Obama ad continues to hammer Romney over taxes

[cal04]

In a new television ad released Tuesday, President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign continues its push to get Republican challenger Mitt Romney to release more of his tax returns.

The 30-second spot, “Makes You Wonder,” will run in Pennsylvania the same day Romney travels to the Keystone State.

“Mitt Romney has used every trick in the book” when it comes to his financial portfolio, the ad’s narrator says. It points to reports of Romney’s offshore investments in places considered to be tax havens for Americans.

“The ad raises questions about whether Mitt Romney has avoided paying his fair share in taxes,” Obama press secretary Ben LaBolt said in a statement.

Obama Campaign Goes For The Jugular On Romney's Taxes

Democrats have entered the go-for-the-jugular stage of the presidential race, with President Barack Obama's campaign, the Democratic National Committee and an allied opposition research group all releasing videos today attacking Mitt Romney for his refusal to release more tax returns.

The videos are distinct. The Obama campaign clip will air on television in Pennsylvania, where Mitt Romney is campaigning today. The DNC's version craftily uses Sarah Palin to suggest that John McCain was so nervous about Romney's taxes that he made a historic roll of the dice with his running mate pick in 2008. The video put together by America Bridge 21st Century is a sharp edit job of all the prominent GOP officials and pundits who have begun groaning about Romney's handling of the matter.

3. When Romney says he wont release any more returns, Obama should respond with this..

"Look Mitt, we are running for the highest office in the land. The American people have the right to know as much as possible about their candidates. If you remember a few months ago there was big stink about my birth certificate. It became big news and a distraction for everyone. I didnt legally have to release my long form birth certificate but I did because that was the right thing to do. Now its your turn."

4. Love it, because there is no way for anyone to deny that he MUST be hiding something.

If not, why wouldn't he release them?

5. Simple, factual, and to the point.
