Is there no shame amongst America's journalists? Weve been force fed all these Obama puff pieces for the last year now by virtually every media outlet possible. Now, amidst the Beijing Olympics, crisis in Eastern Europe, disasterous flooding in Florida, an always volatile situation in the Middle East, the U.S. about to close on a deal to get the troops home, the ASSOCIATED PRESS, a supposedly unbiased entity of journalistic integrity cant find a more newsworthy story to report on then this? Keep drinking the kool-aid, America.

I am sure you share the same outrage over the way the 'Left Wing" biased media when they crucify the right on a dail basis. But when it happens to you...boo hoo. Liberalism is a Mental Disorder! You certainly prove that correct.

I'm surprised that they didn't take this one down as most of the posts don't agree with their liberal position. They removed the posts from the police helicopter article this morning for the same reason. Ther took down the one about police funeral parades last week. It seems that every week they take down several articles that the readers don't give the desired reactions to.

the phrases word-barf and printed-diarrhea come to mind.
somebody must have been booted from a middle school newspaper.
good lord.

Talks about helping fellow man like he's a saint, according to the last tax file's available gave 1-5% of his income to charitable causes, McCain family 76% of their income went to charitable causes....Just a little difference, Obama talks about owning houses, obtained his with a deal involving a now convicted felon.

That 5% to 76% number you're throwing around is ridiculous.
John & Cindy McCain DO NOT give away
76% of his $$$ to charity.
Who are you trying to kid?
You're making matters worse - don't be irresponsible.
Or are you lying on purpose?

Maybe it's just the "ringard" side of my psyche that found this article "cute." Reading between the lines, however, one learns from it a bit more about Obama. I don't find this trivial at all. On the contrary, I find it quite illuminating for it shows a human side to him, with all his paraphernalia and "knick-knacks"...clu es to his personna. They reveal to me someone who has an appreciation for the past, takes pleasure in the present, and has a hope for the future.

This list makes him sound like about l% or less of Americans. A foreigner and an elitist with little in common with me, for sure. Yet the Republican politicians are always being criticized for being the ones out of touch with the average American. I must be missing something.

hey jimmie the grate..do us a flavor...lern to rite and reed to..in oddur werds..stop yer lying...too..

neither one of these two have room to brag about, mccain
was a womanizer a sot.. tied to lobbyists (whom he says he wants to get rid of)uh huh?
slowbama tied to crooks.there isnt a dimes difference between them except for their race..

Yeah, and that translates how? Just because you're in love with him, doesn't mean he'll be a good President. He's a Communist and the average person on the street is starting to wake up to that fact.

I don't think he's much of a candidate, but it's quite a stretch to call him a Communist.

Obama is a Marxist. He espouses the same polices and programs as did Karl Marx. This is all we need to know about this character. He has no business being President of the United States. The truth is, he wasn't even a good community organizer in Chicago.

You mean wealth redistribution? I don't disagree, but you could say the same for most politicians. Bush just did the same thing with the tax "rebates". It's too bad the Republicans didn't nominate Ron Paul so that there would be a legitimate candidate.

I heard His mother was a jackal.

Vote for me in november!

Commander Bunny in 2008!

John McCain Discloses Data on His Charity Giving

By Grant Williams

Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, has released his tax returns for the past two years, including details about the money he donated to charitable causes.

In 2007, the Arizona senator reported $405,409 in total income and contributed $105,467, or 26 percent of his total income, to charity.

In 2006, Mr. McCain said he had $358,414 in total income and donated $64,695, or 18 percent of his total income, to charity.

The tax returns were filed solely by Mr. McCain. His wife, Cindy McCain, an heir to a beer distribution company in Phoenix who has reported wealth of $100-million, files a separate return each year and does not plan to release her tax returns.

A statement from Mr. McCain’s campaign said that most of the senator’s charitable contributions were made to the John and Cindy McCain Family Foundation, which makes direct contributions to charities.

The senator and Mrs. McCain each make gifts to their foundation, which is focused on helping organizations that work “for the spiritual, educational, and medical needs of the community.”

Mrs. McCain has donated the same amount to charity as her husband — a total of $170,162 for each of them — over the past two years, his campaign said.

The private foundation’s informational tax returns are available on the campaign’s Web site.

On its Web site, the campaign posted a list of the organizations that have received gifts from the McCain family foundation in the past two years.

In 2007, the foundation provided a total of $78,250 to charities, including $25,000 to Operation Smile, which repairs facial abnormalities in children and young people, and $25,000 to the Halo Trust, which removes debris left behind after wars, especially land mines.

In 2006, recipients of the foundation’s $187,639 in total gifts included Brophy College Preparatory school, in Phoenix,$50,500; and Christ Lutheran School, in Phoenix,$42,639.

Mr. McCain’s campaign said he donates his royalties from his books to charities and that “this sum has totaled over $1,800,000 since 1998 when he signed his first book deal.” The campaign said his book income added up to $256,898 for 2006 and 2007.

The senator’s campaign also said that Mr. McCain has donated to charity a total of $450,000 since 1991— money he received from increases in his Senate salary —“because he opposed the Congressional pay increase at that time and pledged not to accept the pay raises.”
