Obama Gave 1% to Charity

• I am sure that his 1% in cold hard cash is more than my 15% in cash, however overall the point is of course that normal people who believe in charity give more in percentages to charity than most Progressive Liberals do. A person who is very rich and gives 1% is not feeling the lack that a person who is not rich, gives out more (in percentage) out of their salaries. However, for a person who believes in charity, it is a way to be thankful for the blessings that we do have as others will always have it worst. For a person that says that we should give our fair share, he is obviously not practicing what he preaches. Obviously our fair share is to be given to the government not to charity, but of course he may not necessarily put it that way, but we all know that is what he means.

• More proof that conservatives are more charitable than liberals. Although Romney isn't conservative in my book, he is religious. This just backs up the experiment in which people in a conservative section of the country dropped more in a Salvation Army bucket than liberals in San Francisco. The disgusting thing is that the corrupt media has people brainwashed into thinking conservatives are mean and liberals are generous, when it's just the opposite when it comes to personal charity.

  • I think that their charity is to give to THEIR church = The Government. Government is not a charitable foundation and it is definetly not the object nor reason for worship (for normal people). That is the problem here. They may give a lot to politicians (their priest or pastors) and to governmental institutions in order to get their "blessings". It is very weird and strange to put it that way, but I am sure you know what I mean. If the Government is their god, then it makes sense that their belive their personal charity is for the government not for ACTUAL charity. Whereas conservatives and others like religious people will actually give money to actual individuals and groups in need via true personal giving, not through the government. That is I think the center of difference between conservatives and liberals.

• Most people give more percentage wise at the Salvation Army Kettle then "Dear Leader" and his pals.

• Like the Reggie Love / Larry Sinclair comment....hilarious. I'm sure 'light in the loafers' Lindsey Graham and Obama are special friends too.

• We've been trying to tell the Wall Street Protesters that he is a 1%er.

• Obutthead is a true practicing socialist/communist/democrat (whats the difference?) ruling class member. Sharing is for everyone else except the members of the Central Committee and certainly not the Chairman of the Central Committee.
  Besides, I'll bet the 1% was "donated" to his re-election.

• Oh wait, I know, I know!

  Dear Leader gave that 1% out of pure generosity and the love that burns in his heart for Economic Justice, but the Rethuglipig only did it as a tax write-off!

  Is that it, honey?

  Don't forget the Bible story of the "Widow's Mite," either; it's one of those bits of Christianity you can twist into Red agitprop.

  • PD, you are on a roll! Love it.

  • The love that sizzles in his straight shooter crack pipe is his only true love, the rest is just window dressing.

• Uh-oh, where's Princess Bedpan to tell us the "Conservatives give more" headline is a pack of lies?

  • This is just one example, and probably a trumped up one by a right wing Rush listener to boot! It doesn't apply to ALL libtards...er Democrats.
