Forbes: Romney should demand document dumps from Obama

Steve Forbes, who knows a little something about what it's like to run for president as a multi-millionaire, has a suggestion for how Mitt Romney should deal with the continuing issue of his tax returns.

Forbes notes that the best move for Romney now is to "reverse the tables" on President Obama and call for a "data dump": both would release 20-years worth of tax returns, school records and health care records. "Everything" should be included Forbes adds.

That being said, Forbes thinks Romney has handled the issue badly.

"I was a little surprised that he was flat-footed during the primaries that he didn't have this all squared away."
