Obama: Requesting tax returns not personal

During the White House press briefing, Obama commented on his re-election campaign. He said it is not "out of bounds" for his campaign to push Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney to release more tax returns. Obama says, "When it comes to releasing taxes, that is a precedent that was set decades ago including by Governor Romney’s father. And for us to say that it makes sense to release your tax returns, as I did, as John McCain did, as Bill Clinton did, as the two President Bush’s did, I don’t think is in any way out of bounds. I think that is what the American people would rightly expect."
