He certainly should have given more (esp. being a politician).
I wonder if you took the self serving $ out if the statement would be true? I know a large % of my annual donations are given to my church.
My church just built a new hall and is building a new gym. Why should I be allowed to deduct my $ for a donation that I'm going to benefit from and which no one other than church members are going to use? I might drop my gym membership to go there to work out.
Edit - I'm not refering to all church donations since churches and various religious groups obviously give many $ to various organizations.
