Associated Press reports:
“Clinton has been under pressure to release her tax returns, especially from rival Sen. Barack Obama, who posted his 2000 to 2006 returns on his campaign Web site last week. Neither Obama nor Republican Sen. John McCain has made their 2007 tax returns public, though both say they will this month.”
When Barack Obama raised such a hue and cry about Hillary Clinton not making her tax return public, I thought he had done that before her.
American people thought she had committed some sin or that she had broken some rules.
But Barck Obama didn't tell us the whole truth.
Because on the date he or his campaign machinery made that accusation against Hillary Clinton, he hadn't published his 2007 tax return. And not until today.
What he did was publishing his past records, which have nothing to do with 2007. That even a small fry like I can do because it is all done for.
Media tried to underplay it by saying that Mr. McCain also did not publish his 2007 tax return.
Let us leave McCain alone. He assiduously kept away from the immature pranks of Barack Obama by not blaming both Democrats on this count.
Hope Barack Obama will treat his fellow Americans with the respect they deserve and not treat the Americans as imbeciles. We may be ignorant but not imbeciles.
We may have been when we elected Bush, but we have learned our lessons.
Now as for American media games.
American media highlighted the amount “$109M since 2000”.
I was laughing when foreign media highlighted “$20.4 million in income for 2007”.
Clintons paid 31% to American people as taxes and 9% to charities.
That put me in the right perspective.
After 9/11, I have started reading the foreign media too to arrive at the truth.
Now, does Barack Obama practice what he preaches?
No American President in history have so far recorded “rabble-rousing “ as his hobby.
