It is a glaring demonstration of how liberal Obama is. Despite clearly seeing the needs of people around him, he is so focused on the idea that government is the source of solutions that even as he advanced into a financially secure, and even extravagant by most standards, income bracket it never even occurred to him to dig into his own bank accounts to give directly to solutions.
Instead, he acts on the assumption that he need do nothing directly but instead rely on the government to take what is necessary and redistribute it, leaving the rest behind for his own use. The excess of money he has is to him not a sign of personal charitable failure but rather a governmental failure to take what is needed. To him, the solution is not for him to give more but for the government to take more.
Learning that he gave so little is not a sign of hypocrisy but rather a demonstration of the core values he holds most dearly. And this is the very reason we should be wary of electing him to office. For he has been exposed as being just the radical tax-and-spend liberal that any decent conservative should fear seeing in the highest office in the land.
How did I do at channeling Rush?
