10 million to charity is really quite terrific. i am sure the vast right wing conspiracy will find something to rip them to shreds with

I'm outraged that they gave only 9% of their income away. I know Obama would give away at least 9.1%

Just kidding. The Clintons' donations to charity are terrific.

What? There was no little item found over which to be outraged?

Yeah, I agree with Mike_P and Pyronite. I think it's wonderful that they give 9%+ to charity. I wish all Americans who could afford it would give money to charity- whether it's for medical research, homeless, education or whatever floats their boat.

Like Pyronite, I'd be interested to know which charities were the beneficiaries. I wonder if any of them were for children's or medical causes.

Good for the Clintons giving some money to charity. I wonder if we'll get a list to see to whom they donate.

That's a lotta money! And as long as it's honestly earned, there's nothing wrong with that. It's good to see they give lots to charity as well, though I'm sure there are tax and other benefits for doing so. Still, it's money for good things, and that's what counts.
