Obama is generous with YOUR money and stingy with his own.

Obama wants to be generous to poor people in Africa - with YOUR money, while his own half brother lives on $12 a YEAR. He is very stingy with his own. Despite making well over $1,000,000 in family income from 2000 to 2004, the Obamas listed less than $11,000 in charitable contributions for all five years combined

If you think the Obamas just didn't want to claim their legal deductions, they had no problem in 2005 and 2006. Also note that the year Obama became senator his income jumped 700% from $200,000 to over $1.6 MILLION.

No wonder Rev Jeremiah Wright doesn't have anything good to say about Obama, HE DIDN'T EVEN TITHE!

Hannity said he would donate $1000 towards Obama’s brother to help him get a new house. This is something I suggested a week or so ago. Conservatives/Republicans should donate $50,000 (small money if everyone chips in) to buy him a brand spanking new house. The ad would be worth 20X that.

Ahh yes.... 2005+2006 when people would be looking, Bambi gets generous.

Political donations are not tax deductible, so would not be on his income tax returns. It might be on opensecrets.org

Instead of giving him a house, pay his tuition at the trade school he wants to go to, help him with food and rent while he is in school and then help find him a job. THAT is compassionate conservatism.

I think it was his book deal... which is a great technique for funneling bribes.

I know a guy here in Texas that buys THOUSANDS of books written by politicos he has an 'interest in'. Its really just a way to shift money to the politico.

McCain should offer George the free use of one his houses to stay in where he can watch the televised day of the election when his @sshole brother loses the election.

Or better yet, have some wealthy GOP guys buy George a house and then bring him over here to live and give him a job somewhere.

They should hire him as a community organizer for a salary of $50,000/yr and then have him do nothing.

Don’t forget about the school in Kenya he was going to donate to. Now a blogger has picked up where obama left off:

That is a freaking disgrace. We give more than that to our church in two years. Not bragging, we just do.

This is a normal pattern with the socialist rat politicans. They just love to confiscate money from other people (ie., taxpaying, traditional American families, AKA "Republicans") and use it to buy the votes of their parasite "base".

You don’t believe it? Even CNN has a reporter on it, but the editors buried it:

The CNN story says he lives on less than a dollar a day, not a dollar per month.

I can buy that. As I said, millions of people around the world survive on a dollar/day.

And didn’t Cindy and John McCain just donate $25,000 to hurricane victims or was it the Red Cross?

[Lumper20]

I thought “ Friends of Obama” gave millions to Odingo or whatever the heck his name is? I guess this one pissed a relative off?

He wrote two books !!!!!!!
