The Obamas:

Also, in 2010, President Obama gave an additional 1.4 million to charity:

Add that in and for 2010 the Obamas neared 100% donated when compared to income.

Finally, the Bidens:

So the Biden’s gave a little over 1.4% to charity, meager by comparison to the tops of the tickets, but still slightly more than the Ryans.

Again, in summary, for 2010:
(Effective Tax Rate%, Charitable Givings %)
Obama : 26% _, 95.2%
Romney: 13.9%, 16.4%
Biden : 23% _, 1.4%
Ryan. : 15.9%, 1.2%

You need to add the Nobel award to Obama’s income.
