Funny we never see similar financial openess from the Chosen One.
Wouldn't that be revealing?!
Especially considering that he and the Mrs raked in nearly $4mm--
Any honesty from Obama would be a miracle. Check this post out, you'll find it interesting.

Thanks for clarifying, DR. Now I get it--
Obama and Biden are all for 'giving to the poor,' so long as they're enabling, ooh, I mean, 'giving' with taxpayer $$ and not their own.
Let me assume that 'charity,' too, is defined differently by the Democrats than by the rest of the free world (and no doubt they'd claim the rest of us have it wrong)
What a bunch of bozos.

When your campaign has this kind of money, you're after more than a Presidency....
I hope the Obama campaign gets what it has coming. It is ridiculous what the media has allowed them to get away with and fundraising is just the tip of the iceberg.
Obviously, the democrats are far more interested in doling in the dollars, rather than doling them out: unless, naturally, the doling out is at our expense.
Uncharitable and cheap.
Max,
Unfortuantely, it is not surprising at all huh?
