Obama's charity
Barack Hussein Obama has released financial records. This is an excerpt showing how giving they are:
The Obamas also became more charitable as their incomes grew larger. In 2000, the couple gave $2,350 to charity, or about 1 percent of their total gross income.
In 2006, they donated $60,307 to charities, or about 6 percent of their gross income.
In 2005, the Obamas note a $5,000 donation to the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where the controversial Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., was Obama's pastor. If Obama tithed more regularly to the church, there's no record of it in these tax returns.
