Giving Barack Obama His Due

Since I earlier reported the percentages given to church and charities by President George Bush and Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, it seems only fitting that I do the same for U.S. Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Obama.

The Sun-Times reports he and his wife Michelle earned $991,296 last year.

And, they gave $60,307 to charities, including $13,107 to the Congressional Black Caucus 501(c)(3) Foundation, $15,000 to CARE and $22,500 to his church, the Trinity United Church of Christ

The percentage of income given to church and charity?

6.1%.
