8. Yes. It is arrogant of Obama and Hillary to not support gay marriage. Both only
support civil unions.

9. It's not at all a leading question.
A leading question might read... It's arrogant and disrespectful for Clinton not to release her tax returns now, isn't it?

Getting back to the question, what justification might she have not to release this information now? I can't think of any good reason except there must be something she doesn't want public during the primaries. Makes me think, what is she trying to hide?

5. I don't know if it is arrogant and disrespectful but I do think she should
go ahead and release them. If for no other reason than it takes another argument against her off the table. She is "interviewing" for the job of president of the United States. It's better that citizens know about her financial background.

PS, I voted for her in our primary on Super Tuesday.

7. I'm not sure I understand all of the legalities of this move. Don't
the candidates already file some kind of campaign finance disclosure form about their personal income when they run for office? Is it required of a condidate to release tax returns also? I'm looking to be educated here.

12. I don't know about arrogant and disrespectful,
but releasing them would certainly end any suspicions that she is trying to hide something.
