Heartless Republicans do not give to charities.

President Obama earned big money last year and gave more than most to charity, but his second in command was a bit tight-fisted when it came to digging in his own pocket for donations.
Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his wife, Jill, earned $333,000 in 2009, and gave $4,820 -- 1.44 percent -- of that to charity in cash or in-kind donations, according to their newly released tax forms.
Estimates by charitable organizations show that most givers donate between 3 and 5 percent of their income.
Mr. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama exceeded that range. The first couple gave 5.9 percent -- or $329,000 -- of their $5.5 million of income to charity in 2009.
The Obamas' largest contributions to charity were $50,000 to CARE, a poverty-based organization, and the United ***** College Fund. Mr. Obama also donated his $1.4 million Nobel Prize money, which he gave to 10 charities.
The president's books, "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope," generated the majority of the Obamas' income.
The first couple paid nearly $1.8 million in federal income tax and $163,303 in Illinois income taxes.
The Bidens paid $71,147 in federal income taxes, $12,420 in Delaware income taxes and $1,477 in Virginia income taxes.

Okay, I'll bite. This article doesn't mention any Republicans, just 2 prominent Democrats. How does that justify the title?

Thats freakin pitiful. They can't even give 10%??? I guess I now understand what Jesus Christ was referring too when he said in Mark that the poor widow gave out of her poverty, but the rest gave out of thier riches. I promise if I ever make cheddar that, I would try to give at least 20%.

More proof of those stingy Republicans. Bush donated 23% to Obamas 5%. What a heartless turd.



As you read here, President Obama and wife Michelle released their 2008 joint income tax return, like all recent presidents. They reported $2.7 million in income. Not bad for someone who spent most of the year not working at his elected job in Washington.
The total means Obama will pay a higher tax rate this year under his own tax plans to get the very rich more than they're already gotten.
The taxes also show that last year the couple generously donated $172,000 to 37 charities, not counting not one dime to their former Trinity United Church in Chicago. That's about 6.5% of the liberal couple's adjusted gross income.
Don "The Pirate" Surber points out this morning that Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, donated almost the same amount of money ($166,000) to charity the previous year.
But since Bush wasn't making millions off Obama's book sales, that similar sum was 23% of the Texan's income, nearly four times larger proportionately than the popular Obama's.

Mark
I had not thought of that, you might be onto something.

Oh, I bet I know what "Will" and rest of the libs will say. Obamadonadingalong doesn't need to give money because he gives all of us "hope"

Obama's "Hope" makes this conservative want to puke.
