Embarrassing examples seem to be a Biden trait.

Since the MSM puts sooooo much importance on this:

Palins: $300,000 over 2 years; $8,000 charity: 2.66%
Biden:  $2,450,042 over 10 years; $3,690 charity: 0.15%
National Average: 2.00%

Palin's charity contributions are 17 times greater than Biden. What will the MSM say? I don't know, but whatever they say, you know it's going to be an attack on Sarah Palin.

Biden's tax returns were embarrassing.. No kidding.

But why didn't AP advise its readers of that possibility with the Bidens' returns less than a month ago?

On a Friday? No wonder, after all, it  that they were claiming only showed an average of $369 given to charity each year.

I seem to remember that there was a good amount of media want to show that Biden was one of the lower wage earners in the Senate. I'd imagine that in their view, that would put him much closer in touch with the people and thus, a favored candidate.

...came about, but I do not agree with it.

I certainly wouldn't want mine floating around out there.

It is hard enough to attract truly qualified people to run for office as it is. The truly unfortunate events that unfolded in the House today demonstates this clearly.

Just because someone elects to run for public office does not, in my view, mean they should be required to forfeit their right to privacy.

Of course, if we were to pass the FairTax, their would be no tax returns to release.  :-)

Palin/Anybody other than McPork in '08

I think that Palin's tax returns are being subjected to a greater degree of scrutiny, given the fact that so little is known about her, she got an extension allowing to file her Federal Elections Commission disclosure  due before the debate until after the debate, and Biden's returns were filed long ago.  That and many writers anticipated that she would fail to report income for the per diem and state reimbursement for her family's travel expense.

Don't tell me that this is a sign that there might be something embarrassing. Tell me what is supposedly embarrassing in the tax returns.

If anything, it looks like her tax returns are more a cause for embarrassment to Biden.

BTW, nice catch, Michael. Those are the kind of subtled but significant biases that can often be overlooked.

Don't be too hard on Generous Joe, at least he gave 365 per year Hussein Obama couldn't spare his brother a dime.

The MSM is pulling out all the stops, behaving like Rumplestilskin on LSD. They'll be damned if they're going to let this election get away from them.

AMAZING!!!

Ster.

It is past time for it to be stated that Barack Obama is a crook. His
campaign is crooked. He employs crooks. He associates with crooks.

It is past time to note that the entire press, pundits, fringe, right and
left is in financial bed with Mr. Obama's financiers funding the entire
group.
There is no Truth. Olbermann rants for Obama. Limbaugh
prattles on about things which no one cares about. O'Reilly has a luv
fest with Obama.
The FBI might as well stand for, For oBama
Incorporated, as they know very well of all his money embezzlement and
not one charge filed.

Barack Obama and Michelle Obama have a
long list of odd revenue happenings. He gets to attend Occidental,
Columbia and Harvard on student loans apparently like his wife.
Nowhere
is it listed that either of these two ever held a summer job, so their
job was taking student loan money and living well off the taxpayer for
7 years. Be assured, American taxpayers at Occidental your student loan
for Obama purchased quantities of drugs as part of his living expense
for which the Mexican border and Colombian jungles are littered with
dead people all so Obama could get high on your money.

That if
felony embezzlement of government funds for illegal activity, involving
people being murdered so Obama could get stoned.

In this period,
Barack somehow found enough money in not working to take a trip with
Muslim school mates to Indonesia, Pakistan and he ended up in Kenya.

One knows very well that was taxpayer money in fraudulent use of school loans to take a round the world vacation.
That is the second felony embezzlement of government funds for illegal activity, involving Islamic terrorist states.

He graduates Harvard, gets married and becomes employed as a writer. This
means one is supposed to pay off your student loans. That is not what
Obama did though. No, he and Michelle took another 3 months vacation to
Bali.
Islamic terrorists if one remembers were blowing things up in
Bali with delight and yet Obama goes to Bali, not Hawaii where he
supposedly called home.

Then Barack and Michelle with her as a
lawyer and consultant, him as a lawyer, teacher and legislator are
earning around $200,000 a year for a decade. Still the student loans
are not being repaid.

He did though have money for a $450,000
Chicago condo. Once again one is responsible to pay off student loans,
but Barack and Michelle Obama seemed to have found ways to not pay off
the loans using them instead as low interest subsidies on 6 figure rich
careers while poor people couldn't afford to send their kids to college.

That all changed though when Obama hit the Senate and he cashed in on book deals for $2.27 million dollars.
Obama at this time stated he paid off his student loan. One knows why he did
as it looks bad for millionaire stooges running for the White House
living on million dollar welfare.

Obama states his net worth is
around $700,000, the problem is the book deal and the fact he moved up
to a Tony Rezko mansion he bought for $1.6 million which was 300,000
dollars under market price of $1.95 million in a sweetheart deal
involving Rezko.
Did I mention Rezko is Syrian and he just so
happened to be bankrupt until he got several million dollars from
Saddam's banker, Iraqi Islamocommunist billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi, whom
Obama was entertaining.

Yes Saddam Hussein helped buy Barack Obama his Georgian Mansion in Chicago.

Rezko's wife, Rita, though assisted the Obama purchase by buying the next door
lot for $625,000 and later sold Obama a piece of it so Barry could have
a bigger yard.
In cutting the crap, Rezko got Obama his mansion from
Saddam Hussein's bribes to the west, because Obama was assisting Rezko
in plundering blacks on Chicago's South Side in being a slum lord.

Barry termed his deal with Rezko as dumb. No Barry it was a multiple count
felony, and, still silence from all in the closing weeks to the
election.

Obama's spokesman, Ben LaBolt, is on record
stating that Obama had $3 million later invested in the savings trust
which then gave the Obama's a loan.
Excuse me, FBI check please, as
if they paid off their student loan finally, Obama says he is only
worth seven hundred thousand, was paid over $2 million for the book
deal, where is this other $800,000 coming from?

In any event Obama received a $1.32 million loan from Northern Trust where he took
out a 30 year loan at 5.625 percent which was well under any loans
available to other citizens.
The loan was saving him $300 a month.
At this time, Obama had never did one cent of business with Northern
Trust and yet he gets a special rate loan.
These are the same scam
loans which Democrats Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad received, all like
Obama serving on the Senate finance committees running interference for
these crooked slum lord lenders who just cost the taxpayers a trillion
dollars.

It is all FBI ok though as Obama took over one hundred
thousand from Fannie Mae, Northern Trust gave him $71,000 and convicted
felon Tony Rezko public records show around $40,000 all in Obama
coffers.
This is not unethical only. This is felony illegal in quid pro quo.

The financiers deliberately imploded the derivatives market 2 weeks ago to assist Obama which it did.

Nancy Pelosi deliberately imploded the bail out which will line Warren
Buffetts' Chinese pockets and cost thousands of people their savings so
Obama could have one more week of financial mess to attack John McCain
and scare Americans.

All of these activities are felony crimes
and I don't see one George Will, Katie Couric or any of these countless
other employed right, left or fringe media all being paid out of the
same financial pool which is assisting Obama saying one word about
Obama being a crook.

Obama has brought in illegally over $250
million dollars from foreigners into his campaign to subvert the US
elections. The campaign via Pritzker, Hildebrand, Plouffe and Axelrod
are drying cleaning that money to election fraud groups like ACORN who
say they have registered 1 million new voters.
CSI of New Orleans is
being paid around a million dollars for stage events when it doesn't do
stage events for the Obama campaign and says it is passing the money to
ACORN.

Anyone who knows Tom Daschle and Steve Hildebrand of
South Dakota is well aware of their election fraud in showing up on the
Sioux reservations with cases of cash buying Indian votes for victory.
ACORN is funnelling money into a same election theft scheme.
All
felonies and yet not one word from Congressional Republicans, President
Bush, any pundits right, left or fringe on the national stage.

Barack Obama has lived a 3rd world dictator's life doping and vacationing off
the American taxpayer and now he is implementing a 3rd world theft of
the American election system.

and not one sound from any major
player, not one indictment from a US Attorney like Patrick Fitzgerald
who didn't seem to have problems indicting scooters and not one
investigation by the FBI into the biggest 29 year felony embezzlement
of taxpayer funds and the felony fraud on the US election system.

Where is the Truth in America and is there not one person besides a few
bloggers who are willing to call a crook a crook in Barack Hussein
Obama.

It is anything but a double standard.  It is a concerted effort on the part of these propagandists at the AP to sway the electorate toward bambi (aka 57 states).
