Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and his wife Michelle gave $10,772 of the $1.2 million they earned from 2000 through 2004 to charities, or less than 1 percent, according to tax returns for those years released today by his campaign. The couple earned more than $2.6 million in 2005 and 2006, combined, after the Illinois senator published a bestselling book in 2005. They donated $137,622 over those two years and made their church, Trinity United Church of Christ, one of the biggest beneficiaries of their philanthropy, donating $27,500. Obama is under scrutiny for his ties to the church because of comments made by its senior pastor.
Stingy. I don't give a lot to charity, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 1 percent--and I make a whole let less than the Obamas. And now that the Obamas are loaded, who benefits? Rev. Wright. My question: how much money does Obama give to his racist grandmother?
