3. That's just pretty dumb, and no way comparable to tax records.
No offense, but that's a reach that Stretch Armstrong would be proud of.

how pathetic - why don't you go focus all this negative on McCain, he is the one to beat for the office.

On edit: Did anyone ask Barack to release the records and did he refuse or stall or make them file a freedom of information act request and than a lawsuit?

Whooooopps, they were ILLEGALLY accessed.

I am a big Obama supporter and agree that this a bogus story.


But I also am chorttling because Clinton was starting to get traction with the FL/MI (fake) outrage and the Wright thing was heading up for a second go around and now both stories have been wiped out by a bunch of curious flakes who had itchy fingers.

What I would give to be a fly on the wall at Clinton Hdqtrs.

Not only do they get 2 great stories wiped off the media but the also didn't get the information from the visa file. lol


Its kharma for the bogus NAFTA scandal in Ohio.

49. Did you ask the same thing of Bill Clinton in 1992
State Dept. Official Who Searched Clinton's Passport Files Resigns

By ROBERT PEAR,
Published: November 18, 1992

A State Department official who carried out the two-day search of passport files for information about Gov. Bill Clinton said today that he had resigned, just 48 hours before Federal investigators are expected to issue a report criticizing the search.

The official, Steven M. Moheban, was a top aide to Elizabeth M. Tamposi, the Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs who was dismissed last week by President Bush for her role in the search of files on Mr. Clinton, his mother, Virginia Kelley, and Ross Perot, the independent Presidential candidate.

"I resigned Monday," said Mr. Moheban, a 30-year-old native of Nashua, N.H., Ms. Tamposi's hometown. "I no longer work for the State Department."

58. sorrry, tax returns can reflect such things as conflicts of interest
and the use of offshore tax havens as well as other info that can contradict what a candidate has said. No comparison between that and passport info. but thanks for reminding us that hilly dear has promised to release her tax returns by April 15. I take her word for it.

I think now that he made a huge deal out of it, we should be able to know what are in them. Transparency and all, you know what I mean.
