Obama Also Made Money Overseas, Paid Foreign Taxes

    Reports $1.6 million in overseas income in 2009.

    Mitt Romney is not the only American politician who reported making money overseas and paying taxes on it — President Barack Obama reported the same on his tax returns.

    Obama made $1.6 million overseas in 2009 and paid $59,372 in taxes to foreign governments. In 2010, he made $820,000 overseas and paid $22,035 in foreign taxes. In 2011, he made $269,000 overseas and paid $5,841 in foreign taxes.

    Romney had said he was unaware that he paid foreign taxes at a campaign town hall earlier today.
