How big a deal do you think this is, and should we expect to see those 12 years of tax returns that\u2019s Obama\u2019s demanding to see of Romney\u2019s?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_61499\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RomneyDebateOct18_large.jpg\"\/><BR\/>ROBERTS:  Romney has to find a narrative about his wealth.  I mean that\u2019s really where he is.  We\u2019re not talking about his taxes. We\u2019re talking about how much money he has. And he\u2019s very, very, very rich.  And he needs to find a way to talk about that so that voters aren\u2019t turned off.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Really?  He does?  Why doesn\u2019t Warren Buffett have to?  And why doesn\u2019t Bill Gates have to?  I know they\u2019re not running for office, but doesn\u2019t it go back to the point that those guys are excused because they\u2019re liberals, and they sit there and they say their taxes ought to be increased and they sit there and they say they\u2019ve got too much money.  Well, you know, Obama wants Romney\u2019s tax returns the last 12 years.  Let\u2019s see Obama\u2019s school records.  How about his transcripts from Harvard and from Columbia?  There\u2019s a lot of stuff Obama hasn\u2019t released about himself.  How about we see that stuff? <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Romney filed an extension to his taxes.  Do you know that?  Well, he did.  You have to pay what you owe on April 15th, or 17th, you have to pay what you owe but you can get an extension to file the return, the paperwork and so forth, and I think October 15th is the day.  On October 15th, Mitt Romney is going to be filing his tax return, not in April, where there\u2019s six months to forget it.  You don\u2019t have to wait \u2019til October, but that is the limit.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  An e-mailer wants to know, &#8220;Why does Mitt Romney have to explain his wealth when John Kerry didn\u2019t have to explain his?&#8221;  Well, that\u2019s easy. It wasn\u2019t John Kerry\u2019s.  It was his wife\u2019s, Teresa Heinz\u2019s.  She did not work, in fact.  Nope.  She clipped coupons.  She inherited.  But Obama made millions from his books, and he wasn\u2019t forced to explain his wealth.  And Bill Clinton brags about his, doesn\u2019t have to explain it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: This is Cokie Roberts and Stephanopoulos says, &#8220;Look, this issue of Romney being very, very rich, this issue seems to hobble the campaign a little bit.
