President Obama and the first lady on Thursday reported earning $5.5 million in 2009, the majority of which was from the sale of Obama’s books, the White House said.
By contrast, former President Bush and Laura Bush reported a taxable income of $719,274 in 2007.
The Obamas paid nearly $1.8 million in federal income tax and reported giving $329,100 to 40 charities. Their tax return is here.

Give me a break, I bet you don't even know any terrorist, let alone any who will write books for you. It takes a lot of hard work to not write books and make millions.
These people cannot do anything without looking for a pat on the back.
Now, I wonder how they did that? /sarc
Knowing that crowd; I bet they didn’t pay that much in income tax either. Money grubbing jokes.
And without security, food, housing, etc. expenses, too.
How’s his income going to be redistributed?
didn’t report donation to muslim charities.

$4.2 million in 2007.
$2.7 million in 2008.
When did his book come out? Looks like ‘07 is when he profited from his books. How many did he sell?
NO WAY is the majority of $5.5 (’09) from the sale of his book. What’s his salary?
Reminder - his first tax return we heard about (’07)- his charity donation was $200!!
Ping me if hubby finds anything.
:)
I’d say he gave at the office!
Any islamic groups on the list of 40 charities? I doubt he’s that dumb but I’d love to see that list.
The Obama’s only gave a whopping $450.00 to churches. Page 33 and 34 of his return:

Thank you, is there a cash prize involved also since I’m overtaxed?
Good point and memory! It was $1M, wasn’t it?
Will do. He has his CPA license and knows this stuff backwards and forwards.
The first tax return we heard of - thinking it was for ‘07 - it was $200 for charity!! REMEMBER what they are - TAKERS!
Any attempt to make them into something - we know they are not - is not being truthful. Strange how some can’t handle evilness, so they turn it around and hand them some undeserved benefit of the doubt. Con man crave for that.
Exactly.....but one does wonder what they might see as charity groups.
..also seems to me a little of that could have payed for someones surgery who did not have insurance, since insurance has ment to so much to them. hummm...
