Obama releases 2009 tax returns - Income $5.5 million

[Solus]

I donated to 3 non profits.

1.  A local wrestling club that I coach at. ( giving back what I was given)

2. a local judo club I'm a member of( remodeled the dojo for free)

3. A local homeless teen shelter.  Over the last 5 years I've donated about 200k to then in goods/ labor. 

All of those are very well run non profits, They better the local comunity. 

Good Work, TAB.

Charity should be handled at the local level.   You will get twice the benefit from the money spent over what you get going through the government bureaucracy

I agree with Solus and , oddly enough, TAB.
Charity should be handled locally, it should be the community helping one of it's own.
I will add that being a Bullsh$t artist seems to pay pretty darn well.

Supposedly it was mostly from book sales.

I'm still amazed/sickened at the fact that you simply cannot turn around anymore without something Obummer or his wife staring you in the face.  OK he was the first Black President, I get that and I'm happy for him in that regard, but please, do I HAVE to see his face on every magazine cover, every week?  Is it just me or is there more pictures of him and his family in print and on the TV then any other President in history?
As I've noted before the Chair Farce Exchange at Andrews has what amounts to a shrine set up in the lobby.  I never saw W plates and apparel, or bronze statues.  You hardly see that for Washington or Lincoln.

And should he not be stripped of all those procedes Isnt it illegal for a sitting president to personally profit from it?

Corrected for accuracy.

Just an average hard working Joe.  A typical under appreciated and under paid educator.  A servant of the people just being minimally compensated for his time and added expenses.

$5.5 million 

And, he claims to understand the plight of the average American

He might not understand the plight, but he understands 'the masses' very well...like an angler understands a trout.

Do you watch Deadliest Catch?  Last season one of the captains found his fortune by watching for bubbles and smelling the air ... crab farts!  BHO is making his fortune by kicking the S**T out of us ... can you smell it
