What a couple of scrouges. Of course the political calculation does not go unnoticed as far as the date they got serious about charity work.

Did that include tithing to that funny church with the funny pastor?

Out of $60K, he gave I think $22K to that racist church.

Ya you guys that is done no one cares anymore and not going to convince anyone that he is racist when he was raised from your his white mom.

I don't buy that the church is racist. Don't they tithe there?

The figures are JOINTLY, meaning it included Michells' charities.

I for one would not question Obama for giving to charity, or even the lack of giving to charity, I simply question the timing of the increase, (yeah, I know.. its politics).

Had the current charity stayed consistant with previous givings, I dont think I would have an issue with it at all. People can choose if they wish to, not required to.

The issue would be Obama's charitable givings, which happen to include a racial church.

Just because he was raised with a white mom, this doesnt mean that the church he attends isnt racists.
