Obama campaign senior adviser David Axelrod on Thursday hammered Mitt Romney over his offshore bank accounts, calling the former Massachusetts governor the “most secretive candidate that we’ve seen, frankly, since Richard Nixon.”

“The only reason to have these accounts is to shelter your taxes,” Axelrod told ABC News. “The question is, exactly what did he pay, and I think that he — there’s only one way to answer that question.  If you don’t have anything to hide, why not just release that information? And Gov. Romney really doesn’t have a good answer for that.”
