Agree
Yes, and require a public audit each year they are in office
While Obama has not explicitly advocated for annual public audits of politicians while in office, his administration was known for its commitment to transparency and accountability. Therefore, it is plausible that he might support such a measure.

Agree
Yes, and also required to release their medical records
While Obama has not explicitly stated that candidates should be required to release their medical records, he did release a letter from his physician about his health during his 2008 campaign. This suggests that he might support such a requirement, although perhaps not as strongly as the requirement to release tax returns.

Disagree
No, I would respect them more if they did but they shouldn’t be required to
While Obama might respect a candidate's decision to voluntarily release their tax returns, his own actions suggest that he believes this should be a requirement rather than a choice.

Strongly disagree
No, tax returns have nothing to do with their ability to perform their duties

Very strongly disagree
No, their income is none of our business
