Barack Obama gave thousands of dollars to Trinity United
The Politico reports that Senator Obama released his tax information to the public yesterday. One interesting tidbit: Obama gave $27,500 to his radical church.
in 2005, they gave their highest tally to charity in the seven years — $77,000 — including $5,000 to Trinity United Church of Christ.
The Obamas charitable contributions dropped to $60,000 in 2006, with $22,500 going to Trinity and $13,000 to the Congressional Black Caucus. Obama aides say the couple gave $240,000 to charity last year, though Obama has yet to release his 2007 filing.
Obama’s subsidization of a black liberation theology [see Wikipedia] church and his decades of attendance (except on those days when extremist statements were made) should continue to haunt him throughout the general election. When you are running on character and judgment, that is the criteria by which you will be most closely examined. Rightfully so.
