Okay, this doesn’t bother me. His money, he can do with it what the heck he wants! That’s my conservative philosophy. : )

The definition of hypocrisy is to espouse a belief that you really don’t believe in.

His butt is still stinging over getting spanked on his racist pastor disaster.

Be bothered by Obama's liberal philosophy and what he wants to do with YOUR money!!

Most democrats dont give to charity! Please provide a respectable link for that assertion, as it pertains to middle class Democrats or above. Or are you just talking out of your ass?

You got that right.
How is God gonna damn America through the Trinity United Church of Christ if Obama won’t cough up more dough?

If you’ve ever tended bar or waited on tables, you’d know that it’s a real bummer to see a table of color in your area. I’m speaking from the 80’s, but I’m sure someone will tell me just what the dealygig on that is today.

But he wants me to give him my tax dollars so that he can distribute them as he sees fit. Typical useless bleeding heart hypocrite lib.
To: Responsibility2nd
Ya, but did he donate his used underwear and take it as a tax deduction like the Clintons?

Actually I'm surprised because I thought he'd have provided a lot more financial support for Mr. Wright's 'facility'...
Very odd. A member of the tucc - but he doesn't provide them financial support (or if he does, it is very little).
I guess I'd put this as a 'plus' on his ledger ('no financial support for racist facility'), but an overall negative for general skin-flintiness...

Remember how MSM got all over the Bushs and Cheneys and sKerrys about their donations I need a little reminding here. From my memory, President Bush and especially the Cheneys give very heavily to charity and have never had scathing articles about their amount of given written.

They are both poster childs for affirmative action and what it creates. People who have no respect for the wonderful things they have because the believe they are entitled to it all anyway. When everything is handed to you, regardless of the work you do, you tend to not feel obligated to pay it forward.

Considering that they reportedly gave 20k to Wright’s church, and if this is the ONLY charity they gave to,
their income would be $2mil, right?

I tell you who does the most good: A little Christian church in a rural area. Ditto that.

You don’t give ANYTHING to charities?
How very Liberal of you.
To: Bluegrass Conservative
Okay, this doesnt bother me. His money, he can do with it what the heck he wants! Thats my conservative philosophy. : ) I agree with you there ... but I do take offense at his faux compassion for all the poor and hurting in our country.
Nothing is stopping all these liberals from giving all they want to the causes of the "poor and oppressed."
So Obama gives 1% ... probably mostly to a racist church. Hypocrite. What he really wants is a coercive government to take other people's money at gunpoint and redistribute it.
To: Proud_USA_Republican
Seriously, I wonder if this is THE source of resentment in the black community -
essentially being wards of the state and being treated as if there is no way they can make it on their own merits.
