Income for the country has fallen 3.2% during Obama's term.
By the way, their kids attend Sidwell riends, one of the most elite private schools in DC, maybe the country. A popular school-choice program for D.C.'s poor was shut down by Congress with Obama's approval.

A thousand bonus points to the first journalist who gets the opportunity and uses it to ask the “Christian” Obama why at his income level he couldn’t reach, let alone surpass, the 10% tithing standard.

Nice work by Ayers to write that book - but WTH is still buying that pap? Plus the ALA (American Library Ass) will buy plenty to stock the shelves as public libraries everywhere.

Plenty for the IRS to tax
To: NMEwithin
ey pulled 5.5 mil and all they gave to charity was: $329,100?? Hypocrites... Actually, that's 6% of their annual income to charity. It's not a tithe but it's much better than Al Gore or most liberals.

Maybe in the future we should get the IRS to require a birth certificate be included with tax returns.

The Obamas’ charitable giving has hovered around 6% since he decided to run for President. For years before that, it stayed under 0.5%.
