The soaring rhetoric is so often dispelled by Obama's actions. Take the charitable giving thing for instance. Obama cries that our country needs to give more. Alright, fair enough. But if you look deeper, here are some inconvenient facts:
Charitable giving for 2005: Obama made 1.7 million, Bush made $735,000. They gave the same amount to charity.
Charitable giving for 2006: Obama made 3x more than Bush, yet Bush gave more to charity than did Obama.
For both years, the Obama's gave 5.8 and 6.1 to charity. During 8 years of his presidency, Bush gave over 10%.
Even worse, the Biden's gave .15 and .31 percent to charity these same years.
Democrats can claim they care more about the poor, but they sure don't put their money where their mouths are.
I'm not judging what one seems to give, I'm just pointing out the liberal mantra's hypocrisy on the issue when their "leaders" show such a weak leadership in this area.
As one liberal stated famously..... "I'm afraid you've got it wrong. (We) are socialists. We don't pretend to be Christians."
