Keeping up the attacks on Mitt Romney’s financial holdings, the Obama campaign is pushing the question of what Mitt Romney might be hiding by not releasing more of his tax returns in a new web video out Tuesday. 

The video begins with a clip of Republican Haley Barbour saying on that he would release his tax returns if he were in Romney’s position. The video also draws on a clip from a Republican primary debate in January in which Romney is asked if he will follow his father’s example and release 12 years of tax returns like George Romney did in the 1960s. Romney replies, “maybe.” 

The video hints through more news clips that Romney, at the very least, has taken advantage of tax loopholes available only to the very rich. “How long can Romney keep information on his investments overseas secret?” the video asks.
