Yesterday, the Obama campaign made presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney what they hoped would be "an offer he can't refuse." The plan was for Romney to release five more years of tax returns and the campaign would make no further comment on Romney's taxes.
The offered followed Romney's remarks about his taxes over the past decade. In remarks in North Carolina Romney said that he had paid an average of 13% in taxes plus more when charitable giving was included. Romney was responded to remarks from Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and an unnamed source. The Reid claim was Romney had not paid taxes in 10 years.
The Obama campaign offer is clearly another deflection from Obama's dismal economic record and an increasing desperate campaign staff.
Romney campaign manager Matt Rhodes responded to the "offer." "Thanks for the note. It is clear that President Obama wants nothing
more than to talk about Governor Romney's tax returns instead of the
issues that matter to voters, like putting Americans back to work,
fixing the economy and reining in spending." In other words, "Thanks, but no thanks."
I'm sure the level of laughter within the Romney camp hit new highs along with the shaking of heads.
More from Fox News"Thanks for the note. It is clear that President Obama wants nothing
more than to talk about Governor Romney's tax returns instead of the
issues that matter to voters, like putting Americans back to work,
fixing the economy and reining in spending,"
