Santorum's likely a "negative" giver, since his charity is a rip-off... Scuba Feb 2012 #9

I'm guessing it was the vast majority. Also, it's easier to give more when you're making millions. Not sure what Newt and Rick's excuses are.

Not only does Obama give to charity, but he also spends a good amount of time fundraising for them. He also donated his $1 million + Nobel prize money to charity.

Romney donates almost everything to his cult as per their cult requirements so they can recruit more members to their cult. So the next time the Wal-mart slacks wearing, bicycle riding clult members knock on your door at 8am on Saturday, you can thank Willard.

Saint Ronnie fought for years to not release his tax returns when he was running for Prez. When he finally had to relent it was very embarassing. Over the years he had zero contributions to any church or charity. His excuse was that he gave of "his time" in personal appearances.
