Clinton Will Release Tax Returns “Within The Next Week?”
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, Hillary, TaxesIt’s not necessarily a promise, but at least it’s sooner than 3 days before the Pennsylvania primary.
(CNN) — Barack Obama and his wife released their tax returns from 2000 to 2006 on his campaign Web site Tuesday, and the Illinois senator challenged Sen. Hillary Clinton to release hers.Later, Clinton said she expected to release her tax returns “shortly, I hope within the next week.”
The Obama campaign said Clinton should immediately release her 2006 return, pointing to her decision to lend her campaign $5 million earlier this year.
The Obama camp also cited former President Bill Clinton’s $20 million payout from supermarket holding company Yucaipa as a reason why the couple should release the documents.
I didn’t realize Bill had made that much post-Presidency. Impressive.
I guess it pays to be a former POTUS!

Yucaipa seems like pretty progressive outfit – willingness to work with labor unions and agressive ESOPs. It sounds like an honest day work for a guy like Bill Clinton.

Why is American so obsessed with someone else’s tax return. Do they truly think they will find smoking gun. This Obama guy releases his return just recently and now asking Clinton to release her tax return. His look like a simple return with no charity for a guy making that kind of money. Just do your job and stop worrying about Clinton. Why worry? You almost talk as though you won and you want Clinton to drop out. Why attack a person who is no longer a viable candidate? Just go have a meeting with Rev. Wright, Sharpton and Jesse Jackson as to your strategy to win against McCain.
