From The Hill, about the conservative Republican Congressman: "Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) set high stakes in an offered 'deal' with President Obama on Friday. Obama’s campaign isn’t backing down on requests to see Mitt Romney’s tax returns — on Friday, campaign manager Jim Messina offered to stop asking if he releases five years' worth — but the freshman Florida congressman had a counteroffer for Obama. 'Show us your sealed college records and Operation Fast and Furious White House memos, and we will all show you our tax returns,' West wrote on his Facebook page Friday."
The article continues: "It’s not an original offer; businessman and Romney supporter Donald Trump has been suggesting the same thing via Twitter. '@MittRomney shouldn't give additional tax returns until @BarackObama gives his passport records, college records & applications,' Trump tweeted earlier in the day."
