CNN

What was that deduction she listed for hiring a hillary supporter to off Obama??

Hillary trying to subtly offer to one of her supporters the motivation to KILL another candidate. This campaign is getting sick.

WE NEED CHANGE AND A MAN OF INTEGRITY MCCAIN or OBAMA
Save the USA from another whacky Bush in the Whitehouse

Let's spout out rhetoric on how she's elite and stuff! Even though it's none of our business how much this person (who's in no leadership position) makes per year! Yeah! That'll win people to our side! Oh man, I'm gonna guess she's hiding something or really makes more. This is definitely our business!

Grow up you children.

Why did we have to see her returns???? Someone thinks she didn't pay her taxes or she is secretly funding terrorists through some investment. I absolutely do not think the spouses of candidates need to have the world look at their finances. Either Bill Clinton's or Cindy McCain's. It just gives nosey people something to talk about and complain about and get jealous over or envious over.

I absolutely feel that people who ask to see these returns from spouses need to get a life!

Tell me if I'm wrong but wouldn't anyone who is complaining about what she paid in taxes want to switch places with her if they had the chance? Let's also not forget this is family money, she did not go out and make it all on her own.

In this country everyone has the right to succeed the best they can; some just do it better than others; this is what seperates the United States from a lot of other countries.

And the last thing I have to say about all of this is get over it. I have to be honest, I'm more concerned about $4 a gallon gas then about Cindy McCain's tax returns! This election should be about what these politicians are going to do for us, not what they've done for themselves.

My only hope is that people like Mrs.McCain give as much to charity as us little people do. Doubt that happens-–

I'm with R. Brown. She should be arrested. Charlie Manson in a pantsuit...and I'm not saying that to be funny.

I think that Cindy McCain has shown us how to be a first lady. SHe is regal, elegant and extremely professional. I do not believe she should have to release her returns and would have liked Obama to have said so if he is such the proponenet of NEW politics. Obama has said that his wife is off limits ... he should shut her up then as well ... and so should Cindy. For that matter Bill.

But if they speak up and comment on other candidates as Michelle and Bill have done then let the press at them. But Cindy has been quiet and only speaks of her husband. Kudos to her.

No one mentions how John McCain divorced his first wife even after she waited for him to come home from Vietnam.. Cindy and John McCain and liars and i pray they dont get in the white house.

Whoever thinks that Cindy McCain and/or John McCain represent(s) in any way the hard-working American better thinks twice! They know none of the hardship hard-working Americans go through; they have no idea how much hard-working Americans worry about making the ends meet. John McCain if elected president,..., party time for the rich and millinnaires! Keep John McCain out of the White House for the sake of the hard-working Americains!

Who cares about tax returns???? Why is it the "in" thing to do now for the politicians? I didn't care about Obama's, Hillary's or McCain's. As far as people commenting on Cindy paying a low percentage of taxes, a lot of that is due to muni bonds. Wealthy people lend money to local governments to build roads, bridges, sewer systems, etc. If you take that away from the rich the government will have to pay more for funding which means your taxes are going up. Be careful what you wish for...

How does a woman with a $100 million fortune and income of $6 million a year, and DEDUCTIONS of $570,000 NOT get the ELITIST tag ?

Obama grew up poor, single mom, and achieves the American dream by going to an Ivy league school an working his way through to eventually become an advocate for less fortunate people and a Professor of Constitutional law. That's not elitist, that's good old fashioned American ingenuity and elbow grease. How do people have the nerve to put him down, if he didn't make it, they would put him down for that too. I wonder if Cindy McCain worked for her money ??? Oooops, that's right she INHERITED $100 million. Nothing wrong with tons of money, but don't patronize and Bu** Sh** the American people. We've had enough of that the last 7 years.

The irony I hope is not lost on the American people. Draft dodgers, and silverspoon suckers and cronys Bush and Cheney are elitist. I wonder how much money Bush willl all of a siudden make after he's out of office, and I wonder if that income will come from the US oil industry and the Saudi's.

Obama better speak up to refute these allegations because they are being tossed by a desperate, deceiptful and fear mongering Republicans. Thankfully there are a handful Republicans that can be honest and see and acknowledge the damage inflicted by those two losers (Bush/Cheney). How many days until January 20, 2009 ?

Guilty concience!! Who asked her for tax returns, EVen in her return, there was no single amount given to charity, or something like that, She should better stay off, after all, What has Obama's presidency got to do with Cindy McCain's tax.

Hillary Clinton has managed to cement her place in the history as the evil famale senator that could have been president. So sad. So sad.

Democrats always seem to resent it when someone else does well.

I'm getting really sick of the nasty way Michelle is being depicted in opposition to Cindy McCain.. they are BOTH beautiful women.. but that is irrelevent when it comes to being First Lady!!! Last week it was the nappy headed comment concerning Michelle! "Gentlemen", black women may not be your personal preferences concerning the beautyof black women..but get this straight SHE IS NOT UGLY.. and i hate to sound like alot of broken records.. but thats purely racist in all contexts(especially the nappyheaded comment)..

The McCains are CLUELESS about the lives of average, every day Americans. You can tell this while listening to him speak. In his comments about health care and more. Six million dollars? Good for her. She will never have to worry about health insurance. People who make this much money (they are NOT the only politicians) can NOT know what it is like for the more typical American suffering in today's economy. They can't possibly!

$6 millions. Wow, she must work for an oil company.

Ah, I can see it now "The White House presented by Budweiser."

This woman can not feel for the average American, John McCain is laughin all the way to the BanK... Now, Why won't John McCain support the "New GI Bill" Cindy could pay for it... She got money....

Why the need to see? We already knew she was very wealthy.

To Ben from Redwood City, CA who said "If everyone, regardless of income paid say 15 – 20%, that would be fair..."

That still results in some people having to pay more in taxes than others–how is that "fair?" People with more income don't get better government than anyone else–why should they have to pay more for it?

Carl:

Show some proof if you want to sling mud

Not even close to those rich, white democrats, the Clintons! Is Hillary sick or what? No doubt she is hoping (no, praying) that one of her fanatical (racist democrat) supporters acts on this not so subtle "hint."

Lady Macbeth has nothing on her.

Being an elitist does not necessarily mean to have money. It is the belief that some people are inherently superior to others and deserve preferential treatment, or higher rewards because of their inherent superiority.

It is what us old, white, working people without a college education mean when we say “Looking down your nose.”

This is the way that so many Obama supports look at us but still will expect us to vote for Obama in the general election. I have even read posts that say we should not even be allowed to vote. Could there be a greater demonstration of an elitist than this?

R. Brown, you should really stop smoking so much of that stuff.....I hear it causes paranoia and delusions.....

But, thanks for posting that, I was in need of a good laugh!

Meet the future first lady.

Remember Cindy McCain is filthy rich from her family's beer money. Never forget it. She has her own private Jet ! She is trying to pull a fast one American wake up. She is rich beyond my imagination......She is sad. Releasing on a friday is really good.

Hillary Clinton is disgusting. She has hit lows that I could never have imagined..... Get her out of this race......Now

There is no reason she should have had to release these. She won't be on the ballot.

To all you Obama supporters who think you are the "educated voters" Let me remind you that a huge portion of these "educated voters" are actually college students, who could care less about healthcare, tax reform, social security, the economy, etc. They just like a young guy with good speeches.

I'll hear so many teenagers around my area who love Obama. But if I ask them what his views are, they have no idea. I don't think most of Obama supporters know what his views are. It's sad how they will vote for a guy just because he makes some CNN proclaimed "historical speeches."

It's sad.

McCain/Huckabee in 08

She is less relevent than McCain, and yes, it is possible.

She only released part of her tax returns for 06. Why not the preceeding 3 years? Was 06 the year college kids drank less beer, so she made less money?

. . . WHY CAN'T HILLARY CLINTON BE MORE LIKE CINDY McCAIN?

Has 100 million but only payed 1.7 million in taxes..

4 years of MCshame Cindy will pay 0 dollars in taxes....
This country willbe bankrupt....
And our soldiers will die in Iraq for wane....

Broad look like a DRIED FLY!!!!!!!

Can you say ( MILF ) I know Iam a JERK just had to say it

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!

This lady is too secretive. If she wants to be first lady her life will be (and should be ) open for scrutiny.

I'd rather have Michelle Obama, at least she speaks her mind and she's smart!!!!

I see no earthly reason why the public has to know how much money Mrs. McCain has, how much she makes, how much she inherited, what she does with it or anything else. Get a life. We are electing her husband, John McCain, not her. I do not care if she has a zillion dollars or is broke. It will not make one ounce of difference in my daily life.

If I am Hillary, I willing to die for running what her belief. Many poeple die for what they believe. And If I am Hillary, I already dead & tear the blood about Media treat her. But she keeps strong.
I am proud of Hillary. She shown her strength. and I don't believe that a woman exists. She is just alike Benazir Bhutto cling about her believe.
What she said, RFK died when he was running a candidate until June.
Hillary, say no VP for Obama. He does not deserve this jackpot.
McCain . you want to win, ask Bush to pull the troops from Iraq.

Kinda makes the Clintons look bad. Obama $4m. McCain $6m Clintons $109m. It's good to become the president and first lady.

I feel sorry for a bunch of you so called "democrats"

The people that post on this site only see hate and fear and conspiracy, and it's the evil white rich Republicans that is the cause of it all....

There are many proud American democrats out there, but most of the ones that post here are nothing more than fascists.

And if you any brains at all, you'll look up what fascist really means and figure out why I am calling you that...

"Billy from Florida May 23rd, 2008 4:18 pm ET

What a great first lady she would make, all america could be
proud.

Can you imagine Michelle Obama as first lady?? My God NO.

Eric May 23rd, 2008 4:19 pm ET

I think Cindy McCain would make an excellent First Lady. She is goregeous!"

=======================================================
To Eric: Oh PLEASE! If Michelle came up to you bucket naked and wanted you to take her, you would fall on your knees and thank the good Lord for the blessing he has bestowed upon you. She looked great in that orange dress with Barack in NC and you know it. pfft. Cindy on the other hand looks like a cross between a stepford wife and a vampire..

To Billy: You got the hots for Mrs. McInsane? Go get that 50 something year old good stuff, atleast Michelle is younger. Nothing wrong with 50 year old good stuff but I'd rather have me some sweet brown sugar..:-) Atleast with Michelle, you will get the REAL deal of a first lady who takes care of her children and her man and doesn't have stand there smiling creepily all the time like a plastic barbie doll in agony.

Obama/Cindy..oops, Obama/Sebelius '08!!

Also, my comment about her age compared to Mccain's is moderated, but the one right above me calling for an arrest of Hillary is not. CNN, what the heck.

Thanks for moderating the people CNN, YOU ROCK!

It is irrelevant.

She is not running.

I am not moved by your dough.

I don't care how much any of the candidates paid in income taxes, as long as they didn't cheat on their returns. If you want to audit McCain's tax returns for the last 40 years, fine, but then I'd like to know how the Clintons were able to get away with such large deductions for donating old clothes – and underwaer – to charity. And I'd like a transcript of every conversation Obama ever had with anyone about racism and socialism.

Some of you people really need to seek help. The paranoid commentary on these blogs is absolutely scary.

....and the elitists are.......

.....the Clinton's and the McCain's.

The person who know what it is to struggle to get where they are......

Barack Obama!

Obama 08 & 12 !

JamesAAMale

Stupid much?

come 12-21-12 none of this will matter because the new age of peace and understanding will begin and countries and borders will vanish.

Carl

Obama will raise taxes 30%? Cite a source.

Interesting that she would release these the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Everybody's headed out of town, nobody will make much mention of this. Same with her husband's medical records. Millions of people will miss this news. It was strategic that they chose this day for the release of this information. YA THINK??!!
BTW, 1.7 million on 6 million in income seems like too little. I want her tax bracket.

Time to Michelle Obama release her tax return.

You are all idiots. She needs the prenup based on her ties to the distributorship her family owns. AS a part owner, that is the smartest thing she could do, and her family doesn't manufacture liquor, they are a company that DISTRIBUTES it. Big Difference. The Clinton Family is worht a lot more that the Mclains. THEY are worth over a $100 million together. John's wife is potentially worth $100's of millions when she gets her portion of the business. Her wealth was never in the marriage picture.

Looks like Cindy is just another rich republican looking for someone else to pay for their adventures.

How many dollars did Cindy save with the GOP tax cuts?

Wow, if you are a tax person and you factor in all that deductions, she's paying about 17% in taxes. The rich will continue to be richer and the poor poorer. It will always be like that.

Let's see her contributions to charity and to what groups?

Absolutely his health should be of concern. Of course his doctors are going to report he is 'healthy' and that is wonderful. But he is 72. There is no way that a 72 year old can handle the toughest job in the world. Forget Reagan, he napped, he was able to delegate everything, and he was in anomaly. He may have also had early stages of Alzheimers for a year or two before leaving office. We can't afford to take that chance with McCain, that he gets dementia or A.D. and the Republicans and McCain's handlers cover it up, which they would. He is simply too old, he looks it, he sounds it, and I don't believe the doctors. His credibility is already questionable and he hasn't been in office one day.

Since she's 15 years younger then John, maybe she will need to run the office if he's elected when his mind starts to wonder. Just like Regan.

The McCains have skeletons in their cupboard. They are hypocrites.

McCain means insanity. McCain means super flip-flopper. Why?

(i) He waited until the Friday of Memorial weekend to release his medical record. He hopes the holiday period will somehow puts things out of sight. But as it turns out, he is mistaken. We have now come to know, he has something to hide. He has skeleton in his cupboard.

(ii) Cindy McCain who said she will never release her taxes, eventually turned around to release her 2006 taxes. When? It happens on Friday afternoon of Memorial weekend. McCain’s wife does have something to hide. They have skeletons in their cupboard.

(iii) He courted and got the endorsement of evangelical preachers like John Hagee and Rod Parsley for political reasons. Now, he turns around to reject them saying, he did not know they said the things the media tell us they said in the past. Is this how he plans to run this country as president? Calling somebody else’s views naïve.

McCain is at best a hypocrite and a flip-flopper.

And arrest R. Brown for inciting Obama's demise.

As an Obama supporter–I appreciate this release of information, I think the circumstances called for it, and I am satisfied with how they carried it out. It was bugging me that she was holding it back when McCain was basically living off of her wealth, but now that it's out there, I feel better about this issue.

Doesn't mean I'll vote for McCain by any stretch, but I respect how they handled this in the end.

I don't understand the hostility from commenters on both sides. Nothing to be hostile about, now.

(Are these the only words Obama learned in school? I'm tired of it.)

R .browns view......are you crazy or what.

Hillary is much better yhen obama, period.

Mrs. McCain is so hot.....................................................

I would never have releashed my tax return............what does that
have to do with the price of bananas? nothing.................................

She is so hot I'm voting for her husband. I love this women.

Her makeup is about 5 shades too dark for her skin ... look at the difference between face and neck. Stop trying to look young. You're old.

Why doesn't CNN run a story on Obama saying Lou Dobbs is responsible for hate crimes.

Who is playing the politics of fear now!

Freedom of speech,Still applies...even if people do not care to hear it.Really tired of people in this country running to the race card,If you say anything,anymore...you are a racist.....Whole thing is BS.

It comes more apparent everyday that the highly educated people supporting Obama are the stupidiest people, When some one makes a statement on the history of political history of the primary races over the years and the Obama supporter and the news make a big deal out of it. If thinks like this are motiviating a Vote for Obama your have a small knowledge of the world. The news is giving McCain a bad time about Hagee, pretty stupid and shows the bias of MSM against Hillary and McCain Wake up america us your head and start thinking,

CNN!

Someone is talking about inheritance through murder and all you can offer is all these rants about Cindy's wealth? It is no news that she is rich.
Double standard; Obama's biter comment (though innocent) was your hit story for more than a week but now hillary is suggesting someone is going to commit murder and you are letting it lie low!

It is disgusting. I don't care if you do not post this comment. I care that you (Editor) read it.

This obviously doesn't include any foreign investments. I'm an Obama supporter, which means I should be rattling Clinton's cage. At least her and Bill made theirs public. I wonder why it took the McCains so long?

First: R. Brown...chill out...Hillary never ever would do what you are suggesting...get a grip! Second: McCains' money, as is true of the other canidates, is his/her own money and...let's face it America...no money...no Presidential run...sad, but true story. In my opinion, people are reaching hysterical level....sit back and breathe people. This election should be won by popular vote, especially not delegates...who in the hell decided that a handful of people should call an election...DAH! Third: McCain...scares me....too pro war, just an extention of Bush and all his failed policies. Ok, had my say...which is more than I will receive in trying to elect a President of the United States....seeing that I am a Democrat. As much as I totally despise the Republicans, I must admit that their road to the primaries is ever so much better....winner take all, as it should be!

she should NOT have...she is not running FOR any office...

her returns are non of our business....

ARREST HILLARY CLINTON NOW!

HILLARY HAS PLANTED THE SEEDS FOR OBAMA'S DEMISE AND SHE SHOULD BE ARRESTED NOW!

AN IMPEACHMENT SHOULD BE IN PROCESS FOR HER SENATE SEAT! THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL NOT TOLORATE THIS ONGOING SLANDER AND SEEDS WHICH HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR MONTHS.

ARREST HILLARY!

Beautiful? Give me a break! You would think with all of that $$$$ she could ditch the trailer trash look.

It is about time!

Her makeup is out of control...she should fix that...STAT!

Same old tricks. This man and his wife could care less about what happens to us. I'm sick of the GOP and Bush. We need a Dem who will fix this country.

Democrats '08

Are most liberal college educated Democrats this stupid or just the one's on this blog?????
"What about the 100 million"? "She made a 100 million"? "She only paid 28%" " I pay 35%"? I wish some of you "smart" college students would actually pay attention to those liberal college professors who are supposed to be teaching you something (like to read). She MADE 6 million, she is WORTH 100 million. You only pay income tax on the money once you dopes not year after year after year on the same money. For those of you who have ever itemized a tax return once the IRS figured in charitable contributions and tax exempt items she paid a 28% tax, she started out at probably 46% before that and may I say a much higher rate than you will ever pay. COLLEGE it's not just for smart people.

All you Obama people will be paying way higher taxes under YOUR FAVORITE LEFT WING SOCIALIST. Better get ready to pay for all the people who do not care to work.

Let's get this straight: Mccain & his wife are millions, The Clintons are millions. Yet Obama is supposed to be considered an elitist. Please. Wake up America!

I agree with those who say that Cindy McCain dresses much better than Michele Obama, but has anyone considered the fact that Cindy's budget for clothing is probably astronomical.

WOW - it must be nice to be a heiress - I mean you get special treatment and extensions and everything.

To all the Clinton supporters:
We should all send in donations of even a small amount to McCain to show the Obama Clinton supporters haters that they need us in the fall.

Clinton or McCain = NObama with the all hate supporters

She can pay for her husband campaign

Why is so much money spent for a job that only pays $400,000?
Sports pays better by far. Or retire as a CEO that screws up the country- -Ken Lay (another Bush crony) He didn't even have to go to Jail (God Pardoned him)LOL

Cindy is a rich heiress to a beer fortune. What more is there to know?

Are we really at all surprised? We all knew she was loaded. Who cares?

Everyone can have money..there is money everywhere. It is only when you are willing to have it, does he appear. There are some that are better than others acquiring it. She got the same way we all can. Why put down her, that only puts yourself down and money will never flow your way because you are not happy for her. It is called The Universal Law and the Law of Attraction. I applaud her for having the ability to bring weath to herself. Change your thought and you will change you life.

What they should be releasing is her criminal record for getting busted stealing drugs.

I thing that would be a little more interesting!

Cindy McCain must not have the shifty lawyers and accountants that John Kerry's wife does. Heinz made 5 million dollars in '04 and paid just 175 thousand dollars in taxes. Cindy made 6 million dollars and 1.7 million dollars in taxes. I guess elitest democrats can raise Americans' taxes since their lawyers and accontants can find all the loopholes their party has put in the tax system over the decades to let them keep more of their money.

Wow! How ridiculous! We know this is a lie. She made much more than 6 and we also know that it isn't all from the Liquor business.
Lies, Lies and more Lies! When will we ever have a candidate who is genuine ? Oh, We do!! Thank the good Lord we have Barack Obama!

Who Cares!!!!!

Hillary 08

So what? We all know she's rich. Why do some of you busy body trouble makers just HAVE to see how much she has exactly? because you got nothing better to do than try and tear down anyone but your golden boy who is going to be destroyed come November. IF he even makes it till November.

Yes We can

but McCan't

I'm not gonna lie guys but I pretty much don't care how much they make, to tell you the truth. If they are ballers and make money, all I'm going to say to them is....."So, business is good, huh?" You see, I'm not critical of them if they have money, I mean, it is their money...

Plus, I think my boy Honest Abe sums it up when he says this......"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power"......

Just be who you are........

I don't care about Cindy McCain's tax returns, just don't care (i don't care about her either!!)

She is the President of one of the largest beer distribution companies in the US and she expects us to believe she made 6 million dollars???? How dumb do the McCain's think the American people are? I think those medical records that John McCain released are doctored and these tax returns of Cindy's are not only a year and almost 2 months late, they're a joke!!!

2006 doesn't matter. We need the returns for when he started running for president. However, I do appreciate this initial effort. I personally don't care other than I hate hypocracy and if we can rule that out, it will be a good thing.

So Sen. Obama is the least wealthy candidate. The Clintons and McCains are multi-millionares yet Sen. Obama is considered the Elitist. Give me a break

You moan and groan when McCain doesn't report something and then you whine like a baby when he does. Can't have it both ways. By the way where is Obama's medical history???

A liquor heiress, what next?

Yup! This is real transparency alright. Aren’t the American voters tired of being called idiots? Anyone swallowing this nonsense is truly stupid. What happened to years 2000 ~ 2005 taxes? I love this straight talk express going around the curves.

You all are such experts on what she earned or should have earned. You should work for the IRS as auditors. She really doesn't owe anyone the disclosure she has made. Some of you see a scam behind every tree. Must be a terribly unhappy, empty way to go through life.

To those who think she paid a lot in taxes because just because 1.7 million is a large number – most people making under 100k a year pay more. She paid less than 1/3. This is why we need a flat tax system. If everyone, regardless of income paid say 15 – 20%, that
would be fair and the government would be taking in plenty of money.
All of that said, I'm sure there are many people far wealthier than her who pay even less than 28% of their income in taxes. We need tax reform!

It appears that she is in the same income bracket as the Clinton

We all know Cindy's past personal problems. Those will be great political fodder when the real race begins.

Who cares??????????????????????????????

I'm a single woman living on social security and a small pension. When I retired the IRS penalized me and I am still paying out of my social security, no extension.

Does any other woman notice the make-up line! She's worth millions and she can't get a make-up artist to match her skin tone!!!!!!

Yup this proves that McCain is NOT Elitist. To be an Elitist your wife has to make UNDER 1 million dollars a year

Was Obama mentioned in this SLO Bear?

How quickly they change Mr. & Mrs. Flip Floppers

Seems like just yesterday she said under no circumstances would she release her returns. How she and John have filed separately for 28yrs.

Another full of $#@& couple

President Obama 08'

I thought she said she would "never release" her tax returns.

I can really respect the intelligence of someone who can't spell a well-known product like Heinz. Guess facts are important if you're always right. Ho-hum...

Smart girl with the pre-nup Cindy. I can't believe everyone on here is criticizing her for making money. Phonies- our society worships money but everyone on this blog hates it right??

She's has never ran for public office! It is none of anyones business how much money she makes- especially since she files seperate returns from my friend John.

$6 million in on year? How in the world could John McCain fix his mouth to call Barack Obama an elitist...and out of touch? John McCain is such a phony.

That is one wealthy chic ! McCain hit the jackpot.

Not much for a beer heir. Pennies compared to the Clowntons!!

I paid about 35% in taxes and I made about 150 times less than the doll looking plastic woman. I bet she spent the other unreported 6 million on plastic surgery. Now let's see the past 8 years, not just a fraction of 2006. Did she give anything to charity? Greedy old lady. I don't know why but her eyes scare the hell outta me!

How much did she pay for that house in Stepford?

Wait a second – when Sen. McCain released his returns, everyone here cried for his wife's. Now she does and people ask why it's news?

I am so sick and tired of the "If not Hillary, then McCain" people. If you are truly Hillary supporters you would not vote for McCain in the General election. Hillary and McCain are very far apart on their views. Hillary and Obama are not. Please,let's not have another four years of Bush policies.

I am sooo tired of all these "special" people in the White House! I want someone who really worked! Maybe does her/his own laundry. Possibly put themselves through school. SOMEONE who really can relate to us–the real American person!!!

Now look carefully at "If not Hillary, then Mccain" idiot. He/she usually PRETENDS to be an upset Democrat, Hillary supporter. In reality though, it's a Republican McShame supporter. What other person would ask for Ted Kennedy's tax returns right now?! This person has no shame....

None of you pay as little tax as she does and you never will, because your not rich.

A prenup hu, so she does not trust Johnny McBush not to divorce her and try to take her money.

What trust and love, NOT.

These people are crooks and depend on the little guy to pay all the tax.

They have the guits to want to be your boss,go figure.

You all had a chance to vote for Ron Paul, his voting record is 10 times better than any candidate and has been givin awards for it.

You all had a chance to voye for him and eliminate the IRS.

Now you will deal with the wrath of the TTC and The North American Union and the New World Order.

Youtube the 600 FEMA Concentration camps now buildt around the U.S. They are buildt to hold Americans in Labor camps.

Go see for yourself.

This country has ended as you know it.

You all had a chance to stop it yet you voted for who is popular on FOX and CNN.

Now the country is going to pay a price.

YOU ALL FAILED

Yes, Darth Vadik – there's a funny thing about the rich in this country. The rich hire better accountants, who in turn finds more tax shelters, hence the rich pay less percentages of taxes. Doesn't that just s*ck for the rest of us? Maybe that's why she was so adamant not to release her returns initially.

That is how the rich cheat and rule over the poor.
She pays only 28% taxes.
I hope the IRS are looking at this.
It is insufficient and the American public will not accept that from somebody that wants to be the first Lady.

we do love our beer................but why is this anyones business but hers people need to get a life

out of the $570,000 itemized deductions, I wonder how much, if any, was medical/ cosmetic procedures?

that is a very good photo – the color fidelity has captured her makeup mask. awesome!

They file separate returns per prenupial. It is not American's business. Aren't there more important issues to be concerned about.

$570,000 in itemized deductions... really, let us see the breakdown

Sounds suspicious, first she was not going to release them at all, now just comes out with them. Everthing I heard was she was worth maybe even as much as 100 mil, as heiress of the beer distbr. I am sure somebody will stay on it, to make sure there is not another set of books & we are looking at the ones "for show."

It's good to see her releasing tax returns, she paid her debt. Now why can;t Obama release all his senate years tax returns, he just released 1 year tax returns & pleased idiotic people with his rhetoric, why is he afraid to release all his senate years returns.

He funded his wife's hospital with large sums, why is he afraid to release details of funds. After his large sums of funds, she received promotion & spike in her salary. See all his empty eloquent words don't matters, because he is just oppurtunist & intimidated to solve america's problem when he was in senate.

How about 2007? Thieves...................your deals will come out.

She donates more than either democratic nominee. It's called a tax write off... MORON.

An heiress to a huge company. That's not elitism at all.

Wait, it is!!!! So is owning 10 houses like she does!

Good for her.

Darth, if you are paying 35% in taxes you need a new accountant. Maybe it just seems like you pay that much. More likely you pay about 20-22%. Much of Mrs. McCain's income is likely from capital gains from investments and the maximum tax bracket for that is 28%.

I think the question you should have asked is: "How many people on the blogg pay $1.7 million in taxes."

Didn't she say she would NEVER release any of her tax returns? And if she changed her mind, why only release 2 pages? The point of releasing tax returns is to see where all the income comes from and goes to. Releasing only a part of her tax returns still makes her look suspicious...maybe even more suspicious than if she didn't release them at all.

She didn't file with her husband and shouldn't have to prove anything to you idiots in the media.

Wolfe and Jack should release their returns and their health records.

i think she said is not going to release her tax returns why changing her mind now?pls be striaght forward.

What in the heck is SLO Bear talking about???

That is like saying this story just goes to prove the McCain's racism.

Actually, Cindy McCain having 6 million dollars a year in income puts the McCains in much more "elite" company.

Perhaps SLO Bear is 71 years old like McCain and is begining to get a bit senile. Or, SLO Bear is just an idiot.

Obama '08!

I could live out my years on her deductions alone . . .

Are you kidding me? I am a single parent who has had to tax shelter every dime of my little old teacher's salary raises for the last 5 years to keep my tax rate down. I don' give a fat rat's behind about John McCain other than respect for him as another human being and a war veteran. In an attempt to rechannel my immediate discontentment with her tax returns, I will give her credit for supporting her husband in the face of the nightmare that is those cherished extremist evangelical preacher/Gods. I'm sure she thought this would defray some of the possible damage their little words of hate might cause him. Now that I feel better, I will resume ignoring and dismissing the republican party.

MCAIN'S WIFE DONT TRUST HIM WITH HER MONEY THERFORE I CANT TRUST HIM WITH MY COUNTRY

SORRY

OBAMA ALL THE WAY

Hello...does this make you feel real fuzzy?.....the books are cooked...she's letting you see what she wants you to see....let's go from there....a private jet ( with a pilot and crew paid years round...cost?)...the homes (yes I said homeS owned)...including off-shore....do they collect dust or are they maintained daily?...you answer...the yatch ( and crew to meet them whenever they want to use it.)...so she paid some taxes...how about the taxes she didn't pay....does she not fit under the people that don't pay taxes for money made?...hello....now CNN cut this third entry out...I'll keep sending it until it sticks.

It is wrong to this trend of rejecting men of God. God's word is giving, they may not be acceptable into the eyes of men but it needs the wisdom of God to understand it.
God used the king of Syria to punish the jews in the Bible.
I think there is real wisdom in what thw pastor said about Hitler.

Funny how there was no announcement that she was going to do this. Or, apparently, whether we're going to get any returns from prior years.

I guess we should consider ourselves lucky to know this much.

Mrs McCain is a fine lady. Obama supporters don't understand what it means to be a fine Christian lady. God has blessed her greatly and she appreciates it.

Darth Vadick....you really are a moron

Of course she is in the 35% bracket...her taxable income was seven figures

Haven't you ever heard of tax shelters?....it's how the rich protect their income

Thought she said she'd NEVER release her tax returns! Ah...what some people will flip-flop on when the scent of POWER is wafting through the air!

To SLO:

What does Obama have to do with Cindy McCain's tax returns?

Darth.....Go back to school and learn how taxes are calculated – you pay taxes on adjusted gross, not total income. i.e. if she has long term captial gains they're taxed at a lower rate.

At least she didn't try and deduct her underwear.......or maybe in Hillary's case, her pantsuits.

ELITIST !!!!!!! ELITIST !!!!!!!!! ELITIST !!!!!!!!!! ELITIST !!!!!!!!!! ELITIST !!!!!!!!!!!!!

She gets all her money from us hard working white people who drink beer like there is no tomorrow.........Burp !!!!!

Darth Vadik, CA,

Do you know how to do the math? Do you know that taxes are paid after itemized deductions have been subtracted? Do you even have a clue or basic understanding when it comes to taxes?

Apparently you don't – you are one blinded Obama supporter. Don't worry – if you think $35% is bad, with Obama in charge you'll be paying 53%.

Republicans = For the Corporations, by the Corporations.

Rich, out-of-touch elitists here.

People are suggesting that Obama offer Hillary a position in the Supreme Court. I hope he doesn't so that she can face the music that she's trying so hard to escape, that's why she's fighting to the end deceiving the naive public into thinking that all her luggage is on the table..YEAH RIGHT!!
She needs to be in power to escape and postpone her date with retribution.The way she tried to smear Obama when she & her husband are exponentially more dirty.

Darth Vadik, CA
Macsame wants the bush tax code so his wife can continue to pay less taxes than average americans.

So she's rich! McCain married well or at least "well to do." Didn't we know that already?

Hillary & Bill are rich.

Obama's a pauper by these standards.

She said she would never release her returns , well they didn't have to force her to do it because no one cares. He will lose plain and simple.

Does it mean YOU OBAMA supporters might have a different OPINION about the Clintons? They did NOT have to pay 33% in taxes....they chose to.

About the Role as VP. Don't YOU realize this is just politics to Obama and Clinton?

OBAMA is the one who fed the seeds of "she is not to be trusted, she is running a campaign of fear, a war mongerer, untruthful...etc." Of course, that is NOT negative campaigning...right? Just politics.

Clinton brought up issues that Obama would have CERTAINLY lost the presidency in, if they occurred in November.

As far as lies goes....Obama certainly has had his whoppers....
Saying Wright was never his spiritual advisor, when there is documented articles "earlier" saying he was.
Saying he was never in church and heard divisive comments, otherwise he would have left the church. Then 2 days later saying he had heard the comments.
Selma
Lobbyist Money
Nuclear Legislation
Law Professor
Life Magazine
Obama's Fluency in Indonesian
Rezko saying he raised $50K...then 250K
Campaigning on the Senate Floor (Illegal..by the way)
NAFTA

Oh...what about those 1999 allegations by Sinclair that he did drugs and had an affair with Obama?

Oh...and who's campaign divulged the divorce scandals of his competitors, do you suppose, so Obama wound up as the only one running?

Politics...Chicago Style.

RICH PEOPLE PAY LESS IN TAXES THAN US POOR FOLKS!
VERY SAD

Elitist.

Mc Cain is a dinosaur with outdated ideas. Obama should not pick Hillary. What a mistake that would be. Her anbition overshadows her whole campaign she is only out for herself and the big prize. She doesn't know when to quit.Obama will win no matter who he chooses. If democrats have any sense at all they will not let a Republican into the White House.

She is not telling all, and yes 28% taxes??? I made far less and paid 33 – 35%....wow I guess I need more money so I can hide more....

I still contend what about the 100 million we all KNOW she is worth....

you add that into the mix and she paid what 2% in taxes????

I need a new job...

Cindy will make a much more beautiful First Lady than nasty Michelle.

I make a lot lot lot LOT less and pay 35% taxes. But I give her this: she sure was quicker than Hillary in releasing her tax return.

SLO Bear you must be a Republican?

If not Hilliary, then McCain – you're either a Republican or an Obama hater. What does Ted Kennedy's or John Kerry's wife taxes have anything to do with it.

That's interesting. I'm more concerned with why Hillary would make the awful comments that she made earlier today. Every site is talking about it except for CNN.

She didn't pay 28% taxes. The report indicates she had a TOTAL income of $6m. That's very different from earned income. Deductions haven't been factored into that number. Being in the 35% tax bracket, her gross earned income after deductions would be about $5m based on those numbers. $1m (about 17% of her income) in deductions isn't very far fetched.

And on that note, Obama 08

This story is a complete fabrication. It will never happen we will take our fight to the convention and Hillary Clinton will be our nominee.

And they call Obama an elitist?

Here here, teddy and kerry and heinze and obamas healthcare records and his fbi files should be made public

Something just doesn't seem on the "up & up" here with this Barbie Doll wife of McCain, theres something below the surface that really makes me uneasy. I fear this couple greatly. I pray that Obama wins.

28% huh...
Well, I guess she didn't find all the tax shelters. Her accountant should be fired. Refunds for the rich for the win!

/end sacrasm

Spelling! It's not just for school anymore!

I'm ready to release my own as soon as unemployment runs out so I can go to get food stamps and lose my house to forclosure, We in the worse economy that I remember in my lifetime.

I guess that what makes HER so proud of her country. Hell, I'd be proud too! What an ELITIST!

Obama & ABC (Anybody but Clinton, 08/12

Tax break for the wealthy......no wonder her husband wants to make them permanent.

Darth Vadik and to others...

Federal taxes is one thing... state and local taxes are another ball of wax.

It's already been calculated that an Obama presidency and his tax plans would cost people in California and NY and NJ around 60% of their ANNUAL SALARY due to state and federal taxes. These lovely taxes include the taxes you pay in gas, food, your home, electricity, beer, capital gains, and just about anything else...

on top of the 30% or more Obama wants to take from you.

Thank goodness I live in Texas where we are not that stupid. We have no state income tax for a good reason, so people can take care of themselves and their family first.

$6M in earnings, and only $1.7M in taxes paid (i.e. $28.3% tax rate).
Is there something wrong with this picture?

If not, then I want her accountants working for me!

You can't tell me Ole Johnny boy doesn't benefit in more ways then he reports or lets on when she shows income of 6 mill....

Johnny really knows how to shake his money-maker eh...?

.........ELITIST........ ELISTIST FAMILY...........

You will never see the money in her offshore accounts.People with that much money always have multiple hiding spots.Her handlers knew they would have show and tell sooner or later.

She filed the extension in order to hide what she has given McSame until after the election.

The income of the McCains and the Clintons are just like the ordinary, uneducated white people they too profess to be.

Go Hillary...Good for Mrs. McCain!!

So she's rich. Get over it.

Smart move, but hopless, no more 3rd term.

Raz

OMG, I'm in the wrong business!

OBAMA-08!

$1.7 million in taxes... Now, what exactly does Cindy McCain get from the idiot government that's worth 1.7 million dollars? Does she get roads forty times better than the roads I get? Did her kids go to schools forty times better than the schools my kids go to?

What a rip-off!

So much for the rich not paying taxes... 1.7 Million... Dang!

Of course I'd like to just have what she paid... LOL...

What?? She paid $1.6M in taxes? She'll never be a successful politician like Clinton at that rate! Remember the large Goodwill deductions for donations to charity – for his underwear?

Good on ya Cindy!

28% taxes paid. Now, can we move on?

Good for her! I'm a Democrat so I could care less, but its nice to see a successful woman no matter what color they are (red or blue).

Am I the only one who thinks this report is FULL OF "something"?

Who cares! We all know she is worth millions and millions and that all people this rich work the tax saystem to their benefit. I wouldn't believe anything that is being shared as we will only see little bits and pieces. Gee, what does this prenup thing say about the relationship of McCain and his wife? Probably, "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine!" Does anyone really believe she only earned 6 million in 2006? Some people are more stupid that they appear.

It's a great time to release taxes–a Friday, a long holiday weekend, she's not stupid.

Obama 08

so what's with all the McCain ads claiming Obama to be a "multi-millionaire" and "out of touch" when he and his wife make way more than Obama and have been doing so for at least a decade? (and living in DC – a place clearly representative of how the rest of the US lives)

Why on Friday afternoon before long weekend?

Why? I thought Barbie didn't want to share her taxes.

It doesn't matter, they're not going to win. The White House is a step down for her–she really would rather stay home anyway.

soooooooooooooooooooooo
who cares she is richhhhhhhhhh

it is a case of the richhhhhhhhh
getting richerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

why 2006. This shows there is something in the offin.

NEVER ,NEVER,NEVER.I guess is only about 2 weeks

yea right how about 100million

Cough! Cough! Redacted!

Obama-bots ready set go....

Sweet little elitist Cindy McCain found the American people are not going to put up with uppity additude. She cave in.

Is that all? The way people were talking it seems like it should be more.
Good for her maybe more next year!!!!
Clinton or McCain= NObama and his hate supporters 08

What does that have to do with McCain and his presidential bid? Irrelevant.

That's a lot of money, I wonder how much she spends on botox.

Cherry-picking information to release is hardly a breakthrough. Let's see the last 6 years in full.

1) why is this the shortest blurb EVER
2) didnt she say she would never?
3) does this mean shes a liar?
4)everone else released from 2000 on... why is she special?

And this is relative because...?

Is Cindy McCain on the ballot?

Are we going to start demanding to see the tax returns of all the candidates' third cousins?

The decline of this country is directly attributed to the idiots who think stuff like this is somehow important to them....those with an agenda

The Lunatic Fringe has never had so much say in our government than they do now....MODERATES UNITE AND TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

YEA HIS JUST ONE OF US.

If she is a daughter to a wealthy father as they say and income from the 'familt' business.............Is that really important at this time to be a news item? Considering it is already a known fact?

Percentagewise, most middle income families pay more in taxes than that. Why is that?

It might be nice to know WHERE the money came from.

I think Cindy McCain would make an excellent First Lady. She is goregeous!

What a great first lady she would make, all america could be
proud.

Can you imagine Michelle Obama as first lady?? My God NO.

Great new she paid her fare share of taxes, now lets see Ted Kenney's tax returns or John Kerry's wife returns "The Hines Foods".

SHE ONLY PAID 28% TAXES?

WHAT?

HOW MANY PEOPLE ON THIS BLOGG HAVE MADE MUCH LESS MONEY AND PAID 35% TAXES.

Why the sudden change of heart???

add that 6 million to the other 100 million that she is hiding and then you will have the correct amount.

Just goes to prove the Obama's elitism!

Thats a lot of Taxes! I would be able to live the rest of my life off her taxes alone!

Nader or Hillary 08'

_____________What Took Her So Long???___________

Obama 2008

flip-flopper,like her old man.no pun intended.

and this is news why?
