Clinton (like her husband) is a master of making bold statements based on twisted facts, assuming nobody will notice the errors in logic as long as she sounds strong and confident. The fact is that "the other side" HAS released his tax returns and she HAS NOT. That is the only fact here. Yes, there may be other questions worth investigating about Obama's financial relationships, but the issue here is the tax returns and she is the one being secretive.
And in terms of having her cake and eating it too: Clinton is the one who says she will be able to withstand Republican attacks because she has no secrets and has been fully vetted. And here she is saying that she'll release the tax return information once she is the nominee. By her own logical support for her candidacy, shouldn't Democratic voters be given a chance to review the returns before the Republicans can?
