Stumping for his dad in Concord, New Hampshire, Matt Romney told a toallas group of metodospara eliminar la celulitis senior citizens that the multimillionaire candidate might not release his taxreturns till President Barack Obama releases his birth certificate, a document that was producedpublic long ago.

"He has not mentioned that he will not do it," the younger Romney said of the tax returns, soundinglike the son of a politician. "He has also not mentioned that he will. I believe it's just a matter of timeuntil that concern comes up. So, I do not know the answer to that. I am not positive he knows theanswer to that."

Although it wasn't a especially insightful answer, things most likely would have been fine if MattRomney had just stopped there -- but he did tratamientos para eliminar la celulitis not.

"I heard somebody suggest the other day that as quickly as President Obama releases his grades andbirth certificate and sort of a extended list of issues then possibly he'd do it," hehttp://www.pregnancy.org/search added.

Sensing that Matt had gone to far, the slightly-older Tagg Romney, a single of the candidate's othersons, volunteered that his toallas dad had not personally created that remark.

"No, no," Matt Romney agreed. "That is just a guess from someone else."

The president's Twitter account wasted no time in responding: "Mitt Romney's son thinks PresidentObama ought to release his birth certificate. Guess he doesn't have one of our mugs?"

"I think the president was born in theUnited States," Mitt Romney toldCNBC's Larry Kudlow. "The man wantsto be taken out of workplace but hiscitizenship is not the purpose why."

The tax return issue might have turn out to be a sore point for the Romney loved ones following theDemocratic National Committee (DNC) recommended the candidate had some thing to hide.

"It would show that on the millions of dollars in income he enjoys each and every year, Mitt Romneypays a reduce tax price than teachers, fire fighters, police officers or other middle class wage

earners," DNC National Press Secretary Melanie Roussell predicted in a media advisory.

"Mitt Romney will tell you that it is not necessary by the law that he release his returns but whenhe's manteles antimanchas advocating for policies that benefit the wealthy and the well-heeled,voters have a proper to know what conflicts he may well have with his ownhttp://www.slideshare.net/KrishnaChaitanya55/rs-aggarwal-verbal-reasoning-book finances."
