Last night at 11:23, mean Hillary spokesman Phil Singer sent an e-mail to the Internet demanding Obama release his tax returns for back years, which is fair, since Hillary Clinton has yet to release anything about anything. At 11:25, the Obama wiseacres replied that Obama's 2000-2006 returns are available on his website. You can download a PDF of them, but it is a 65-megabyte file and also SIX YEARS OF PREPPY'S BORING TAX RETURNS. Also, this is an image of an overweight kitty, because why not. [TPM Election Central]
must... see... tax returns...

I'm gonna rub your tummy! Yes I am!
Hil's can't possibly copy and post her returns until 2017. They're being hand copied by medieval monks.
Are you suggesting that Mrs. Clinton ate her tax returns or that Mark Penn ate Mrs. Clinton? Oh I know! You're saying that Phil Singer is an asshole! Yup. He sure is.
Is a gigolo service tax-deductible? I certainly hope so.
To be fair, when you have spent as much time dodging sniper fire and executing corkscrew landings in your C-130 as Hills, you really don't have that much time to worry about pedestrian things like tax returns.
FOR SHAME, Barack Obama!
But do Obama's tax returns really answer the question, "Barack Obama, why do you hate America so much?"
This is so weird, that St. Barack of Obama has done all this.
...65 megs?! Well played Barry; by the time they finish downloading that; Iraq would be ratified as the 51st state in 2098!
Let's all thank our personal gods that Phil Singer didn't demand to see Barry's wee-wee.
Mark Penn is adorable.
@AngryBlakGuy: you must still be on AOL dial-up...
... demanding Obama release his tax returns for back years, which is fair, since Hillary Clinton has yet to release anything about anything.
I LOL'd.
Why did Obamas' income increase 127% from 2004 to 2005? I'm not joking.
Speaking of FAT CATS, the VP'families bank statements would be far more interesting.
I am less concerned with her tax returns than her church:

I don't want these people to get their God-given power positions! Yuck, look who goes to this church.
so on page 35...
wtf are they getting paid 45K for??
yea it's a pittance compared to his book money but who the fuck are bay valley foods and treehouse foods??
Karerer: I can tell you what it wasn't from. Secret oil-leases-for-library-donation schemes involving shady Kazakh businessmen. Wait, that wasn't even a joke!
I heard Barry Hussein keeps trying to claim that "home office" deduction, even though he has a TV in the room.
@karerer: book deal.
@karerer:
I believe it was mostly due to the advance on his second book, combined with royalties from the first one (due to increased sales once he became a pres candidate.).
Basically most of his income is from publishing, and supposedly their household income was very low until the last few years.
@karerer: Started hiring himself out as a 4.5 whore star gigolo.
@karerer: He became a Senator?
Sorry, 'whore diamond'
@GaCracker: ...nope, but PDF's are particularly finicky to download do to their encryption protocol. Try and open a PDF half that size from a website; I guarantee you will not be happy individual by the end of the first half-hour.
It would take forever to download all of Hill's tax stuff, with all the vintage pantsuit receipts and what not.
@GaCracker: actually I stand corrected, mine just blew through it
Karer,
It's called book sales. The audacity of capitalism.
@GaCracker: Bay Valley are a sinister cheese sauce company, and Michelle Obama was on the board of its shadowy parent company Treehouse.
you know, the whole Clinton campaign is just too much to believe. Barry the Luo Muslim Christian has been scrutinized beyond what any other candidate has in recent memory, if ever, and most of that is because he has written about all the warts and all himself in his memoir or subsequent writings or the info was released to the press by him. Yet Clinton is still trying to make hay with this "you don't know who he is" BS and herself remains one of the most opaque politicians ever. Sorry for the serious post, but the shamelessness and mendacity of her tactics just get to me sometimes.
On another note, that cat is clearly a sibling of ours. That body type (ahem, being a "Cat of Size") cannot be very common.
@Thalia:
So Hillary joined a religious group that is all about power. Duh, I knew that was her religion, no matter where she goes to worship. Heck, if there was a knitting group that was all about power, Hillary would join. Did you hear that, you Ravelry people?
She has the experience to expertly withhold information from the American people...she's truly fit to assume post-W command from day one!
Next question from the Clinton campaign - why did Obama not post his tax returns on the internet as a space saving zip file? WE DEMAND ANSWERS!
@AngryBlakGuy: downloaded in 2.5 minutes... big talker you are...
@wheelie: she's a cheese whore? i thought that was a wisconsin sorta thingy...
@Doglessliberal: Agreed, but for Hillary it's all about proving what she's not, which is everything people believe to be who she is. It would be unfair for her to release her tax returns because it would simply affirm what everybody already knows: she eats the souls of the young.
@GaCracker: Hey relax I misspoke; you know how it can go, sometimes you say snipers when you really meant to say little girls carrying flowers.
I'M IN UR SKEDYUL E, AMORTIZIN UR DEPRESHIASHUNZ.
So I did some research to answer my question. ("I haz cheezburger and I iz serious poster" sayz the cat above.) The 127% increase came from becoming a US senator. In addition he got 1.14 million from being an "author". Lost money on bad investments tho (SkyTerra Communications?). Interesting note... the child care provider with the last name Bushnell got 3 times more than the one with the last name Gutierrez.
@McDano:
Nooo! Keep Ravelry for the knitting apolitical! (Unless she can talk to us about copyright protection) --
And I love the fat kitty photo!
This just proves that Hillary has skills at performing evasive maneuvers, even without a C-130. This is exactly the skill I want in my commander-in-chief when the phone rings at 3am.
@Lazy Media: ROFLMAO!!!11!
