"We will be releasing two years of tax returns..."
When, in fact, that's not what he's doing. He's released 2010, but is only saying he'll release a preliminary estimate of his 2011 return.
IOW, his multi-million dollar team of accountants has been busily working on fudging whatever numbers possible so they can release SOMETHING prior to the 2012 election. They know it will be questioned, they know it will be inaccurate, but it will be released, and they'll be able to do press conferences saying "We've released the tax returns!" But one of them, 2011, might not be even the slightest bit "real." It is being prepared only to assuage the reporters. They know that by the time he files an amended return, he will either be elected, or -- in jail.

(1,068 posts)Mitt Romney needs to be destroyed BEFORE the election. Arrest and indictment should be Eric Holder's number one priority for the next two months.
There is a petition to arrest and indict Mitt Romney on Obama's site, change.org. Here is the link:
CHANGE.ORG PETITION - Eric Holder: Arrest and Indict Mitt Romney NOW!
We need 5,000 signatures. Once we get that, we will start the avalanche to destroy Romney, get Obama re-elected and if necessary, beef up the Executive Order process so we can bypass Congress as we have been doing the past two years. In doing so, he can override the FCC and eliminate republican talk radio, Fox News, and start an Internet process to throttle out of control fascist GOP sites like Newsbusters and Townhall.

(8,419 posts)1. Released 2010
2. Released 2011 preliminary
3. Final 2011 would be due by October 15th, so he can basically stall until election eve to release the second year.
The should be calling him on the fact that even under his plan he would dump the second return at the latest possible moment, why not just go backwards, and release your returns that have been finalized and could be released immediately without any excuse.
You KNOW that's what he's doing. His own, personal "October surprise." It will either be a bombshell, or show that he gave his entire fortune to Republican Christian orphans, AND paid prevailing tax rates on it. This guy is a pure Magic Underwear Snake Oil salesman.
