Such gestures add up to little more than cause-ploitation. Before political scrutiny set in, Obama's family donated a relatively minor amount of its earnings to charity. From 2000 through 2004, the senator and his wife never gave more than $3,500 a year in charitable donations -- about 1 percent of their annual earnings. Most philanthropy from big money is nothing but charitable giving in order to shield their earnings from taxation. Remember to be vigilant and not to be misled by the media.
