Romney comes up with a tax-return spin [View all]

Romney comes up with a tax-return spin

---------------------------

This morning, Romney went to the friendly confines of "Fox & Friends" to try out a new line. Igor Volsky posted the clip.

"The Obama people keep on wanting more and more and more," the GOP candidate said. "More things to pick through, more things for their opposition research to try make a mountain out of and to distort and to be dishonest about."

I'm delighted Romney is now saying something in response to the question, but I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around this one. He's going to keep his tax returns secret and hidden from public view because ... Obama might find stuff?

Isn't this effectively the same thing as saying, "I can't release my tax returns; I'm running for office for Pete's sake"?
