Barack Obama: Just Call Me Ebenezer

Barack Obama released his tax returns last night, and we may need to re-cast Ebenezer Scrooge for the next Christmas Carol performance.

Below is the percentage of the Obama's adjusted gross income that went to charity for each year (and this even includes Rev. Wright's church-o-hate):

2006: 6.1%
2005: 4.7%
2004: 1.2%
2003: 1.4%
2002: 0.4%
2001: 0.5%
2000: 0.9%

At least he had the good sense to start giving a laugh-test amount once he decided to run for President. But c'mon, Barack! This is the audacity of cheapness. Even I'm not this stingy.

So that's what he means when he says that he'll bring change to American. He's talking about his loose change.

One of the more galling aspects of leftists - they want to do good with other people's money.

I wish a candidate would tell a tax and spender "You first, pal" and invite them to begin this very day to give the IRS the difference between what they are paying and what they think they ought to pay (ala Bill Clinton)

so typical of bad D's. Can't manage their own money, but they jump to manage mine and yours.

You don't get it. He can't give more than he gives to "family planning" organizations, "alternative lifestyle" organizations, and "humans don't deserve to enjoy nature" organizations without being hypocritical. They are the holy trinity of the left. It falls into the category of plausible deniability. He's a summer Christian and sun shine Patriot to paraphrase Thomas Paine. The Lemmings are in a for a big surprise. If he is convenient with God what do they thing they will do with them?
