You didn’t read the OP shame on you. No he didn’t give money he had his staff buy 5K worth of goods and two TVs for his video so he could do a photo op. Where did you get that he donated money to the Red Cross for the huricane relief?edit on 31-10-2012 by Grimpachi because: (no reason given)
Good grief! He only donated 7 million dollars over the last 2 years. How much did you donate?
This should not be a political issue. Shame on you! It's about people in need!
Give credit where credit is due.

Romney’s 2011 tax return shows charitable contributions totaling a little over $4 million, meaning he donated 30 percent of his income. Romney’s 2010 tax return shows charitable contribution of almost $3 million, meaning he donated about 11 percent of his income to charity.
And as for the 20-year summary of the GOP candidate’s tax returns his campaign released Friday, Romney donates on average 13.45 percent of his adjusted gross income to charity each year.
“That’s nearly twice the rate of President Obama, who according to his tax returns from 2000 through 2011 donated just less than 7 percent of his adjusted gross income to charities,” the Washington Times notes.

So the campaign spent its own money to send donations. Oh the horror. Oh the scandal. Typical Romney, doing it from his own warchest/pocket, and not taking credit. What a horrible human being.

Yes really. I didn't see any press releases about the campaign spending its money to send donations. I've never heard MItt Romney flash how much cash he's given to charity all over the TV. When you reach the point where you can't believe your opponent is a decent human being, you've made yourself incredible.

Here is Romney's Official 2011 tax return

Oh and I must say, wake up. No matter what Romney did or didn't do it would be scrutinized. Yes he had to go out and do visible charity work vs cutting a silent check for a mil. It was expected of him by the public. Just like it was expected of Obama.edit on 31-10-2012 by elouina because: (no reason given)
