Why would Obama be generous with his money when he can give ours
away? Typical Lib. Sad.
At least he did not take a deduction for used, dirty underwear like Bill Clinton.

Right. You would have much more respect for Obama if he made millions selling defective hardware to our troops and getting them killed or sick. Maybe he can get a job at Halliburton if he doesn't become president.John Galt wrote:Why would Obama be generous with his money when he can give ours away? Typical Lib. Sad.
For Galt, why collect taxes when you can steal the money by forcing the government to hand it over and then not allow them to have any oversight?
The facts:
WASHINGTON – Democrat Barack Obama gave nearly a quarter of a million dollars to charity last year as he entered the presidential race, significantly more than during the nine previous years combined.
The Illinois senator has yet to release his 2007 tax return. His campaign said Tuesday it will be made public by Tax Day, April 15, while at the same time disclosing that Obama gave $240,000 to charity last year.
From 1998 through 2006, Obama donated a total of $150,892 to charity.
...The Obamas' income increased dramatically in the past decade.
Obama and his wife, Michelle, earned $181,507 to $272,759 each year from 1998-2004.
Their income jumped to $1.6 million in 2005
...From 1998-2004, they gave between $1,050-$3,400 each year. In 2005, they gave $77,315, including donations to literacy and anti-poverty campaigns and their church. In 2006, they gave $60,307 to charity.
