proving the difference between conservative and liberal "compassion" with facts

First, lets look at how "poor" they are:
At the Democratic National Convention, for example, there were heartfelt tributes to the daunting self-sacrifice of both Barack and Michelle Obama for passing up lucrative jobs to work in "public service" -- which apparently is now defined, such as in Michelle Obama's case, as "working as a 'diversity coordinator' at a big city hospital for $300,000 a year."
Meanwhile, the average salary for a lawyer with 20 years or more experience in the U.S. is a little more than $100,000.

I have said and proved for years that liberals want to help the poor by taking your money and giving it to the poor, conservatives choose to give the money to whom they want...actually making conservatives more "compassionate"

According to their tax returns, in 2006 and 2007, the Obamas gave 5.8 percent and 6.1 percent of their income to charity. I guess Michelle Obama has to draw the line someplace with all this "giving back" stuff. The Bidens gave 0.15 percent and 0.31 percent of the income to charity.

Meanwhile, in 1991, 1992 and 1993, George W. Bush had incomes of $179,591, $212,313 and $610,772. His charitable contributions those years were $28,236, $31,914 and $31,292. During his presidency, Bush gave away more than 10 percent of his income each year. For purposes of comparison, in 2005, Barack Obama made $1.7 million -- more than twice President Bush's 2005 income of $735,180 -- but they both gave about the same amount to charity. That same year, the heartless Halliburton employee Vice President Dick Cheney gave 77 percent of his income to charity. The following year, in 2006, Bush gave more to charity than Obama on an income one-third smaller than Obama's. Maybe when Obama talks about "change" he's referring to his charitable contributions

The real truth is President Obama doesn't care about anything but Big Government. He will make us all slaves to taxes and Super big brother.

That's a nice thought to consider, more taxes, more regulation, will lead to more recession, possible depression.

since some do not just take my word as fact, I love to constantly prove how correct I am...
