McCain will be another Bush, and Jesse said to "Stay out of the Bushes!" Wow. Great responses. Keep up the good work. (B, I like your bloggers.) Oh, Princess, my statement was not ignorant.

Considering where they went to school you can only imagine how much that was. Anyway, we have this view that all politicians are filthy rich and the truth is most are. More often than not they have money coming in from outside sources. Some above the table some below. Here's Barack, who has made some money from writing books and it's finally getting some paper in his pocket and now we're going to get on his case about the amount he's donated. Um, I don't know about you but it's too early in the game for Barack to start switching his style up. If he's made 1 mil in the last year that's not enough to go throwing it away. Please, the people who said that he should be donating more, give me a break. The man has kids and a family. While he's pulling in the paper now, he'd be really foolish if he wasn't investing and saving this newfound money of his. That's what I'd do and I imagine what the rest of you would do as well. Sounds like he's spending his money wisely to me.

More importantly, I'm not worried about how much a candidate is donating to charities I'm more worried about what they can do for the country. To hear he donated something at all is a good thing to know because I don't know what Hillary has donated since she still hasn't released her tax returns, but all of this is besides the point. Considering the fact that Obama WILL be the democratic nominee (unless superdelegates go against the vote of the people causing all Hell to erupt across the country), all of the democrats (including myself) should stop tearing each candidate apart because it is only giving the republicans ammo against us for the general election. We need the Independent "swing votes" to win and tearing Obama down is the last thing we need the swing voters to see.

They don't make millions and millions of dollars a year like most of their political counterparts most of whom are married to housewives which Michelle is not. I doubt very seriously if they could afford to give 30% to charity. Not to mention Barack has been a hands on community servant dedicating his time to charitable causes rather than throwing money at it.

It is not mandatory, nor a responsibility. I swear, he go black people being their usually selves (and yes I am fully black). We always looking for the black person that got something to "give", lol.

Which she is hiding and doesn't want people to se!! Giving back is not always in the form of money. They give their time which is just as valuable. I love you B Scott but I also understand that everyone will justify their candidate anyway. I can't wait to see how you justify her Bosnian lie! There is no justification for that one! I'm loving that you are going to vote for Al Gore! LOL Before you get all on Barack, see Hilary’s tax returns!! Which she is hiding and doesn’t want people to se!!

I just think it is a bit ironic that so many wealthy and conservative people love to throw money at charities while simultaneously voting for and helping to perpetuate many of things they are donating money to end. These actions contradict. With this being the case, is it not more important that we look at what a person has donated of their time and energy to support a cause versus what someone claims to support through funding? I am not at all claiming that funding is not important, but sometimes you can have all the materials needed to make something happen and it still not be carried out if no one puts in the work. The Obamas' life work seems to be committed to making true change and progress. In my eyes, this is the most important form of giving back.
