release her return. Yeah, right.

I am so proud of the way Barack Obama won every single issue here tonight. He was WONDERFUL!!!!

She is a very very rich woman. Yes, she is well taken care of, will be fine with all the special interests behind her . Oh, yes with Bill Clinton's who knows how investment deals with the Arabs and speeches all over the world. They thought he had something to say

She's certanly not the candidate that represents change: "I will do it as others have done it..." She represents secrecy.

She is a fighter. She is fighting for the same cronies that are sponsoring her campaign.

This was a good debate. Hillary really shined.Obama seamed to agreed with a lot of what Hillary was saying.

Hillary Clinton our First Women President. It sounds so good.

Just a comment.
Clinton claims experience and ready from day one.
Both Obama and Clinton have the same resume ie us senators.
Clinto has added only that she was with the other Clinton in the white house. Well so was Monica.
And as for accomplishments the only thing i know of that Mrs. Clinton tried was Health care. Didn't she fail?
The only other indicator is her campaign. That sure was mismanaged.
As for character, she seems like a mean spirted person.
Thats all folks

She's trying to get them together but she's too busy? Are we actually supposed to believe that? People have been calling for her to release these tax returns for quite some time now. She clearly has something to hide. HILLARY BELIEVES WE'RE ALL A BUNCH OF FOOLS!!!

Hilarity Clinton WON'T release them until she gets the nomination.
Anything else is a LIE.

Is it just me? or did anyone else just notice that Hilarity just steped all over the First Amendment rights of People?????

The Lewis Farakon discussion where "people shouldn't be allowed to say......"

Oh my my my. If I had ANY doubts about Hilary they are all resolved.

ANy Democratic candidate that says 'people shouldn't be allowed to say' is NOT the candidate that cares about peoples right.

The are probably loaded with income from INSURANCE COMPANIES that will benefit from her garnishing wages of poor people.

Taking mighty long to release the papers. Do I think they will surface anytime soon? NO

LOL she DID NOT SAY BEFORE. She is sooo slippery. She will NEVER do it before, she just wants us to THINK she might so people will back off or feel comfortable and vote for her.

ANYONE who is still dim enough to believe this please stand up. I can't believe anyone will!

now or never, to avoid controversy why not now. so much accountability and transparency. hilary said " this election is about the future ...." " my experience gives me the edge". can someone please tell where are we going ? future but experience. stop the politics of convience, and be truthful to the people. disclose now if you have nothing to hide.

She's not a candidate that represents change: "I will do it as others have done it..."

Did anyone notice that the MSNBC live web stream absolutely sucked for 2/3's of the debate. It was like trying to listen to a horribly scratched CD.

As far as the reports she's had on hand for a month about what she did as first lady, why doesn't billy wave em around? Why not?

Hillary Hillary Hillary
Best ever

Maybe Obama should release how he got a house at $300,000 below the cost, bought the same day as his next door neighbor the slum landlord who finances his campaign. Oh yeah, and why it took him 20 years to pay off college loans: maybe the interest rate was lower than that of his Mercedes???

The MSNBC debate was awesome!!!! Hillary nailed Obama. Thats right Obama!! A woman forced you to finally say, "Ok, I reject him". MSNBC debates are really good. They really get in your face on everything. Obama was so frustrated. LOL!!!!

What is she afraid of? Did anybody not guess she is in the upper 1% of American incomes? Her husband makes hundreds of thousands of dollars for a speaking engagement. She's written books that people read solely to find out what a former first lady had to say. She bought a million dollar house months before the NYS elections so she could qualify for residency. I'd say she makes close to $15Mil last year.

Why did she loan herself the money instead of donating it anyway? If she "loans" the money if she loses the nomination she can pay herself back from her general election donations. I guess she doesn't believe in her campaign as much as she says.

I dont care if she EVER releases them. Find a new topic to harp on for petes sake. Do you want everyone to see your tax returns – is it really that important – dont you think it was more critical she can actually get you good health care coverage – you people are so petty.

Hillary you are the best of the best...............................

This is stupid. She doesn't have to release her tax records to the morons of the US. If you want to see her records so bad, start a website and post yours first or shut up.

I think the question rests in the Clinton's investments abroad, especially when Bill so championed free trade.

So yes, a 5 million donation is a pretty hefty donation considering these folks have spent a lifetime in public service, not exactly known for it's high salaries.

Go Girl....................................................you are the best

Love you Hillary.................................08.......................................................

You were great tonite.

Michele, its true, it looks like she wasn't ready on day one to reveal her tax returns.

The reporter neglects to note that she hesitated before adding "or earlier" to that statement – and that she only ceded because of the pressure. The majority of her response to that question made it clear that she didn't intend to do it until she became the nominee – and definitely not before next Tuesday's election. Her final remark about not having the time is evidence that she'll purposely never find the time to release it. It's all just political BS.

Hillary's done!

we are talking about the possible next Commander in Chief..... Obama has had NO problem with such issues which is why he was not asked the questions... she however is being secretive... REMEMBER.......in light of the fact that one of these people could be the next Commander in Chief, we need to know WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT....which makes it relevant ( Chaunda)

When did we as a people give up the notion of voting in a plan as opposed to voting in a politician? Politicians talk about plans, they try to sell their plan, yet we never truly know the details of the PLAN. Why can’t they all unveil their plans on a predetermined date and time, so we the public could critique the plan. Do they really even have a plan? What qualifies a politician for developing a plan towards health care or economics for that matter? The individuals qualified to formulate plans for the various areas that need attention don’t currently work for that candidate do they? Wouldn’t that make for a great debate? Imagine it…. Potentially, 10 or more plans from 10 or more candidates. The top minds of our nation could look over these plans. Candidates could adopt each others plans and in the end the perfect personality for the perfect plan could be chosen.

Isn't it interesting how people know all Obama and his wife's business??? Would be nice to be able to quote the same numbers about the Clintons. By the way – Obama's house – 1.6 million. Full disclosure baby. How much do you think student loans for 2 ivy league Bachelors degrees and 2 Ivy League law degrees cost?? Quite a bit.

i am not expecting to see it because she will never be the nominee.

YEAH RIGHT!!!!

Who cares? Really this is a ridiculous issue. Yeah the Clintons are rich. Who did not know that? When did it become an issue. Obama's wife is according to reports, making 300,000/year at a job she is on hiatus from. Must be nice. And she is talking about not being able to pay back student loans? Does not sound very fiscally responsible. BTW nice house the Obamas have. How much you pay for that?

Presidential as always!
