[Harry Reid] called Romney's accounting "galling" and said the documentation "reveals that Mitt Romney manipulated one of the only two years of tax returns he's seen fit to show the American people – and then only to 'conform' with his public statements."Yes, Romney failed to take a tax deduction on about 40% of his charitable giving to remain consistent with his public statements. So all Reid has is to call Romney's accountants "galling". Like Republicans have always tried to tell Democrats, there is nothing stopping them from paying more in taxes... something Warren Buffett still hasn't figured out for all his complaining about the low tax code.
And then Team Obama takes the other side of the coin. They released a statement that seems like it was prepared last year.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama's campaign also released a statement on Friday saying the GOP candidate took advantage of "complex loopholes and tax shelters only available to those at the top."In other words, Romney didn't pay enough. Well, that's consistent with the Obama admin, they haven't changed their state of the union address since inauguration.
Now it's Harry Reid's turn. "Dave Buell, chairman of the Washoe Country Republican party in Mr. Reid's political backyard of Nevada, certainly thinks" (Seth McLaughlin, Washington Post) it is time for Harry Reid to release his tax returns and explain how he earned his millions on a senatorial salary.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, Romney was "hiding something." (He's not, but let's say he was.) Reid still flat out lied about knowing Romney hadn't paid taxes for ten years, and he needs to come out and apologize for it.
At this point, Reid has ZERO credibility to be making this attack.
Dear Harry Reid,
Before you start trying to remove the mote in your neighbor's eye, you might want to first remove the beam in your own eye. When it comes to honesty, you have some improving to do. I am waiting for you to apologize to Mitt Romney for lying about him.
