Obama Releases 2000-2006 Tax Returns.


Barack Obama released his 2000-2006 tax returns:


2006 Return
2005 Return
2004 Return
2003 Return
2002 Return
2001 Return
2000 Return

What is surprising, given the recent controversy over Obama's membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ, is how little the Obamas apparently gave to charity -- well short of the biblical 10% tithe for all seven years. In two of the years, the Obamas gave far less than 1% of their income to charity; in three of the years, they gave around 1% of their income to charity. Only in the last two years have they given substantially more as their income skyrocketed -- 4.7% in 2005 and 6.1% in 2006. (Of course, it is possible that the Obamas may have made gifts to other worthy causes that were not deductible for federal income tax purposes.)

And what about McCain? Speaking of McCain. Nancy Reagan endorsed McCain. And here is another bit of news:

A very famous conservative professor and former White House lawyer during the Reagan and Bush I administrations endorsed Obama.Not surprisingly, he defends his endorsement impressively clearly articulating Obama's cross-appeal.
