Obama and his wife have a hard time making ends meet on only $480,000 a year, plus the money they receive from book sales, I heard his wife complain about that, you know paying for piano and dance lessons and everything else for themselves. That must be the reason she doesn't like this country.

And this is relevant why...?

Goodness the man has a grandmother in one of the poorest country in the world not to mention other families also in Kenya. I'm actually suprise that he gave as much as 1% to charity.

How much did YOU give? Not that your or Obama's amount of giving is anybody else's business but God's. Since Obama is a poor misguided ignoramus who needs us to tell him where he should or should not attend church as well as whom to choose for his pastor, friend and "spiritual" advisor, are we now to look further down our pompous, hypocritical noses and demonize him also for ONLY giving 1-5% of HIS money to charity? Does that prove he's not a Christian in YOUR sight or does it just prove he'll be never be good enough for YOU?

who cares? how much did you give? bought some girlscout cookies? you should feel good for yourself!

We could see how much the Clintons gave to charity if they released their tax returns.

The Cheneys gave more than three-quarters of their income - $6,869,655 - to several charities, including George Washington University's Cardiothoracic Institute and a charity for low-income high school students in the Washington, D.C. area, Capital Partners for Education.

What a crappy news article - it contradicts itself almost immediately after the misleading headline.

"The $137,622 they gave over those two years amounted to more than 5 percent of their $2.6 million income. "
