Obamas pay more than $900,000 in taxes By Sam Youngman Posted: 04/15/09 05:18 PM [ET] The new first family paid more than $900,000 in federal and state taxes this year after President Obama's book sales last year earned him more than $2.6 million.
In addition to paying more than $855,000 in federal taxes, the Obamas also paid more than $77,000 in state taxes in Illinois, according to the White House.
Vice President Biden and his wife, Jill, reported paying $46,952 in federal taxes on "an adjusted gross income" of close to $270,000.
The Bidens paid a little more than $11,000 in state taxes in Delaware.
While the Obamas donated more than $172,000 to charity, including $25,000 gifts to the United Negro College Fund and Catholic Relief Services, the Bidens donated a little more than $1,800.

Yep. If you weren't politically connected, you could be investigated, and it could turn out badly.
Say, did you hear that after Michelle left the hospital to move to DC that the job was discontinued? That really cements the influence peddling aspect of the job fro me.
Sokay.
I’m pretty sure Biden is a serial cheapskate.
$ 1800 is less than $ 40.00/wk to his church.
He was a US Senator last year, his wife Jill a college professor.
He doesn’t pay a dime for healthcare or for commuting—taxpayers pick up that dime.
He campaigned for most of the time last year—so the campaign picked up all of his expenses.
So he is a cheap liberal of the highest order.
LOL
“.......the Bidens donated a little more than $1,800.”

Shoot.....I donate circles around the VP family. And I know I make a whole lot less than Joe.
Show me a cheapskate! (Stand up Joe, Stand up!!!!)
Exactly my thoughts.
N***** Rich
I remember whebn we had cutbacks in our department in Sacramento and the governor’s appointees in our director’s office kept their jobs, even though our director didn’t want them there. A year later one of them was fired for downloading porn on his office computer and someone leaked it to the Sac Bee. Sometimes there is justice.
I just don’t believe it until I see IRS forms.
When you are the chosen afermative action magic negro to pay back for all past sins of the USA all the money will come to you!
FUBO!
Do you know differently? My understanding is he is mortgaged to the hilt and net worth is assets - liabilities.
That’s because he wasn’t running for president then.
