I'm the opposite of naive. I don't believe everything just because some blogger wrote it down.
Quote:
Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson referred reporters to Clinton's Senate disclosure forms, which lists sources of income for both Hillary and Bill Clinton and provides some information about the value of their investments. The most recent one covers 2006. On her financial disclosure, Clinton said their combined net worth was somewhere around $10 million to $25 million.
Wolfson again said that it was Obama who was not being forthcoming, saying the Illinois senator still hadn't revealed the full nature of his ties to indicted Chicago real estate developer and fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko.
Why would her personal wealth be any of your business? If she gave 5 million to her campaign what's it to you? How much did Romney give his campaign? More to the point, how much did Rezko give Obama? And how much has he given back?
You're not waiting for Hillary's tax return to decide who to vote for. You want to distract attention from Obama's connection to criminals.

My point isn't the money, man. It's her saying she will not show her records until after/if she gets the Democratic nomination:
Adam Hanft: Why Won't Hillary Clinton Release Her Tax Returns? - Politics on The Huffington Post

THAT is what I find odd, and you repeatedly skirt her secrecy. I know Obama has secrets, too, and would be thrilled to know what they are so we can all have an informed opinion about the candidates.

I know it's a blog, but seriously. Google Hillary Clinton tax info and get back to me. Why show it then, but not now, if you've nothing to hide?

Look, I am not completely for, nor completely against either democratic candidate. I'd love for all candidates to have full disclosure/transparency. I really would. All I am saying is I find it a very odd thing to her to say. Why show then what you won't show now? I find it odd, is all.
