Dude, I don't expect you to follow Pop's lead, but he gave 23% just to charity. He's making you look very bad. How is Obama in this area? Does he even give 1% to charity? And do you want Obama to follow his Pop's lead and indulge in polygamy? Up until recent years when their income increased sharply from book revenues and a Senate salary, Obama's family donated a relatively minor amount of its earnings to charity. From 2000 through 2004, the senator and his wife never gave more than $3,500 a year in charitable donations -- about 1 percent of their annual earnings. huffingtonpost.com
