A. His church requires a minimum of 10% charity

B. Obama pays a higher percent taxes

C. Romney gets more tax savings from charity because he is avoiding (legally) death tax

D. Does anyone seriously think that Tax returns are the major issue now?

#5, Those polls are oversampling Democrats. They are assuming D turnout will be even higher than four years ago, which is ridiculous. R voters are energized, D voters are not. All the enthusiasm for 0bama four years ago has evaporated; even those who will vote for him aren’t very motivated, and many of them will wake up on the day and decide not to bother.

I know. I don’t care what anyone says I love Obama. He has done only good for the Jews.

Git Meshige,

WRONG!! The answer is because as an uber socialist liberal democrat, Obama DOESN’T give charity! He is good with money when its yenim’s gelt but when its his own, he’s a major cheapskate.

FYI: Generally, Conservatives (political, of course!)far more than double the charity of liberals.

#2,

Being git meshige is no excuse for doing poorly in math. Romney’s 13.45% is almost 2x more Obama’s 7%, regardless of who makes what. Someone who made $1 million last year may have a much harder time giving a full $100,000 maasser than one who made $70,000 in which case he would give $7,000. If anything, Romney’s 13.45% is twice greater than Obama’s in relative terms, and could be ten times more in absolute terms. In short, while we don’t know much about Romney, we knew even less about Obama. The problem with Obama is that what we know about him is not good at all. Actually, is quite bad.

for #1:

Please read–he gave 13% of his adjusted gross income, so if he made more, he gave more. Either way it’s more than “ma’aser” which is not bad for a non-Jew.

Also take into account how much Obama made selling his book while he was president.
