Obama releases his tax returns

Returns are linked above

What is surprising, given the recent controversy over Obama's membership in the Trinity United Church of Christ, is how little the Obamas 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.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

IOW, a normal liberal.

Study after study has shown Conservatives give more than liberals.  Liberals are compassionate -- with OPM!
