When Did Our Leaders Get So Greedy?
Original Air Date: October 4, 2008 AudioLink_2008_1004
Show Category: Politics
Show Description: Sarah Palin released her taxes this past week; thus completing the financial picture of all those in this Presidential election. I have to say I am astonished at the lack of charitable giving by Palin, Biden, and Obama. Biden was the worst. In the past 10 years, while making close to $200,000 per year, he has never given more than $1,000 to charity. What does it say that our leaders are so stingy. Join the conversation as we look at generosity and what that says about a person's core

Click here for a spreadsheet my producer made detailing the charitable giving of all the Presidential candidates and Presidents from the past.

Quotes to Live By
"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him [Jesus]: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg - or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the son of God: or else a madman or something worse."
-C.S. Lewis

Prayer Request from a Listener
I am 27 years old smoker with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I cant seem to find the strength to quit smoking, eat better and start exercising. I have 2 children and want to be around as long as I can for them. Please help me pray for the motivation and strength to make these changes in my life. Thank you.
