I'm not one to keep tabs on politicians income and charitable giving ... so this could be the norm. However, Obama gave only about 5% of his income to charity this past year. Come on people! Average Americans making 1% of what the Obama's made last year give much more than 5% of their income to charities. His example of generosity is pathetic.

I would be interested to know precisely which charities he (or his advisor) donated to.
The article states, "Among the charitable donations in 2007 was $26,270 to Trinity United Church of Christ, where the incendiary sermons of Obama's former pastor have created problems for the candidate. The Obamas' largest charitable donation was $50,000 to the United Negro College Fund. They also gave $35,000 to CARE."
that says alot.
