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 Obamas increased the amount they gave to charity when their income rose in 2005 and 2006 after the Illinois senator published a bestselling book. The $137,622 they gave over those two years amounted to more than 5 percent of their $2.6 million income.

To be fair God demands a cut, so Romney didn't really have a choice.

Everyone knows Obama is a godless person.

You can't smile that big while lying to the people supporting you and also have a soul.

Looks like the Romney's needed to give another $33 million to charity the last few years to catch up to the Obama's.

It's easy to give away so much when all you do is steal it to begin with... Easy come, easy go as they say.

What, giving away political momentum, his base, and the 2010 election don't count as charity?
