“. . . we still don’t abide by that basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.”
You said it, Barry.
Were you thinking of your biological brother George, living hand-to-mouth in a shack in Kenya? Embarrassed to admit he’s kin to you?
It’s OK, brother George, ‘cause Obama doesn’t believe too much in charity for anyone else either. Or, he never did believe too much in charity until he decided to run for President, when his donations conveniently jumped upwards (although his largest “charity” donations were to the Rev. Wright Church-of-Hate):

Below is the percentage of the Obama’s adjusted gross income that went to charity for each year (and this even includes Rev. Wright’s church-o-hate):
2006: 6.1%
2005: 4.7%
2004: 1.2%
2003: 1.4%
2002: 0.4%
2001: 0.5%
2000: 0.9%
At least he had the good sense to start giving a laugh-test amount once he decided to run for President. But c’mon, Barack! This is the audacity of cheapness. Even I’m not this stingy.
