Are you serious? Obama is the only person who can lead this country in the right direction. Hillary is selfish and is trying to steal this the same way Pres. Bush did last time. I actually respected her before this campaign, but after I have seen her sneaky/nasty tactics, there is no way that I can vote for her. She should be uniting the Democratic Party; instead she's a selfish, self centered, ego-maniac. She's only wants to win. She's not concerned with the people of this country or party.

Let's see. Why hasn't she released her tax returns and Bill' mercantile connection to Dubai. Could it be because she is a venal woman?
's

Let's get real!

Hillary is running on her 'experience' and her 'solution' making abilities.

As for experience - Why is she unable to find a solution for releasing White House papers from the time she was First Lady? She, on one hand, can she claim her time in the White House qualifies her, and on the other hand refuse to let the public have access to documentation. Is this her hope - if it is out of site, people won't know???!!!

As for solutions - it is clear that she refuses to find a solution to the continual problem of sharing her tax returns with the American public. In the last debate, she indicated soon and yet, she is hesitating. What is she afraid of? If she has nothing to hide, she should come clean.

As for experience - She argues that her time in the White House qualifies her. Isn't that kind of like claiming that if are married to and live with a surgeon and even work in the office - you, in turn - are qualified to do surgery. SCARY!!!!!

Lastly, where can I get a copy of all the lobbyist money she has taken for her campaign? I would like to know who will actually be running the Clinton White House with all this expereince and background and transparency!

As much as I hate to see Obama go negative, I think he has no other recourse considering the attacks the Clinton campaign launched this past week. I think they subjectively played the race card, amongst a host of other rhetorical and slanderous tactics, but it worked as it has for the Clinton's ever since they went public.
If the next month or so is going to come down to who can go most negative, I'd submit that Clinton will win hands down.
It's a sad thing actually, that Obama, who stands for peace and prosperity, security for ALL Americans is going to have to body slam Clinton in order to get his fair share.
I don't complain about the media much, but this past week of drivel reported by CNN and other major news networks in order to bash Obama is despicable. It's obvious the media laid in wait and launched their negative attack against Obama just as it would remain fresh in the voters minds. This act by the media ought to be condemned by all candidates in all parties.

Look under the bed. Find the hidden agenda. Look in the closet and smell the dirty laundry. Look between your ears, Obama. Is it scary there?

Obama was challenging Clinton on experience, Iraq judgement and Tax issues before Tuesday(03/04) and he is still doing that. Obama needs to do some Reality check as he was overconfidently saying "Clintons will fail and opposite happened". He need to change his strategy.

On experience, Iraq judgement and Tax issues:
1. If I accept Obama's argument about Clinton on experience, then What does Obama have to offer? Speeches for Hope.

When will "Church of Obama" understand that they will need to do more?

With this old petty politics, Obama do not offer anything different from old Washington Politics.

Obama should take this as a challenge for his judgement and make wise decision instead of chasing something that may not results in anything.

2. Common Sense tells Hillary would not have entered the presidential race if there was anything to hide in her Tax records as Clintons are quite aware of implications and the boundaries of the Presidency. So, start thinking of "Plan B" in advance to react after the Clintons disclose their tax records or you will start noodling inside that records again and loose focus.

3. Consider that Voters are ready to see beyond Iraq war.

- two cents for Obama

We already know the Clintons will sell us out for a buck; when the tax returns are revealed we'll see how much she got for our interests. Isn't anyone else curious how much she's made and how she made it? I wonder how much a presidential pardon is worth in the Hillary Clinton presidency… Or how much the Lincoln bedroom will rent for in 2009?

I was happy that Clinton came on CNN today and explained what she meant by 'experience.' I would love it if Obama would explain what he meant by 'change.' Since his entire campaign is about 'change,' it would be nice if he could give some specifics. I understand that it is easy to talk in generalities, because that way it is easy for people to be inspired by you. If you talk in such a way that people can attribute to you any ideas they like, then you can be quite inspiring. It is alos hard for opponents to attack you and it is hard for people to lose faith in you otherwise because anything you say can be construed to conform to what you want it to conform to. Clinton put her neck on the line today. It would e great if Obama had the courage to do the same. I just hope Obama actually means something by 'change,' and is not just trying to win votes on a completely vacuous platform.

How can anyone trust her? How can you believe a single word she says? Where did all that Clinton wealth come from? Who does she owe money to? Who will she let decide her policies for the next 4 years if she is elected?

Oh my…poor Barack, he is so scared of losing. What a pathetic pot shot.

Obama you are a political activist, not presidential material.

Why will she not release the particulars surrounding her 5 Million Dollar campaign loan .? Is she above the law or the voters?

The Clintons already have 15 years of tax records in the public domain.

Where are Obama's 15 years of tax records?

Instead of making personal attacks, Obama needs to release details on his financial dealings with Rezko and his schedule regarding Rezko and Rezko's fundraising for Obama.

What happened to "I won't go negative" and "I'm taking the high road"?!?

How about his Rezko connection?

How about his advisor talking to Canada, and lying about it??

Hillary has the MO now - oBLAHma can't handle it.

SOLUTIONS, NOT SPEECHES!

CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!

Financial Disclosure Reports
House and Senate members must file annual financial disclosure reports with the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate, respectively, that describe the sources, types and amounts of income they earn. The reports are due May 15 and typically are made available to the public in early June. washingtonpost.com will be posting annual reports as it obtains and scans them.

Each disclosure report is available in PDF format.

2006 reports
2005 reports

For those who love to bring the Paul connection to Clinton here is a note - "An audit by the Federal Elections Commission found that neither Senator Clinton nor her Senate campaign had accepted any illegal funds in connection with the Hollywood fundraiser."

He donated to her campaign because he was trying to attrack Bill Clinton for Stan Lee Media. Since all the lawsuits against Hillary Clinton were thrown out, he decided to release 13 minute video about her that repackages a series of seven-year-old false claims about Senator Clinton that have already been rejected by the California state courts, the Justice Department, the Federal Election Commission, and the Senate Ethics Committee.

You should also know that Mr. Paul has a history of criminal activity, and that when Hillary Clinton, having only been around him briefly for fundraising in 2000 found that out, she cut all ties to him and returned the money he donated to her campaign.

Unlike Senator Obama and his Resko relationship, Senator Clinton didn't know this individual and when she found out about him, she cut all ties with him.

Obama on the other hand, remained friends with Resko for 20 years.

Someone said they wanted to see Obama's earmarks but who cares? Hillary Clinton is one of the senate's top 10 earmark recipients, securing more than $340 million worth of home-state projects.

They both would be fodder for McCain.

LET IT GO!!!

SHE WON AND WE WANTED HER

LET IT GO! YOU LOST, HE LOST AND THANK GOD FOR THAT!!

the hot air balloon captained by Barry S. is floating away…..ha! ha! ha!

Faced with many legitimate questions about Senator Obama's long-time relationship with indicted political fixer Tony Rezko, the Obama campaign has chosen to lash out at Senator Clinton.

Here are the facts:

Over 20 years of the Clintons' tax returns are in the public domain.

Their tax returns since they left the White House will be made available on or around April 15.

This information will be in addition to 15 years of uninterrupted public financial disclosure reports.

Instead of making false attacks, we urge Senator Obama to release all relevant financial and other information related to indicted political fixer Tony Rezko.

On or around April 15th is unacceptable! Most of the country will have already voted by then and if those returns show evidence that Hillary & Bill have been profiting from the war in Iraq through foreign investments, it will be too late for the American public to send her a clear message that we will not support a candidate who is profiting financially from the wars in Iraq & Afganistan. She is definitely hiding something or she would have made them public when Obama released his. She opened herself up to more scrutiny by demanding closer scrutiny of Obama by the media. The same should hold true for her. And what about the White House documents that the Clinton's are stalling the release of? Hillary has a lot of skeletons in her closet that she doesn't want the public to see during this primary. The media has a responsibility to the public to press for the release of all those documents immediately.

Hillary started the negative attack campaigning, and according to exit polls Americans responded. So now the playing field has to be leveled if that what Americans respond to. However I must say Obama's Negative route is still in no way nasty and is only looking for hard facts. He looks bad here if there is nothing to hide so there is a risk.

I want to know what is Hillary hiding?
If not Obama - it has to be McCain….
Republicans hate Hillary
Independents like me hate Hillary

When it comes to Hillary . I have seen people on defensive .. we should have seen this coming why should OBAMA not attacking. At the end she has started the whole mess. Hillary deserves to taste her own medecine.

GO OBAMA… YOU DESERVE THE NOMINEE.

OBAMA 08

Just what is Hillary's great experience??? So far no one has answered this. In the meantime, all I've seen is someone who'll cry or throw a hissy fit when the going gets tough - that will work well as Commander-in-Chief.

And just remember, the last time the Clintons released tax returns, they conveniently omitted Hillary's shady $100K commodity trade gain. As for her tax returns not being and issue TBR??? Where have you been. This has been raised for months by Obama and the Wall Street Journal, among others. This is not new. Unfortunately, Obama is learning the reality of going against a "ya gotta do what ya gotta do" Clinton. The amazing thing is the indignation from those who excel in such tactics.

I would agree; Why do Americans who have lost their jobs and are stuggling to pay their bills believe Mrs. Clinton will do anything for them??? She and Bill are millionaires several times over and can hardly relate to not being able to pay the bills. … as John Stossel says: "Give me a break!"

I really don't care about either of their tax returns. What I care about is who is best equipped to clean up the mess that W and the GOP has created.

Hillary has so much baggage. I wonder why the press doesn't cover that. Also many polls show that 36% of the population strongly dislike this person. Is that someone we want to have the nomination?

Obama plays dirty Chicago games again, again and again. There is no change!

All Obama does is talk talk talk…He talks of change but has he has not given any soultions. He reminds us all constantly about Hillary voting for the war…Has he forgotten that Bush was the one who duped the Amercian people. I want experience. It is inevitable with experience comes change

She "loaned" her campaign 5mil? So I guess she will want it back with interest, musta learned that from Countrywide.

I belive it will be in the best interest of Obama to be vice president to Clinton that way he will be in the white House for 16 years. This ticket will benefit the world. He will get 8 years of experience and then he will be able to rule very smoothly for another 8 years and the world will stand by him. thank you

Support Hillary, she is the next one who bring the country with hope and help the country back to the center of the world.

Folks lets not forget Barack has won more states, more delagates and the the majority votes. He won 12 states in a row…27 states in all more…By big margins!!!! Americans want change not scandals…

All I need to say is what Bill said "I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMAN" Is Hillary the same about telling the truth ???????

Obama/ Clinton, maybe only if she denounces martha steward, release her taxes, retakes her final exams that she cheated on in undrergrad, and plays all the puplic ememy songs at her speaches.
anything short of that then my vote is for Obama/Mccain.

What do they mean she win big? Obama have won 29 states and she only 13 states. Senator Obama paly this woma game, she have more dirt., you don't have any. She celebrated yesterday for winning 3 states as if it was the general election. Obama won 11 states, there no such celebration. Very petty Hillary.

Do we need a President who hides her tax returns? My family has already decided to vote for McCain if Hilary turns out to the the nomintee. We need a President with integrity, honesty and with no ethnical issues.

disclosure of earnings is very important when in politics. just look at the crap hillary pulled about camgiagn contributions. im sure if you people check her records you will find many discrepancies in her and bills reporting.

wake up americans expecially the people who have not yet voted.
do some searching into the clintons background, everthing from stealing goverment property. thinking you are above the law and can do anything they want. and when caught the famous answer it didn,t happen.

if the average american did half the stuff the clintons did,,,,, we would be locked up and the key thrown away

How in the world does Hillary Clinton think Obama needs her to win the general election? He doesnt.

She is the one who would need him to win the general election. I usedf to have respect for Hillary and Bill before all the desaperate win at all cost tactics that have pulled in the last few weeks.

If Barack chooses Hillary as his running mate. I just wont vote. I will spit on both of them.

Obama 08

We want Hillary for president. She is the come back kid of all time

Geez…. you Hill-Billy fans! Once you get a few quote, unquote "wins" yesterday, you think you own the world and have all the steam. Lets start with the wins….

Look at few months ago and tell me how much she was up on Obama…..look at last night. I think she won, but by the tiniest of margins. She is a Clinton! She should have mopped him and took him to school!!! Instead, she won Texas by 3 and Ohio by 10 to a very young senator. Doesn't look like her supposed experience is getting it done. Anyone with the name Clinton, Kennedy, Rockefeller, etc should mop anyone up in a heartbeat. Good luck Hill-Billy…. alienate the states he is winning by saying they aren't important.

Hill-Billy doesn't have any momentum….she just slowed him down. All you fools that think she has momentum are wishful thinkers.

Second…. those of you who are claiming that he is going negative, pay attention! She has been going negative for about a month now. "Kitchen sink politics" ring a bell? I would think that if you are going to president, you need to be open with yourself and to others. Shes keeping the tax returns under wraps because she is probably hiding something…. otherwise she would have been gracious and let people know.

Don't claim that he is going negative and making fun of him when there is more blood on your hands!

The Obama Campaign is being outfoxed by Clinton, who suggests that he join the ticket as VP. The only way to counter that is to say that he is only… and SOLEY.. interested in the top spot.

In this day and age, almost everyone who applies for a job is required to submit to a background check. This is for any job that requires any level of integrity. If the teller at a bank has to disclose pertenient info,should not we require a possible future leader to be totally out front, at the time they are appling for the job. To wait till after the job is given, or won in this case, is very similar to the last time the Clintons were elected to office. Remember that scandal..

Make up your minds.
When he doesn't throw mud he is weak. When he fights back he is a bully. It is obvious that you Hillary fans are all thinking that if she is elected we will go back to the way it was. Wake up! It is not ever going to be that way again. Never! The world is a different place now. There is no going back. Bush took care of that! To all of you ignoramuses threatening to vote for McCain if you can't have Hillary be sure your sons are the first to line up for enlistment.
This will be my last submission. Stop the world, I want to get off!
Disgusted

Well My Goodness the dixiecrats are alive and well. Hillary stating that she has experience and McCain has experience enough to be president but Obama doesn't? That is detrimental to the Democratic, indicating that if Obama is the nominee that we should vote for McCain? Hillary WISE UP, that considered siding with the enemy. Obama is as qualified as you are to be President. Stop the dirty tricks, i.e. tongue-in-cheek suggesting that he is a Muslin and not a Christian, by your "as far as I know," Remember the voters are not stupid, we can read between the lines. Honesty is the best way to campaign, so let's get rid of the cheesy stuff.

Hillary BS

The Clintons In the White House will be Politics as usual
Bill tried to hit Binladen when he was President but missed He let him live to cause 911 Hillary should take credit for that since she is running on Bill's coat tail. Obama has become a notional name in the last year. If Hillary was not playing dirty Politics Obama would close the deal along time ago Also she got the republican votes from Limbach to ensure she stays in so that the Democrats can loose the elections if she is the nominee There is no way she can beat Macain

Is Clinton hiding something? Clinton has already told the voters, a vote for me, is a mandatory debit out of your paycheck! Thanks Texas and Ohio, now we will all have the same crappy healthcare, but now we will have an automatic debit from our pay as well.

For the record, Black man for Hilliary, Obama contributions are coming from working people like me. I have never contributed to anyones campaign, although I have worked in them. He inspires me to do both. Ask the same questions of Hilliary or are you just concern about the brother, black man.

I really didn't want to say this, but it seems that Clinton supporters are VERY DELUSIONAL. Don't you remember he already gave over $150,000 from Rezko, and anyone that had anything to do with Rezko, to charity. This was from a State election which he won 95% to 5%. He only worked with Rezko briefly while WORKING for a law firm. Will anyone in the US tell their BOSS " NO, i'm not going to do my JOB." Clinton on the other hand won't even tell us where she got the 5 illion from to loan to her camp. She finally wins 3 states out of the last 16 and they are ready to give her the nomination. We ALL know about the Clinton's scandals, Obama and McCain knows too. Her supporters should be thankful that he hasn't reached into this bag. If she gets the nomination, McCain will without a doubt.

This isn't an Obama negative attempt. It is the people's right to know the candidate that they are selecting, before they select them. Hillary has made claims that she is for the people and has experience; yet when questioned about her taxes to determine her 5M, she is far too busy doing what she wants to care about the people’s right. Her claims of experience which could easily be validated and even expanded on if she release her White House. But no, not for the people, she is in this for person gain.

I remember Bill pulling this same type of thing and be the time the facts were revealed – Opps… Too late, now I’m too busy running for Pres, to busy being Pres… There is clearly a lack of regard for the laws and the office of President in this family. I want to know ahead of time before we get suck again. Saying NO to 4 more years of scandal.

Where are the Obama campaign supporter living in a cave some where. The media has been all over McCain and Clinton with boxing gloves on, while Obama has been given a free ride. Now that it is his turn , they cry poor me, I am being picked on now by the press and the GOP and Clinton people. Underhandedly Obamas little group has done more than enough to the other candidates, IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT GET OUT OF FIRE!

Everyone always says(Sean Hannity) name one thing that Obama has done. Well in clinton's "35″ years of experience(she was in college 35 years ago) besides voting for the Iraq war and failing at Healthcare, which miraculously she will succeed at as president, can anyone name any "substanitive" thing that Hillary clinton has done? Or better yet can anyone name any point in which Hillary and her "35″ years has had to deal with any foreign policy issue that she had to pick up any phone for? Don't say Kosovo cause she had little if anything to do with that, Cheryl Crow and Sinbad had as much experience in that. So in that case let's elect Bono as president. He has more foreign policy exp than she does.

WHAT ARE YOU HIDING HILLARY?

It's unfortunate that Hillary's "fear and smear" tactics have forced it to come to this.

What are the Clinton Chronicles and will all of this be dragged out against her in the future?

I am glad Obama is for change and not for "old politics."

Now look who is whining! Obama is showing his true colors and I am glad this contest is going on, so people can see the real man behind the golden mask.

Go Hillary Go!!!!

A vote for Clinton is a vote for McCain. If she wins the nomination, McCain will wipe the floor with her in the general election. Don't waste your time voting for Clinton. Just go ahead and vote for McCain.

Regarding brain cells Obama shouldn't be make a deal to save $300.000 on his property with his good friend tony rezko

I swear if the shoe was on the other foot you Clinton supporters would be all over Obama…thats the real hypocracy. Your candidate can use every trick in the book to bring him down and when he retaliates he's desperate?
Hillary and Bill Clinton are far from perfect, why YOU people try to pretend like The Clintons are beyond scandal and have not betrayed the American people is sheer ignorance. You don't like the guy, thats fine but don't act like Hillary wears a halo…

Well so much for change, the only change I see is Obama's campaign turning negative. I thought he was totally against this type of politics. If the worst thing he can come up with is Hillary's vote on Iraq and releasing her taxes I am confident in my choice. I can't wait for all this junk to come out on him now. Why does he have someone at the Rezko trial. Could it be to make sure he has early control of a disaster. He's a politician pure and simple,when are people going to look at him as such, he is no messiah. He is a man flawed and complicated just like the rest of us. The problem is he is trying to portray himself as perfect and he isn't.

Is this all you got NO NO NO NOOBAMA?

What is all this talk about you as a possible VP?

We need A STRONG TICKET… NOT A WEEK ONE! NO NO NOOBAMA!

CLINTON - GENERAL WESLEY CLARK 08 !!!

Obama…let's trade. Tax returns for Rezko closing docs. Or how about a depo of the person who spoke to the Canadian official. What are you hiding?

Way to go President Obama!!!!

HE'S STILL IN THE LEAD!!

AND HE STILL WON 12 STRAIGHT BEFORE SHE WON STATES SHE WAS ALREADY PROJECTED TO WIN!! BUT IT WAS NO HUGE LANDSLIDE SO LET'S NOT GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES!!

like a bunch of kids in a schoolyard…

Does any one know that the Taxes are due on April 15? I am sure she will releas them by then.
There are questions about Hillary staying with Bill? It is her chioce, if she didn't stay with him, you will still accuse her for not staying. There are a lot women staying with their unfaithful husbands for the sake of their family, love, vow and a lot more. As far as I am concerned, she has a plus in my book for keeping her vow while he didn't.
Beside Bill is a very nice man and the father of her daughter and I am sure he apologized for his wrong doing.

SHE CAN NEVER WIN. EVEN IF SHE WINS, THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THAT THEY VOTED BECAUSE OF "BILL CLINTON". OBAMA WE KNOW THAT YOU HAVE COME VERY CLEAN. YOU WILL SURELY HAVE SUCCESS.

Why won't Clinton release her returns? Why is she claiming wins in Michigan and Florida after pledging not to campaign and not to count those results?

I'm an Obama supporter and if you think that I'll vote for Hillary in November after seeing her petty tactics this time around, you're nuts…

I'd rather stay home. McCain is not that different from Hillary..

The Hillary supporters, the housewives and senior citizens, can enjoy the couple months of Hillary vs McCain, but she'll lose, as Conservatives rally against Hillary- they've been waiting for this fight for years…

Though they make up most of the current vote, the older Democrats have been backpedaling for decades, consistently losing ground to Republicans election after election. Obama is the only one who can bring more independents into fold, reverse that trend and expand the base.

Hillary will not expand the base, she'll only shrink it with the way she has turned the younger voters off….

I almost wish that Hillary wins this nomination ,only to get trounced in November and be gone from Presidential politics forever!

a few of the other questions Hillary needs to answer in addition to releasing her tax returns are:

1) How did she manage to make a 10,000% gain in cattle futures?
2) Why aren't the presidential papers released?
3) How come Bill got paid $3.5 million from InfoUSA and its subsidiary Walter Karl Inc., a datamining firm who sells senior's information to questionable companies leading to senior citizen scams?
4) How much did the Sheik of Dubai contribute to the $12 million plus in earnings?

"Sen. Clinton, why have you refused to release your tax returns as Sen
Obama has…

- so the people can grasp who gave you the 5 million you "loaned yourself"

- and the donors to your husband's library?

- or what are you hiding as a team [this time]?"

if hillary releases her taxes, then obama should release all his record when he was ill. senator, such as trips took especially to kenya and do not tell me it was to see family. plus all his records of his deals with chicago gangster and show what charities he gave donations. why do we take his word for everything? if i gave $5 mil. of my own money that is considered something is wrong. how about lobbyists that obama says he has never taken, check with the phramacutical company lobbyist he does it they all do it especially his supporters like ted kennedy etc. everyone go to library get his books it will tell you a lot, he is not what you think he is.

The Clintons have a lot to hide.

Just be prepared as more and more will be coming out:

Clinton and Peter Paul.

Clinton and Walmart (They called the Union Workers "blood sucking parasites". Hillary was at Wallmart for 6 years and she did not even these 6 years of "experience" in her personal biography. How shameful

Clinton and the lie to the American people about the war in Irak.
She voted with "convinction and honor" for the war in Irak
Now she says the she was rushed to the war. A lie.

Clinton resisting to publish her tax return

…..

Why is no one reporting on how Obama won his first primary in the Illionois State senate by eliminating all his competion through technicalities - He is the one who is more concerned about his own political ambitions rather than what is good for the party or the nation. How can a candidate who wants to silence the will of the voters in Michigan and Florida represent the Democratic party- is he taking a page out of the Bush play book? Obama should do the math, neither he nor Hillary have enough delegates without the Super Delegates or MI and FL - those are the REAL numbers - anything else is spin and political rhetoric. How will the DNC be able to take the position that the hierarchy of the DNC (i.e. superdelegates) will have to follow the will of the people and thereby give Obama the election, when the hierarchy in FL and MI were responsible for disenfranchising its voters in this primary. The party in FL and MI made the error, not the people - so if you say the superdelegates need to follow the will of the people then you will have to find a way that the will of the people in FL and MI will be heard. There is one thing that you will hear loud and clear if the DNC tries to silence the will of the people in FL and MI - NO YOU CAN'T!

Now that the chips are down and Barack is feeling a little threatened we are going to see the real man behind the "mask". Up until now we have seen and heard his "la-de-da" speeches and seen his fake smile but now that the pressure is on he will start to hurl the insults and start to throw the daggers. The Clinton's dirty laundry has already pretty much been aired out in public and we know what we are getting with Hillary, what do we really know about Obama?

I want to see Obama's tax form too. I want to know how did he get his big mansion $300K lower than it's worth, and I want to know how he used someone else's garden for free for years. I want all these answers from him too. Show me, B. Hussein Obama!

Just to be clear, we are talking about tax returns from 2007, like last year? Due in 2 months tax returns? Must file by April 15th? Who among us has completed their tax returns for this year? I am actually really asking, all those who have "Yay", all the slackers "Nay". I am one of the slackers, I did previously offer up my tax returns but alas I have not done them for 07. We bought a house, spents months renovating, had to make ready the old one, got a tenant, I changed jobs…2007 was a rough one, and for some reason I just have not found the time to stand over my accountant (yeah right) and make sure he got those done. Hmmm, imagine if I had been doing somethng important. Sheesh, glad the government allows me some time, otherwise I'd be hosed…

I am reading a lot of "catty" comments on this blog. Mostly from women who support Hilary and don't like it when the spot light turns on their "beloved chosen one" to be open and honest.
Too much emotion. Your candidate is dictating the rules and wants to fight….so deal with it and stop whining.

What a desperate act for a team that seems desperate. How bout we ask Obama about where he was when the vote for Iraq occurred(not even in the sentate),Or if he was presented with the same evidence the 600+ members of congresss were? or how he flipped his postion during his campaign run for senator. Ho bout we have Obama release his senate record. Now there, if any of oyu investigated would find light reading. he has done little in his senate career that even remotely suggests he is ready for the "big chair". Obama do the world a favor, Vice President is much better suited for you, i'll definiaitely vote for you in eight years!

Obama is grasping at straws. Could it be that his upbeat, positive campaign of hope is turning negative?

Last night was a blow that he might not recover from.

HILLARY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE ASKING YOU TO REALESE YOUR TAX RECORDS!!!! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING

BILL++++HILLARY= SCANDALS

Even the bible says that those who leave by sword will die by the sword. Hillary you chose to go that way so Obama needs to bring out everything for people to see and be reminded who you truly are. Don't leave out anything. People respond to negative, if you do not believe me look at Ohio and Texas. Yes!! Go for it and don't leave anything out. Clinton thinks because you don't go negative that you are a sisi. Open you mouth and speak out, you are running against dirty politicians. When you are done then set back to being clean!

Obama '08

Who cares about her tax returns?
Money magazine published an article in December that showed all of the candidates and their money and where it came from and where it went.
OLD news.
She can provide the required info at the time she is required to.

Not to get off the subject, but did anyone else notice that Republicans made up 10% of the vote in Ohio and Texas? The closest I found in any other Dem primary was 6%! Over 100,000 republicans voted for Hillary in Texas! Looks as though El Rushbo got his wish and us Dems better start smelling the coffee and wake up or else we will be well on our way to screwing up another "sure thing"!

While you are at it do some research on Obama!!!!!

How can you people say that Obama is going negative by asking Hillary to follow his lead by releasing her tax returns? You Hillary supporters live up to her "non-college degree" voting block.

We love the smell of fresh mud in the morning, don't we?

Here's my take on the topic of candidate secrets:

The Federal government, in the person of Ken Starr, has spent seven years and about 50 million dollars in investigation of the Clintons without producing a single substantive charge. Has any other prospective President in history been checked out half as well? Obama, on the other hand, is an unknown quantity; we just don't know what skeletons are standing in his closets.

As for Republicans voting in Democratic primaries, well, if they're unscrupulous enough to meddle in an opposing primary, do you think they're telling the truth about who they want to run against? If the Republicans have dirt on a Democratic candidate they haven't used yet, it's on Obama, not Clinton.

First you start believing what Limbaugh tells you about Republican strategy, next you'll start calling creationism science.

This has nothing to do with desparation in my opinion. Why would he feel the need to act out of desparation when he currently has the lead? Obviously, he's not as far ahead as he would maybe like to be, but he is still ahead with a lot of time left until the convention. Just because Clinton won some big states to get back on track doesn't mean he is in any position of desparation at this point.

He is simply asking for her to be forthright with where her finances are coming from. The reason why he is asking her to do so is, because both candidates are saying they want change from the way Washington is currently being run! Both Obama and Clinton are against the lobbyists that seem to be currently running things behind the scenes. This is just best way to make sure the both candidates aren't being backed by lobbyists like some of their fellow Congressmen and -women.

So for everyone complaining from both sides should just quit. Is it a big deal? Possibly, but if the records are released and there's nothing there then how will you feel? What I'm saying is that the people coming on here to complain and bring down their candidate's opposition need to stop tearing apart the party. What good does it do to drag a fellow Democrat through the mud when both candidates want nothing but the best for this country. We fail to realize just how much of an upgrade these two will be when one of them is elected president! To be honest, I'm an Obama supporter, but I don't think Clinton winning the nomination and the presidency would be the worst thing that could happen either.

Why didn't the American Idol talk about the Rezko's case, his middle name Hussein, and his connection with Islam radicals?

Toni said: It seems that whenever people are falling behind they come up with something else to take away scrutiny from their own "murky" background.

You were ragging on Obama when you said that but how interesting that it's exactly what Hillary Clinton did.

Pot.Kettle.Black

Folks.. her tax documents aren't going to show a darn thing.. just that's she's wealthy.. no kidding. Obama is looking for a scandal… sorry Obama.. the Republicans have beat you to it…and for years. I wouldn't care if she recieved a donation from Rush Limpy himself.. if you wanna donate.. go for it.. visit Hillary Clinton.com.

Wait a minute here he got 156 delegates and she got 166. She only clawed back 10 delegates.

Yes she won but only 10 more delegates, less than one for each of the 12 previous states lost. Big Deal. Wait till you are in front and then offer out the VP

Relax!! Hillary's supporters he he…get a pill……Obama is not desperate because last time i check he is THE FRONTRUNNER….she had her kitchen sink moment,now is Obama's turn…….She needs to answer this if she doesn't want to loose this election……oooops i forgot,SHE ALREADY LOOSE this election…….

Show us the tax returns.

How exactly how are you more qualified? I don't buy your claim to experience. Saying so does not make it so.

You had no security clearances. You were not in a decision making role. You were not the President.

Mr. Rezko's donation to Obama campaign is gone, but why not he explain how he can buy a house at such a cheap price while most our hard working Americas can not!! Why we deserve to face the house closure while he can enjoy his life in such a nice and cheap house!

Obama's "visionary" administration. I've read lately about the appointees that Obama is considering for his administration. Visionary? I don't think so. The first three are Republicans, and four others are former Clinton administration appointees. Does this seem like a "new deal"?

Americans, negative politics will divide the party and pave way for a clean win for the most respected war hero John McCain, I can bet my last dollar in this dwindling US economy that the Veteran has a very good chance to win. He does not play dirty negative dividing politics that are the routine in the democratic race, He hardly talks highly about his heroism as a war veteran unlike Clinton's second hand experience of being a wife to a former president; If this guy surviver the Vietnam war, he can win this election. He has all the time to convince voters he can deliver at his age after all its just a 10 year age difference between him and Hillary (approximately) Am not a republican but as long as democrats keep on with this dirty game, it will be hard to win in November.

SOME POSTED IN DUE TIME HRC WILL RELEASE HER TAX RETURNS. WELLLLLLLL THE TIME IS NOW. VOTING IS HAPPENING NOW. SHE NEEDS TO RELEASE THOSE RETURNS NOW. WHERE IS THE MEDIA ON THAT. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW.

Calm down,!Obama's campaign! You only lost 3 states!

And don't forget Mr. Obama just said he really want to run a peaceful race not attack, right?

You have to stop play all these tricks to claim to eun a decent campain and in the mean time to continue to attack!

We can get on Obama about the NAFTA deal. I think he got bad information from his staff and it ened up making him look bad. However, let's not paint Hillary off to be a saint. She has not released her tax returns when Obama has. She also has dealings in many situations that took place in the White House. Does Travelgate, Watergate, Filegate ring a bell? There is also the so called conspiracy theory concerning Vince Foster. So let's not attack Obama and act like Hillary is transparent.

The Clintons have been scrutinized on just about everything for years. If there was anything to hide the republicans would have found it years ago. Let's not forget what Ken Starr cost the tax payers during that witch hunt. Forget it ,Obama, your not looking too clean right now, either.

The Democratic party will tear itself apart and end up losing if they don't get a candidate NOW! Sen. Obama has ANY poll on his side when it comes to who will be able to beat Sen. McCain on Nov. Wake up people, she is not who you want leading the ticket, we will all lose if Sen. Clinton is the candidate

This is really not very important. I could care less what she spent her money on, it is her personal money and not my business. Obama is trying to take away the focus from his bogus campaign financers. Those are political influencers, and that IS our business!

Get off it already. This is all politics. Obama might tell you he's honest but come on. Do you really believe that a senator from the Dem machine of Chicago is 100% honest. He knows how to play this game. Give the people what they want to hear, then do what you want. It happens over and over in Illinois. Obama is just taking it national. Hell, he's just playing the political game.

JS, I saw those pictures and could not believe how she tried to say she never had any relations with Mr. Rezcko. What in the world!?!

And tell her to release her White House records while she's at it!! And how about the Peter Paul court case! You all need to get on that and spread it like wildfire!!

CNN please post!!

Desperate times call for desperate measures. A lot of us are still waiting for answers from Mr Obama, as posed by the media, on issues related to his friend Mr Rezko.

The real question is what does Obama have to hide!! He plays this role that he has no skeletons in his closet and that he is running his campaign on the straight and narrow. This is clearly an attack on Hillary but that's ok. (According to the media and Obama supporters) Why is it ok for him to take cheap shots at her? Everytime Hillary makes a statement against Obama or questioning his records, the media and Obama supporters say she's "negative", "attacking him", "playing dirty". If that is the case, do we honestly think he could handle the so-called "dirty politics" the republicans will dish out in the general election? Can he handle that?? Those Obama supporters who say they will vote for McCain or not vote at all really don't understand how ignorant that decision would be. Don't become bitter and vengeful if he does not win the nomination. Bitterness will only hurt the Democratic party. By acting this way, all you are doing is hurting yourself and this country. All you are doing is saying you are okay with $3 per gallon (and rising) gas. All you are doing is saying you are okay with your jobs being shipped over seas and not having health care for yourself and your family. You are saying that you are in agreement with the way this country has been ran for the past 7 years and you want to continue on this track. We need to have a strong, united Democratic Party going into the general election. Your threats to jump ship if your candidate does not get the nomination do not help the cause!!!
Democratic Party 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a republican but seeks fairness. Hillary release all the details of Norman su. About $900000 collected in fund raising.

I think Obama is arrogant and that his campaign team is actually quite nasty - perhaps they believe that they can divert us all from the real issues by continuing with these types of tactics - he is not the type of individual I want running this country

By refusing to release her tax returns, Hillary Clinton is delaying the disclosure of the fortune she received from lobbyists. By not cooperating with the White House for the release of her records when she was first lady, she is delaying the disclosure of the amount of time that she spent meeting with those lobbyists, a time that she is now claiming as relevant experience to answer a 3 AM phone call.

How is that Hillary is saying she can manage to get us her 2007 returns to the public on April 15, 2008, the VERY DAY THEY ARE DUE, yet somehow she can't get us her 2006 returns even though they were filed 11 months ago?

It would take me about 5 minutes to find my tax return if someone asked me.

Obama has a nerve. No one should release any personal information if they don't have to, or don't want to. Just because he released his doesn't mean Hillary has to release hers. If I were Hillary I'd refuse to release Bill's income. He's a private citizen. How he makes his money is no business of anyone else.

Oh boo-hoo Obama.

The woman stated she will release her tax returns by April 15. Patience is a virtue.

Why not release your info regarding Rezko. As much as I would love to see Hill's income reports, I would love to know what YOU are hiding since you haven't been able to give a GOOD answer regarding Rezko to reporters.

She wins states that she was supposed to win and you guys act like she just threw the Hail Mary to win the SuperBowl!!

HE'S STILL LEADING!! And why is it OK for her to get sleazy but we expect him not too? He was trying to take the High road, but what's good for the Goose is good for the Gandar!! And she is hardly the one to throw the Tony Rezko stone!! The Clintons = SCANDAL!!

AND HE's STILL LEADING! DID I MENTION THAT?

Sounds like he is getting desperate - obviously there really is no more dirt the conservatives have not been throwing at Hillary and Bill for who knows how many years.

If that's the best he can come up with why she should be the nominee, then I think it's time for him to shut up and move aside

Go Hillary

Perhaps Hillary Clinton can do what Michelle Obama cannot- make him man enough to fight John McCain should he win the Democratic nomination. Hillary Clinton is obviously smarter, tougher, and more experienced. If a woman with Obama's credentials sought the presidency she would've been laughed out of the race before it began. Hillary is the best choice.

Tax return
Peter Paul up coming trial
Release all papers

08 obama

Why does it always come down to dirty politics? Why do we have to degrade each other. Let's stick to what is important-the best person fit for the job of running this country! I really don't care about taxes! They are ALL crooks and overpaid so let's stop splashing the mud and being dirty!

Obama should seat down and take some time to think he is not ready to be the President of the United States. It's the time to show his love to this Country——-quitting right now!

Come onnn!! Hillary won BIG last night! I am thrilled! How many men have been president of our United States? Maybe it is time to let a woman see if she can fix what so many of those men have made such a mess of, especially the one that is sitting in the oval office now(or is he at his ranch??)! You goooo Hillary. We need your strength, Anyone who claims you are not strong has not been watching over the years!

How is Obama crying?

If the shoe was on the other foot and Obama did not release his tax returns the media and the Hillary Campaign would be calling for his head!

I know the American people are better than falling for Sen. Clinton's tricks. Don't you all see the Republicans want her to get the nomination? Ruch Limbaugh, Hanniry, Ann Coulter all want her because they know McCain has a better chance of winning.

Don't let the tricks of politics become a distraction. Look at the facts and not the hype. Obama's policies are more sound than Hillary's and she will divide the Democratic Party just to win. Can't you all see she doesn't really care about the people. When she was winning in delegates, that was all that mattered. Now she won three more states, she's singing a different tune.

I respect Hillary as a First Lady and a Humanitarian, but she is too disrespectful when it comes to politics.

Let's strap our boots up and tie our waist. Vote Obama'08!

Hillary supporters, quit whining!!

This isn't going negative. This is just showing that he has fight in him and will not just allow Hillary to "throw the kitchen sink at him" without some form of retailation. Clinton's team are the ones who started this mess.

BTW, what are they hiding on their tax returns? I don't have any problem if they wait until April 15th. In fact, I hope they do because that will be right before Pennsylvania's primary on the 22nd.

Talk about spin. What does Tony Rezko have anything to do with this? It's been clearly reported that Obama is not the target or concern of the Tony Rezko investigation, so why does the Clinton camp keep making reference to it? This is the type of crap that they use to distract voters as they did in Texas and Ohio. It's no wonder educated voters support Obama. We learn to read and investigate matters on our own, instead of letting media reports and false claims dictate how we develop opinions about a candidate.

Hillary's point is finally proving true: anyone can talk a big game, present a big vision, and make a lot of promises in a wonderfully recited speech…..

but then there's something called reality, which dictates that change happens gradually

Change may occur faster in a smaller state legislature like Illinois where there are fewer overriding factors obstructing progress, but you've got to have the experience to know that it doesn't happen overnight

Hillary supporters—your candidate was the one who started slinging mud. What's fair for Hillary is fair for Obama. He DID fully disclose the Rezko connection, you're just not listening. You keep your fingers in your ears while humming Hillary's mantra. Try to use your brains a little bit!

"Their tax returns since they left the White House will be made available on or around April 15." Wow, so they didn't even disclose their income taxes for 2006? What's the hold up on that one? Why can't they release pre-2007 tax returns? What are they hiding?

You know, some of the responders to this are very fluffy. DON'T YOU ALL KNOW WHAT A TAX RETURN WOULD REVEAL?

Hillary will never show her tax returns, don't you get it. All she wants is power not to help people by giving health care, education and much less helping our troops. Remember that Clinton cut the budget for our troops during the 90's. Why she does not want the White House documents to be release to show the American people her experience. She can explain how she helps the American people when she was part of the legal system at Wal-Mart (maybe she was helping people breaking the law by coming to this country illegally). We need to be fair and careful, we need to look to the whole picture of both candidates and check their voting record. Besides we need a president that reads the NIE report in crucial times, like going to war under false premises. The news is that Hillary did not read the NIE report and give President Bush a green light to go to Iraq. Now we are suffering the consequences.

Looks like it is no more mister nice guy from Obama. He is clearly trying to distract from the fact he is hiding stuff. I don't believe the Clinton's are hiding anything I mean they have over 20 years of financial records in the public domain. I don't care what her taxes say this year cause there isn't anything new - I mean 20 years of public records folks versus 1 year of Obama? Now Obama how about you release your Rezko records…

Hillary-Peter Paul? CNN-Coverage of said lawsuit?
Hillary Supporters-Google Peter Paul's name……..
Just one in a string of controversial issues that have surrounded the Clinton's for years.
Does America really want more of the same?

Hilliary folks are really testy on this issue! Wow! So you don't suppose that the REPUBLICAN PARTY would ask her about her tax returns??!!! Of course they would. Didn't she say that Obama was vetted. This is just the beginning of more vetting on her. Either Obama does it or republicans will do it.

Shame on you, Barack Obama!

Ah, you know, he's really screwed himself with his "same ol politics, people are mean and say false things for political gain" if he goes negative and on the attack, um, how is that different than anyone else in politics? People need to realize it will always be this way, you have to fight to win sometimes, most times. Shes the fighter, and she will be the winner.

Hillary 08

I'd acutally like to know how much Obama and Clinton have given to needy charities which would show on their tax returns. They are both so gungho on taking our money by promising/threatening to raise taxes when they get in office so I would like to know if they have given of their millions already.

LOL, mister above the fray amazingly sounding just like any other politician. Now why doesn't that surprise me LMAO.

What does Hillary Clinton have to hide? Where does the Clinton money come from? We know some of it comes from Dubai. They gave it to Bill to Lobby for them. Where else does it come from?

I'm a staunch Democrat, but if Hillary Clinton becomes the nominee I will vote for John McCain. You can't trust a Clinton. She is also too quick to become angry. She shows a mean spirted side that would further divide our nation. I also don't want to see Hillary in any vice presidential position. She isn't presidential material.

Who can trust someone who won't voluntarily disclose their finiances. If she has so much political experience, she should know this is the first thing that must be disclosed. What else is she hiding?

If Clinton wins the nomination…..I WILL NOT VOTE….bottom line. We need change. Regardless of what expereince one has.

Its funny to see how desperate the Obama camp is getting…
Don't give them your tax return not yet Hillary..let them keep wondering and let them keep asking for it.

Hahah you guys are sooooo funny.

Did we all forget that the Clintons have a relationship with Rezko. What's going on with your brothers Hillary? Where are your tax returns Hillary? What's up with that trila starting in April Hillary? Why are you avoiding a supeona Hillary? Can CNN investigate the fraud behind the Clinton name?

WOW.

HOW QUICKLY HOPE & CHANGE

****TURN INTO*****

DESPERATION AND SCANDAL

…..OBAMA CAMPAIGN IS SHOWING ITS TRUE COLORS NOW!
Stay negative and Bitter Obama

MEANWHILE

WE WILL FIGHT FOR HILLARY & TO RESTORE AMERICA !!!

HILLARY 08 ! congrats Hillary, we love you.

Just a note….this morning I changed my voter registration from Independent to Democrat in order to vote for Obama in the PA primary. What does that tell you??

I think it’s funny that Clinton supports don’t see WHY it might be important for her to be open with her tax information as well as WHY it would be important for her to be able to carry out something as basic and expected for someone running for the position. Obama is hardly being a “meanie” by pointing this out to the general public. We are all wondering the same thing – what is she hiding? After winning 3 states (two of them VERY significant) she has only made marginal delegate gains on Obama, this is pretty important to realize. I can’t wait for her to have to eat ALL her negative words against him when HE is our Democratic Candidate. Obama, you are SO my homeboy.

YES SHE CAN hide all here secrets and all you supporters for her keep it up, the republicans will win the white house because most of Obama support will go with nader and not Hillary/Bush Clinton.

Karyn Armstrong,

You can only turn the other cheek so many times. Obama will be the nominee in November.

Why should the Clintons not release their tax returns. Do they have something to hide.

Its not too late to get on the OBAMA train right to the White House.

OBAMA 08

Again, more of the same. She's just like Bush, What are you hiding Hillary????????????????

I sense the Hillary people getting nerrrrrrrrrrrrrvous. Why is everyone's comment on the defense now. Hillary has been slamming Obama since his winning streak. He has continuously told the people he did not want to run a negative campaign and she just continue to do it. Enough is enough Hillary you ask for it you're going to get it. Obama is leading in delegates what are you fighting for sweetie, attention. Your acting like a little spoil brat that just have had your way in life and now can't handle it when it's taken from you.

OOOOObama 08. No doubt!!!!!!

Guys, don't be so shocked with the hypocrisy coming from Obama's camp, NAFTA has happened already, what's next???

Senator Clinton, get ready to be our next president!

How can you say this man is getting desperate. He is the same man that won 12 in a row. He is the same man that was never expected to win TX & OH and made her fight for the win and he actually still wound up with more delegates.

She has always went after him personally and he has only gone after her politically. This man is not hardly desperate. Why is she holding all of this information. Now you can't expect this man not to fight back. That is a little unrealistic not to expect a person to fight back. He has been accused of being a muslim, unpatriotic, some illegal dealings which is not true and he should not be able to defend himself by protecting his name.

What is her 35 years of experience and if this man is so bad why would she want him to be her running mate. Makes you wonder about her. You spend millions of dollars tearing him down to try and offer him a job. You don't even have the nomination yet.

Everything about him is out in the open you can go and look anything you want to about him, but, not her everything is so shrouded in secret. If you have that experience in the White House and you were involved in all of the planning of things then why won't you allow the records to be released. And isn't there the fair information act why does she have control over whether those papers can be released.

This is not going to work.

Use your head, it's time to negotiate

We need to know whether the money Bill got paid by Dubai got commingled with the campaign funds through Enron accounting. Loaning 5 million to your campaign at 1.2% interest rate, and refusing to divulge the source is vintage Clinton crookeness.

…actually tax returns could be a decent indicator as to who'd be a better leader, because it might shed light on how and from where the Clinton's are getting their income. As a strong supporter of campaign finance reform, I'd certainly want to know. Anyway, it's hard for a candidate to be desperate if he is almost guaranteed to have the most pledged delegates at the end of the primary cycle…

Jack after last night all you can say what is she hiding what does her tax returns have to do with anything .??show your tax returns YOU SO NEGATIVE,SICKING, BIAS.

This information is irrelevant. Obama is getting revengeful and desperate. The American people want to know what he is going to do for US. People are hurting right now financially and are concerned about the war. His priorities are wrong. He should not be in the White House.

The reason Hillary is not releasing her tax returns is that it might have to include the $20 million payout Bill got from his dealing with a very sleazy character. I could nto care less about her tax returns. I care about the issues.

Hillary is making a lot of promises she will not be able to keep., but she is telling people what they want to hear, and she will win that way. Just remember people in Ohio, if you want your good jobs back, you better elect Al Gore as president. Hillary said she could not deliver on her promise of 200,00 new jobs for New York because Bush was elected!!

Hillary you are very desparate and what exactly are you hiding??? Just know that if you manage to steal this nomination, I will be voting and campaigning for McCain!!! It is yet to be proven, but at least he is stating he will run a campaign of dignity and integrity — You have no idea what those two words mean???? Quit now while the democratic party still has a chance.
