What Newt knows but won’t admit … that these Americans who reached out to the government for food stamps ALSO earn paychecks from the private sector.

It’s not an “either … or” choice. Newt. An American who qualifies and collects food stamps also earns a paycheck.

He didn’t watch the debates ?  Why not ? They’re talking about him. And Barry is interested in Barry.

Of course he watched every minute. In recent elections where Dems were clobbered. Obama always said he wasn’t watching. He’s not above it or anything else.
 
Two words Ba loney.

What a non-factual mistruth.

Ah, so it’s all Bush’s fault. Again.
Boy, bet you didn’t see THAT plot twist coming!
(insert large Rodney Dangerfield eye roll here…)

As of today the amount of people on food stamps is 45% higher than 2008.  It’s only going up, not down.

One coincidence? Two coincidences?

There is no democracy after the coup. Our next election is shaping up to be as big of a sham as the last. Do you know why Sarah Palin’s bus tour was really canceled? Do you know why she stayed 30 miles away from the second debate and chose the death of Steve Jobs to announce that she’s not running? Know what leaked out? Sarah Palin and Cain aren’t in the race for the same reason, the truth leaked out. The link in my name exposes the biggest cover up in history

Liar, Liar Pants on Fire!  Twice the numbers of Americans today under Obama, as were on under Bush.   SPIN Machine go to work!

Why not?

Uh, probably because they’ve said nothing serious, aren’t credible and are playing to the GOP pitchforkers.

Why isn’t the increasingly-growing private sector paying these growing non-union employees decent enough wages to be able to afford food?

When Obama has gas, it’s because he ate too many  Bush’s Baked Beans.  When his finger bleeds, it’s cuz he pricked it on a thorn bush.  When he gets hammered, it’s cuz he drank too much Busch Lite. 

“Obama didn’t, however, want to get into the beliefs of some that Gingrich’s comment and others of its kind was racially tinged.”
That’s cuz he knows he’s got the good people at Mediaite and most of the rest of the media to do that for him. 

By now EVERYBODY should realize that all lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists are habitual, chronic, pathological LIARS. It’s part of their make-up which EXCLUDES ethics, morals, honesty, social values, etc. This is best illustrated by the people they revere – like ted kennedy, who began his illustrious career by being expelled from Harvard for cheating, went on to drown Mary Jo Kopechne at Chappaquiddick while drunk, and then turned to a life of more drinking and debauchery punctuated by brief periods in CONgress to shaft hard-working, taxpaying American citizens to give freebies to slugs, slackers, deadbeats, liars, freeloaders, losers, taxpayer-leeches, cheats, ILLEGALS and potheads. And then, of course, there is bill “monica-stain” clinton, whose immense short-comings need no elaboration. And “YOU LIE!” OBOZO-the-Clown, who’s nickname says it all.

d-cRAT socialists totally lack a rational, humanist foundation. The latter, in a lunatic-leftist, is replaced by an all-consuming devotion to their warped ideology, which is manifested, to them, in an all-controlling, all-powerful, omnipresent, nanny BIG GOVERNMENT which, for them, is equivalent to a deity. 

THE TRUTH:
Food Stamp Recipients:
On OBOZO’s Inauguration Day = 32 MILLION
TODAY = 46 MILLION ( An Increase of 45 % – the biggest increase in the shorted time in history))

Why are these non-union, hard-working, paycheck-earning Americans reaching out to the government for help in the form of food stamps to feed their families? They don’t have to, you know.

I would click the link but I’m afraid.  Very, very afraid.  It’s one of those red pill/blue bill moments like in The Matrix. 

I believe him.  If he was forced to endure more than 10 minutes of criticism he’d have a breakdown. 

He has other channels to watch comedy. 

Obama after watching the first few GOP debates. 
http://drkatesview.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/obama_laughing.jpg 

That’s it…blame everyone but yourself Obama…what a broken recotrd.

Let’s be perfectly clear…in Turk’s libertarian utopia, all of these people would be denied foodstamps.  There would be no foodstamps. Presumably they would all be eating “bootstraps.” Just be honest about that.

So if “Biden” is somehow related to “Bin Laden” because of “Bi” and “den”… what happens to the “n La”?

But aren’t food stamps good? So we should be thanking Bush. Got it

Obama is trying to create jobs! Republicans are just trying to score political points. Obama 2012.   

Evidence?

yeah you could end up like that bald dude that betrayed morpheus. 

The Media will not dare touch this.

Besides Georgia, more States will be Certifying Obama’s eligibility to be on the ballot in 2012.

MUST READ:

Obama accused of disrespecting court, state, Americans
‘My belief is if Supreme Court held he was ineligible, he might simply ignore the ruling’

http://www.wnd.com/2012/01/obama-accused-of-disrespecting-court-state-americans/

Why bother watching Gingrich, a man who clearly doesn’t care if what he says makes any sense? Why watch an obsessive homophobe like Santorum? Why watch a boring flip-flopper like Romney? See why he doesn’t watch them? It is impossible to imagine why he would, actually.

Because they want to pay low, low wages. Keep them as low as possible.  

It’s all in the handbook.  Rules for Radicals.  Barry the Marxist is going to do whatever he can to make taxpayer feel more pain.

Some people turned into Obama’s SOTU comedy routine Monday, but 27% tuned out within 5 minutes. And then he does more interviews. Overexposed.

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/another-look-at-the-state-of-the-union-address-27-turned-away-after-first-5-minutes_b109019

When I see the letters “wnd” in a link, it’s like when you see “dailykos.” It’s just not worth reading.

I hope this big-eared, cigarette-smoking, finger-pointing, blame-shifter gets his head handed to him in November. Everyone knows that Libs need dependent voters who feast on OBAMO’s ‘stash.’ The less responsibility OBAMNO takes, the more people will resent him.

So I say, ‘Carry On!’

Recent as in last year???  2011 was kind to the democrats.

 (oOOPs, I hit ‘liked’ by mistake)

How is it that these TeaBaggers forget that Bush was President for 8 years and led us into the biggest economic collapse since the Great Depression and was losing 750,000 jobs a month.
Face the facts……THAT’S THE ROOT OF THE FOOD STAMP INCREASE.

Where’s the evidence from Newt that it’s an exclusive choice? either food stamps or a paycheck?

He’s a Marxist that gets millions in campaign donations from Wall Street. 

DerpDerp.

Did anyone actually expect Obummer to actually take responsibility for once instead of blaming Bush?? Not so much!!

The funny thing is that during the Bush years, their constant refrain was “CLINTONDIDIT!!!”

“Obama is trying to create jobs”.

Great.  I’m trying to build a space machine to fly to the moon but I have absolutely zero idea how to do it. 

Aaron, you forgot to take your meds again.

You are a liar. 
2008 = 28.4 million
http://www.fns.usda.gov/ora/menu/Published/SNAP/FILES/Participation/2008CharacteristicsSummary.pdf 
2010 = 40.3 million
http://www.fns.usda.gov/ora/menu/Published/SNAP/FILES/Participation/2010CharacteristicsSummary.pdf 

That is NOWHERE near “double” unless you can’t do simple arithmetic. You are a conservative, probably not unlikely. 

So, yes, Obama has added people to the food stamp rolls just like his predecessor did!  You can argue about the numbers (added) if you want, but, Obama inherited a much bigger & far reaching recession than Bush. People applying for food stamps is directly proportional to that variable.

You should also read this.
http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2012/01/17/campaign-renews-scrutiny-of-growing-food-stamp-program/ 

what an absolute fraud, you libs forget that the libtards took over the house in 2007, and you morons like to forget that the clinton admin changed the food stamp rules and actually advertised for people to sign up but the repubs in congress did such a good job running the economy by forcing clinton to go along with their policies that welfare went down, of course, this man child president has no character so nothing is his fault, you losers are in for a rude awakening jan 2013

Anti Obama and poor reading comprehension. You rarely see those two qualities together. The man said that Bush increased eligibility for food stamps, not that he increased the number of recipients.

Facts don’t matter to Teabaglicans…do they:http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/story/2012-01-18/fact-check-gingrich-obama-food-stamps/52645882/1?wpisrc=nl_wonk 

You can’t handle the truth.

Obama snubbed the Judge!

You may want to call Newt up, he wants to build a manufacturing plant on the moon.  Good luck trying to get there.  

bush had over 50 months of job growth. then in Jan 2007 something happened. The Dems took over the house and the economy started to tank. Its not just Bush’s fault. He could not spend without congresses approval

So, he shuts down the only truly shovel-ready job prospect, the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Could be. Google Blogger is full of surprises 

Birther alert!  

Yeah they are related. It’s his step uncle’s brother’s cousin.

Who’s Aaron?

USA Today has evidence that Bush was the food stamp President. Food stamp fact check. Under Bush 14.7 million enrolled for food stamps,
under Obama so far 14.2 million signed up for food stamps. We all know
that a great many who  signed up under Obama were due to Bush’s recession..

“QUALIFIES” – is where your problem lies!

You used to be Aaron Fleszer, age 37, MI; Who are you today? Don’t forget the NSA is monitoring.

In truth it is really funny to ask the Black Dude who was elected president to discuss if RACE matters.. LOL.. What can he possibly say..it didnt stop him vs. McCain/Palin’s race/religion related campaign.. oh, wait.. I remember, I just responded earlier to an article that claimed Democrats do the race-baiting.. My bad, must be a bad historical blip.

There are already a lot of shovel ready jobs.  The Keystone Pipeline will just help in exporting more refined oil to Asia.  Currently gasoline is our top export.   The Nebraska legislation is currently blocking the pipeline permits

Bush and his regime are to blame you moron.Just because you Republican Tea-party people have limited brain space and selective memory does not mean all Americans do.

I’m John Wayne’s sister Chelsena

Have Newt help you.

ah so you can blame Obama without mentioning congress (which has made it their goal to see anything good in the economy, and “make Obama a one term president”), but now you use the Democratic run congress to blame Bush’s mistake on?

You must have amnesia.  

Obama – the Liar in Chief.

This guy has responsibility for nothing.

Direct payments. The amount of money the federal
government hands out in direct payments to individuals steadily
increased over the past four decades, but shot up under Obama,
climbing by almost $600 billion — a 32% increase — in his first three
years. And Obama’s last budget called for these payments to climb
another $500 billion by 2016, at which point they would account for
fully two-thirds of all federal spending.

People getting benefits.

According to the Census Bureau
49% now live in homes where at least one person gets a federal benefit —
Social Security, workers comp, unemployment, subsidized housing, and
the like. That’s up from 44% the year before Obama took office, and way up from 1983, when fewer than a third were government beneficiaries.

Food stamps. This year, more than 46 million (15% of all Americans) will get food stamps.
That’s 45% higher than when Obama took office, and twice as high as the
average for the previous 40 years. This surge was driven in part by the
recession, but also because Obama boosted the benefit amount as part of
his stimulus plan.

http://news.investors.com/Article/598993/201201260805/entitlements-soar-under-president-obama.htm

Yeah, Obama is the Liar -in-Chief.

Obama, remember when you said that Bush adding  $4 trillion to  debt in 8 yea was “unpatriotic?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kuTG19Cu_Q

Well, you have added $4. 4 trillion in just 3 years!! You must be an outright traitor.

Two wars and the tax cuts, which were the biggest drains on the economy, were championed by Bush and passed by a congress his party controlled.

Nice try, though.

facts don’t matter to you.

BTW Obama has been in office only 3 years compared to Bush’s 8.

Food stamps. This year, more than 46 million (15% of all Americans) will get food stamps.
That’s 45% higher than when Obama took office, and twice as high as the
average for the previous 40 years. This surge was driven in part by the
recession, but also because Obama boosted the benefit amount as part of
his stimulus plan.

U.S. Food-Stamp Use Reaches Record 45.8 Million, USDA Says

November 02, 2011, 1:24 AM EDT

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-11-02/u-s-food-stamp-use-reaches-record-45-8-million-usda-says.html

OK, That made me chuckle. LOL

Oh, I see. Raise the floor so that it becomes a ceiling, so that if one makes too little income, then that one can’t qualify for food stamps.

Or, in your perfect world, let the free market plummet wages and raise food prices. Force everyone to accept Jesus in order to get a meal that day from the Church of Our Benevolent One-Percent.

Have you heard the news that that job growth was almost entirely spurred by profoundly flawed investments in derivatives tied to cheap credit and fraudulent credit? Bush, Congress (both sides of the aisle) and Wall Street did nothing to stop it. If you haven’t heard, you should catch up on a few years of news. 

Yeah, Obama had nothing to do with the shape the economy is in.

Now that’s funny.

BTW, average unemployment under Bush was 5.3% Under Obama- 9.2%

Nice lie- got more?

I didn’t  blame Obama. read my post. and you do know that the house has sent over 30 jobs bills to the senate that harry reid will not even bring up for discussion let alone vote on. Its a two way street but you choose to just blame oneside

you’re right i agree completely. doesn’t change the fact the economy went in the toilet when the democrats took over the house in 2007. and the fact that the democratic senate has not put forth a budget in over two years nor taken a vote on 30+ jobs bills sent over from the house

http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/9/4/03534.shtml

At least we’re in agreement that it was Bush’s expensive and irresponsible initiatives that are most responsible for sinking the economy.

 About as predictable as Republicans forgetting their conservative idol, George W. Boosh, was in charge when the economy crashed.
The party of personal responsibility still wants to pretend the economic crisis didn’t begin until Jan. 2009.

You qualify for  food stamps if your earning wages fall a certain percent below the poverty line.  Read about it here: 

http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=2022

It does a great job explaining what food stamp program is all about.  Both huffnnoccupyn and Pres. Obama is right in his explanation.

Facts obviously are not your strong point!!

average, eh? cute little trick you use to ignore the massive upward spike in Bosh’s last year that led us to the current rate. you’re trying to balance out Bush’s failure by averaging the low numbers he inherited from Clinton at the beginning of his term.

Nope, I have a case of the facts!!

How many jobs did the economy lose in the final three months of Bush’s presidency?

I see you’ve registered yet another account to promote that hilariously paranoid blog post.
Still adamant about sharing your mental illness with the world, eh?

Mike,

Please name the bill or bills that the dems passed from 2007 to the summer of 2008 that caused the economy to collapse.

Good one!! I almost thought you were serious.  Facts and Republicans are as far apart as day and night.  Nice Try.   

When Obama’s change in policy regarding missions into Pakistan results in killing Bin Laden, Republicans suddenly want credit Bush for the post-2009 U.S.

says the party that still hasn’t taken responsibility for the mess their hero George W. Boosh left behind.

and what happened at the end of 2008 – hint: Google Wall Street and October

Republiklans claim to be the “party of personal responsibility,” but when the economy collapsed on their watch and because of their deregulation policies, somehow it’s everyone else’s fault.

Republiklan hypocrisy example # 5,894,825,962

You cant compare apples with oranges. Those numbers you posted reflect 8 years for Bush and only 3 for Obama. If you were to average them out then foodstamp usage has gone up around 80% more under Obama then Bush.

Pelosi is already on the record stating that un-employment insurance and food stamps literally “stimulate” the economy. Now Obama is saying, “blame Bush”, therefore conceding they aren’t and that they are actually a very negative indicator. Can you libs please get your idiotic talking points correct and get back to us?

…or, I’ll work a third job so you can get your i-pod, Air Jordans, and I’ll pay for your food stamps! – and contrary to ANOTHER Liberal Canard:

http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/09/26/most-food-stamp-recipients-have-no-earned-income/

Except for this: he’s right!  

(Again, as usual … both.)The current food stamps budget capacity was fixed by Congress during the Bush the elder administration (in the same budget where GHWB broke his “read my lips” pledge).That capacity was never reached during the two Clinton terms in part because the Bush the elder recession ended, & in part because Clinton broke HIS pledge not to raise taxes & instead of a recession we got the dot.com bubble & the Clinton recession didn’t hit until Bush the younger came in. The food stamps capacity WAS reached during the first term of Bush the younger because he not only wouldn’t he raise revenues when he should have, he made it worse – UNBELIEVABLY worse – by bringing in the Bush tax cuts (Anyone remember “Deficits don’t matter”? Cheney? Cheney? Cheney?And the all-time record status set under Bush the younger remains intact. Dubya owns the greatest single administration RATE of food stamps use increase; Dubya owns the greatest rise in the number of individuals resorting to food stamps; and if you take Dubys record, & subtract the numbers he inherited from Clinton, Dubya STILL holds the greatest all time record in this particular category – without even getting near the current unemployment rate!

Dubya – a special sort of talent, an amazing experiment in how bad a president can be without the whole country collapsing entirely under the pressure of trickle down stupid incompetence:

http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2011/09/26/most-food-stamp-recipients-have-no-earned-income/

Most food stamp recipients have no earned income, and receive other direct government payments…see above.

In other words, Republicans and Independents work to support Democrats who don’t.

Wouldn’t that make a nice commercial?

Hey, that’s Newt Alinsky’s favorite book!

For what it’s worth, even Karl Marx said there was no such thing as “political Marxism”. Marx was an academic in economics & history. He was presenting a way of interpreting the direction of flow of human social & economic history. It was a very daring thesis, still highly useful even though mostly wrong. That judgment of history on this thesis would not surprise Marx: as an academic, he was quite aware that most theses get proved wrong. It’s how science works. 

I never heard the one Clinton did it. Clinton signed NAFTA; He signed Graham-Leech-Biley overturning Glass-Steagle,His Sec. of the Treasury Larry Summers gets the credit on supporting Graham-Leech-Biley.Clinton only defined, for all Americans the definition of what IS, is.

Great example: It was Clinton’s fault, because he  & his people failed to warn us how gigantically stupid we would look in the historical perspective if we chose to ignore the warnings of … Clinton & his people.

No but you libtards should not be so quick to call others stupid when your degenerative brain disorder gets in the way of your common sense.

Ill tell you how.. The same way 9/11 was Clinton’s fault and Bush “kept us safe” for 8 years.. GOP panders to the stupid like “LA_screenwriter”

Mooch:Obama did you wet the bed again?
Obama: No Bush did.
Libtard: Bush is a moron
79  percent of the USA : Are these iditot’s for real?

How come you hate him so much, Bugsy?  Is it from your heart or is just somebody pulling your strings?  Either way, that doesn’t sit well for your character.

Obviously, you don’t watch or listen to the President of the U.S. too much.  Back in Jan. 2010 (too far for you to remember probably), on an invitation, Obama went into the lion’s den and met for a question and answer session with the republicon members of the house.  He was doing so good, Fox News cut the telecast.  Considering the the attacks and criticism he has had to endure from both the liberal media and the right… especially from the ongoing malicious attacks by the right wing media… I’d say he as some damn thick skin as evident in the way he handles himself.  You don’t have to like his policies but he shows himself as a true leader.  

“BTW Obama has been in office only 3 years compared to Bush’s 8.”

So? Most of those 8 years were supposed to be booming because of the tax cuts and yet food stamps recipients kept increasing.

Considering that Obama took office in 2009, why would you bring up the year 2008?

Bush inherited a UE rate of 4.1 and took it to 7.8% and spiking. Nice try posting deceptive averages.

and hire children

Between February 2010 and May 2011 — the 15-month period Goolsbee was referring to — the U.S. economy created 2.1 million private-sector jobs. By contrast, following the previous recession, the economy actually lost 60,000 private-sector jobs during the equivalent period, which ran from August 2002 to November 2003. There’s little question that the Obama recovery is stronger than the George W. Bush recovery — in large part because the Bush recovery was so anemic. Not only did the Bush recovery produce job losses during the 15-month period Goolsbee cited, but it also produced job losses over the full 23-month period. Over the first 23 months of the Bush recovery, the economy actually lost 757,000 private-sector jobs and 577,000 total jobs. http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2011/jun/06/austan-goolsbee/austan-goolsbee-says-current-recovery-beats-job-cr/

He also wanted it for a middle class, industrial country like Germany, not a agricultural country with the wealth disparages like Russia or China.

It’s called the residual effect of Bush’s economic policy. It is like the relief picture coming in to clean up the mess the starter created.

Not everyone gets a check from Breitbart to sit around watching the clown show.

You are aware of the thing called the internet where people can check on your BS right?

This is just inane. The administration drafts a budget – which Obama’s has done for each of the years 2009-10 thru to this year – the House deals with that draft budget through it’s  authorization process (permission, denial, replacement, amendment, new items, whatever), & the Senate has an overseer rule. There’s no constitutional or practical need for the Senate to “put forth a budget” – none at all.

There’s no approved budget for the year going into 2013 because Congress & the administration have to come together as to a budget & the two major parties are too far apart, so far apart they might as well be in different galaxies, & the respective positions cannot be reconciled. The Ryan “budget” isn’t really a budget, it’s a screed – it doesn’t even add up on it’s own terms, and even Ryan has admitted it doesn’t work qua budget.  So the absence of a ‘Senate budget’ is not revelatory of anything; you have to dig into the positions of the 5 leadership groups (2 in the House, 2 in the Senate plus the White House) & consider their dynamics before looking at why there’s no agreed upon budget. Bottom line: just because the Congressional GOP acribe to something does not make that a budget – that’s just a fiat. Try to do that in a marriage & that marriage fails. 

Finally – just give it a rest with those stupid Boehner bills. They’re all stunts, none of them do the least bit of good for working people or the economy & they were all drafted for p.r. purposes hoping to embarrass the Dem president & the Dems more generally. Just look at ass-clown of a Speaker & the mess of maniacs & nincompoops he’s unable to herd. Louis Gohmert is no longer the hugely eccentric whack job exception, he’s centrist GOP.

Because it fits his narrative and the teabaggers of the world don’t tire themselves with facts.

Obama being called the “food stamp” President in nothing, we all know he’s not but it is nothing compared to George Bush who is a known War Criminal, who no longer feels safe leaving the country out of fear of being arrested!!

Another Obamabot falling on the knife for the food stamp president.

The milquetoast president has nine more months and he will be toast for good.

Wait! Let me work this out … 40.3 million … minus 28.4 million … leaves, uh, carry the … 11.9 million … okay you’re right. 

But wait! Obama’s stim wasn’t passed until early summer 2009, so it couldn’t have really kicked into until summer 2010, so that’s BETTER for Bush, no? Oh – no it isn’t – I see: nothing Congress & Obama did in the first six months on the economy would do a dang thing to the economy one way or the other until another year went by. So – is that 40.3 million actually ALL due to Bush?

79  percent of the USA : Are these iditot’s for real?

Let me join them and say these republican debates are atrocious.

LIAR

under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that.

And under Obama, the increase so far has been 14.2 million. To be exact, the program has so far grown by 444,574 fewer recipients during Obama’s time in office than during Bush’s.

Am I in Bizarro world????

A few years ago the right was telling everyone that Bush inharited a bad economy, basically inherited 9/11, that the federal respose to Hurricane Katrina was really because of the Governor of LA and the Mayor of NO, that non of the finiancial deregulation he did wasn’t his, he was right to invade Iraq because Clinton supported regime change, and the housing crisis really started under Regan (well the democratic congress)

Now they expect a buck stops here mentality???

I don’t know about the Pelosi quote, you’ll have to link that one. But, the fact is food stamps exist. Bush expanded the program making more people eligible.  ”Blaming Bush” isn’t conceding anything, it’s clarifying. Because of your mindset, you made the connection.

Assistance is an indicator of the economic climate. You can work for a fine, upstanding corporation such as Walmart and be eligible for food stamps. You can enlist in the military and be eligible. There are many scenarios out there and I propose that neither party is responsible individually, they both are.

It’s not shovel ready at all. Go look at the original project plans & approvals. It’s the local & state governments that slowed the process down in the first place, and now everyone, even TCPL the Canadian pipeline, agrees the first route, the one you suggest as “shovel ready” has been completely abandoned for good reasons & they’re working on alternatives. So this is just comedy – the GOP are insisting on approval of a project that everyone involved has already abandoned. Build that ghost town! 

Plus – and this is significant: very little to none of that sludge tar oil was or is headed into the US economy. The idea is to pipe that substandard crap to Houston for further refining & then throw it on the world market. Most likely it’s going to China one way or the other, whether threw west coast Canada or Gulf Coast US. That’s why it’s so comic that you GOPers see it as some sort of energy solution for the US – it’s not going into the US market, it’s going on to the world market, in which US energy buyers are just players alongside the other players. The XL isn’t to benefit American energy users – it’s to convenience some refineries in Houston, which are all owned by multinational corporations. They don’t give a damn for jobs for Americans & that’s not what the project is about – it’s about resource development for global sale, not employing people. The refiners want the sludge shipped to Houston because they can’t get the further refining done in Canada – because it’s already screwing up their air & water so bad. They’re exporting the worst of the pollution from Canada to here. 

under President George W. Bush the number of recipients rose by nearly 14.7 million. Nothing before comes close to that.

And
under Obama, the increase so far has been 14.2 million

The number getting food stamps declined by 43,528 in October. And the economy has improved since then.

That id the most OBLIVIOUS statement I have read today.

MOM, its not my fault!, That excuse is from an immature person.  Enough you have been the president for 3 years Mr. Obama, STOP with the Bush excuses.  First I would like YOU to apologize to the American Taxpayer for the “green jobs” keep going bankrupt and we watch our hard earned money going down the drain!  Then I would like you to aplogize to the many Americans who would have a job on the Canadian pipeline, a job that will cost the American Taxpayer NOTHING!  That will never happen because you, Mr. President, are out of your league, the only job you are qualified for is a community organizer, maybe you can lead the OWS crowd.  They might buy your excuses, the American pubilc won’t!!!!

And prescriptions

tee hee hee

FACTS.

Physicist Lawrence Krauss has a nice piece on this:

 http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2012/01/newt_gingrich_s_moon_colony_and_mars_plan_.html

There’s a few advantages – Helium 3 for example. But it’s still nuts.

What kind of rude awakening? I’ve been around long enough now to see that no matter who is in office, things don’t change that much. The President has limited powers, Congress is where it’s at.

As for the Repub’s forcing Clinton… Sure, welfare went down, the number of children going hungry went up, that’s something I’d feel good about. 

We need to get the corruption out of our programs. Medicaid, medicare, food stamps… they   are rife with corruption and fraud. Why are we afraid to fix the problems? Is it just easier to say, sorry, you’re going to have to go hungry because we’ve screwed up the system and can’t fix it?

or, I’ll work a third job so you can get your i-pod, Air Jordans, and I’ll pay for your food stamps!

Thank you for helping to re-elect YOUR PRESIDENT AND MINE, Barack Obama.

And DECLINING.

Thankyou SPIN Machine, 28million under Bush.
46million under Obama
444,574 Less?
Math comes hard to the Left.

Thank you for these posts, it is like taking a break from reality and that can be very cathartic on occasion.

You are sadly mistaken.  Check my site out or go the the offical gov. site… dumba##.

So why can’t independents be progressive as well?  Your comment is just another ignorant comment from a clueless republican voting against their best interests.

That is the DUMBEST ARGUMENT EVER.

unless we wait for OBAMA to finish 8 years and check his average.

Are you really stupid or just paid to spread crap?

Then Hiliary Clinton is a war criminal for starting the non-war in libya?

When are Americans going to wake up and realize that POLITICIANS are to blame? As long as we keep yelling at each other and becoming more divided, they can sit back, collect their pay and benefits and laugh at us.

Everyone has a different frame of reference and interprets events differently. My experience comes from working with the disadvantaged, the working poor, the homeless, the illegal immigrant, in other words, the human results of our collective idiocy. 

Our problems go back much farther than Bush. We could blame FDR, or Eisenhower, or Reagan, ultimately where we are now is the cumulative result of actions taken throughout our history.

If you have no idea how to do it,maybe you should do some research before you try.What,are you just nailing and ,welding shit together hoping for the best?

Poor analogy.

Conservatives just aren’t that smart.

Just for you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXoNE14U_zM

Which is it OBAMO or OBAMNO?Make up your flipping mind you irrational freak.

WBD, can you hook me up with a link to your data?  Everything I see shows a 45% increase.  Even on the USDA SNAP website.

http://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/34SNAPmonthly.htm

46 million Americans will receive food stamps.  That’s 45% higher than when he took office and almost 15% of all Americans now needing assistance.

Quit drinking them so fast.You appear to be drunk.

MOM, its not my fault!, That excuse is from an immature person.  Enough
you have been the president for 3 years Mr. Obama, STOP with the Bush
excuses.

That is the post of a partisan not wanting to acknowledge reality.
It’s simply a fact that the economy tanked big time under a GOP president. {if you’re into blaming eveything on the president} and millions of people lost thier jobs and needed help. Did Bush expand eligibility? That can be fact checked. I’m betting it’s true. Most people also don’t know or want to acknowledge that Bush signed a bill authorinzing more federal money to allow people who couldn’t afford the down payment to get one of those great mortages, then about two years later authorized the bank bail outs just prior to the crash.

I seems to me that the GOP is complaining that the former president from thier own party left the burning building and now , because the fire isn’t out and the house isn’t rebuilt a few years later, it must all be the fireman’s fault and they should be given the reigns again.
Considering the clowns that are the prime choices for the GOP, I’m a hell of a long way from convinced. I am convinced that you don’t speak for the American public.

can you be sued for false advertising over a screen name?

Clinton did it!!!!

How could I predict this was coming?

Oh,he’ll be toasting alright.LOL

Right. It took a few decades and both parties to get us where we are. Anyone who thinks we can make things all better by simply putting the GOP back in the WH is fooling themsleves.

Yes, and the great economic crisis that caused it to shoot up happened before he took office. The whole idea that everything that happened from Jan 2009 on is Obama’s fault is ridiculous and childish partisan nonsense.

…

President Obama told the truth.  The incompetant Bush who bankrupted this country is to blame period,
sorry bagger Repubs suck

NATO.Learn the difference.

Glad to see truth is coming out in the news media.  Shame MSM let that fat slob Gingrich demean Black people.  More Whites are on Food stamps and Bush is to blame for the increase in food stamps.

And why do you suppose he boosted the benefit amount? Do you know if Bush also did?  Some of us may not think helping people makes him a horrible failure as a president.

I see how that works. Democratic congress,2007 It’s all thier fault not the GOP president.
GOP congress, it’s all the Democratic presidents fault.  Gee that’s slick.

You have a case of choosing select facts that fit your partisan world view and ignoring the ones that don’t. Reality requires all the facts.

Clever? Really? With that screen name you should be able to spell.

Well honey a lot of us tax payers were sick and tired of Bushie using our hard earned money in two stupid Wars, not telling the American People how much it was costing them UNTIL he left office.Gave all the crap to the next guy who took office. It was HARD work.

lolol

very stupid statement, check your numbers, they do not add up

… …

The biggest percentage of people who benefit from food stamps are children and it sounds like you would rather they starve then get the help they need!!

Lots of schools and roads need to be fixed.Buildings brought up to code.Bridges to be fixed.Seems to me we in America have a lot of things shovel ready.

tee hee hee

As will I.

tards is not allowed

: )

most gop’ers can’t spell food stamps!

Oh…………….That makes a lot of sense……….NOT!

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition service
tracks month-to-month figures dating back to January 2001. The numbers
show that the total of food stamp recipients rose to 14.2 million during
President Obama’s administration.
   The highest in history so far is President George W. Bush. The
number of food stamp recipients grew to nearly 14.7 million while he was
in office.

http://www.11alive.com/news/article/223128/40/FACT-CHECK-Gingrichs-food-stamp-claim

Google is pretty cool

You could also find out that there is a reason for the added food stamps
http://www.flickr.com/photos/davecjohnson/6088811219/

do you also agree with this percentage?
brad_leslie
Yeah, Obama had nothing to do with the shape the economy is in.

Now that’s funny.

BTW, average unemployment under Bush was 5.3% Under Obama- 9.2%

Are you implying that the peaceful Obama be charged with war crimes, like Bush? Or that Hiliary Clinton who pushed NATO, the French and Quatar into the battle of Non-war. Someone is guilty, Congress did not declare war. Who’s LOL.

There is one exception to that rule ‘tards is not allowed’

it is permitted only when you add lib+tards.

WOW, what a shock! It’s all Bush’s fault! We’ve never heard that one before.. I’m waiting for Obama to blame the one armed man next!

Has anyone else noticed that everything in the Bush administration’s economic picture really headed south after 2006? Maybe we should check on what the other factors that changed then as well? hmmmm!

Maybe he should use monosyllabic terms to give you a better shot at it! You would prefer to listen to Obama who has never lied, misrepresented himself or anything like that? As someone who has read Alinsky I have no time for those who use his methods. You never know when what is coming out of their mouth is truth or deception. Just for the record the ends do not justify the means, truth is always the truth and a liar cannot be trusted.

WBD, I’m not sure where they got the 14.7 million figure. They claim that it rose by that amount in Bush’s 8 years.  But in 3 years:

“About 44.7 million Americans on average were enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,
known as food stamps, in fiscal 2011, the year that ended Sept. 30.
That’s up from 28.2 million people in fiscal 2008. Benefits paid through
the program more than doubled during the period, to $71.8 billion in
2011 from $34.6 billion in 2008.”

http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2012/01/17/campaign-renews-scrutiny-of-growing-food-stamp-program/

“The number of Americans using the government’s Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program (SNAP) — more commonly referred to as food stamps –
shot to an all-time high of 45.8 million in May, the USDA reported.
That’s up 12% from a year ago, and 34% higher than two years ago.”

http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/04/pf/food_stamps_record_high/

And the on again, off again Democratic senate and the Democratic majority in the House after 2006 were just innocent bystanders. Barney Franks and Chris Dodd never stopped any of the Bush Admin’s requested reviews and reforms to Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac? Maybe they all did it? Just curious how it all came to head after 2006? Just like all the stuff they threw against the wall from 2008 to 2010 to stop the job loss and economic disaster was the fault of the minority Republicans in the House and Senate somehow!

Wow! You got us there! I remember Bush answered every negative attack and every negative question about the economy with “It’s all Clinton’s fault” wait, no He didn’t.

Somebody has to do the job. None of you libs are working. 

 How ’bout if you call someone a peacetard.  Or a lovetard.

 Don’t you work for Media Matters?

“Low IQ & Conservative Beliefs Linked to Prejudice”

http://www.livescience.com/18132-intelligence-social-conservatism-racism.html

Manchild – he has been POTUS for three years….number of people on food stamps now is most….on his watch….but it’s Bush’s fault.
Never in the history of the nation have we had such an embarrassment for POTUS, NEVER.  And Dianne just sits there and bashes her eyelashes.  He is worse than Jimmah.

It’s Bush’s fault – what a joke he is, really.

When I think food stamps, I see fat redneck birthers in a red state. Then when I think some more, I see that they have the same problems as welfare mothers in the inner city. Neither party is doing much to end the cycle of poverty.

You realize this hypocrisy you assert works both ways right. It always does.

Nope!!

Wow, really, a third job in an economy where having one that is decent paying is nearly impossible? So, either youre a liar, which is what i am betting, or well, youre a liar. A person on food stamps cannot afford an ipod…unless its a gift or something. Or are you saying poor people dont deserve gifts? What exactly are you saying, other then that you are a liar?

Well, it is Bush’s fault lol

Im sure he did watch it. But im also sure it would be difficult for him to talk about through his laughter.

Exactly. According to the government’s own USDA website, he’s lying.

http://www.fns.usda.gov/fns/key_data/march-2011.pdf

Sounds like the President is preparing his three envelopes going back to this again.

Say it TIna
SAY IT!!

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
JUST SAY IT!!

Yes he’s lying, but that doesn’tmatter to a democrat!

President food stamps ,race card, class warfare, it’s not my fault!

I have a senior relative who lives on her ss only and this past year asked for help from food stamp program…she was granted all of $16 per month…Wow
When she told me I could not belive it…$16 monthly,hell why bother…she can’t even buy cat food with that only human food…no booze or paper products…Wow,again,she’s riding high…by the way she is white and over 65

I read the list of 30 “jobs bills” that Boehnor claims they passed. Not a one will create jobs, and several look more like they will kill jobs. And about 2 of them look like maybe okay legislation, but I only read the short descriptor,  not the nuts and bolts long version.  Now, tell me why over 100 actual jobs bills got held up in the last congress by senators putting on holds or  killing them by leaving them unvoted on in committee? Explain why this congress has passed so very few bills at all under Boehnor? None of them will create any noticeable change in the jobs numbers, and none of them speak to what the 2010 elections promised- jobs, fixing infrastructure, and making us competitive. If republicans were serious, they would expand and expedite the ACA, which creates jobs and lowers the deficit, they would stop the hemorrhage of jobs in government – know that a job in the economy means a job, and the economy does not care if the job is paid by government or by private entities.  We need to fix our bridges and buildings sooner or later. Good, fiscally responsible folks strike while costs of labor are historically low due to lack of demand while borrowing costs are also near zero percent. By not taking care of infrastructure, they guarantee higher costs when we have actual failures.  Local high school had their gym collapse- they now need a whole new building. Reinforcing an existing bridge, or fixing a roof, is a lot cheaper than having to replace the whole building. But raising taxes one penny on folks not spending their money anyway can’t happen, and we can’t add debt, so our kids are going to die when a bridge collapses, or pay even more in taxes or fees to fix them.

I fact check dems as often as republicans. I find anything to do with numbers seems to favor the dems as far as reality versus wishful thinking is concerned. The loss of government jobs has added a point or two to the unemployment numbers. Just imagine if we hadn’t been railroaded into extending Bush’s tax cuts and we had kept funding government instead of giving it to the Romney’s of the world? I happen to like clean air, water, safe food, and being able to mail a letter for 1/10 the cost of sending it Fed Ex. If I was worth several hundred million, maybe I wouldn’t care- I can employ folks to test my food, live anywhere I want, hire private security, install sprinkler systems in my home, send mail by special courier and it would be pocket change. They don’t care. Listen to the debates and you see how much they really don’t care. At least the dems and Obama give a fairly convincing appearance of caring, as well as actions to back up the words.

Shouldn’t this be labeled as a column?

Doesn’t was BO, Three years and Your the guy ( I almost said Man) behind the big desk, There is a placard that used to sit there, It is Historical ,and it states;

You have been measured, weighed and plumbed, and Have been found wanting.

How many times now is that Newt’s been declared dead? Once when he entered; again when his campaign staff jumped ship; then after his first surge, when he went thru to the end of his, or his first, Not Mittens period, and now again after the Thursday debate. That’s 4 times to date. It’s not a sound bet to think he’s done, especially if his Vegas multibillionaire banker is willing to hang in through the primaries. Once Santorum is gone, you have to figure more of that vote is going to Newt than to Mittens – so the question is whether Newt can pick off enough delegates to make the convention interesting. And meanwhile, the more we learn about Mittens’ Millions, the more unelectable he looks – Friday the New York Times did a feature story on what BFFs Mittens is with Goldman Sachs; that alone makes him look like Captain Morgan to the Wall Street money pirates. Next up: what is he hiding in those earlier returns? My guess: zero tax paid. Then: what’s with those offshore bank accounts? My money’s on the front-for-the-Mormon-church angle. I SOOOO love slow-roll-out scandals.

There was a housing boom during Bush’s years plus the economy grew and yet more people were getting food stamps. 

and credit downgrade

or the food stamp party

but obama is making it worse

Please.  
Republicans in this country allow a bunch of rich bankers & CEOs living in DC and NY to pander to them about their guns and Jesus (never mind, of course, that most of those elected Republicans don’t give a rip about those things in reality).The GOP politicians pander to “middle america” on those issues so they can get away with fleecing them, cutting services and giving themselves tax cuts later.

“Food stamp president”.  Sorry, but I don’t agree. 

Thank God we have such a program.  With so many out of work and out of hope – do we want them to be out of food too.  I don’t.

In the past (on another site) I had said that this president has experienced the “perfect storm” of poor economies here and worldwide, high unemployment, and a multitide of other ills.

Mr. Obama did not cause these ills.  Could he have made them better?  I leave that to those above my pay grade.

But I only know that most do not choose to be in “need”.  And to find oneself at that point is life altering – to say the least.  For some to further their politcal ambitions at the cost of debasing these people – is deplorable to me.

I would rather we look to solving the problems that “forced” our neighbors to depend upon food stamps to eke by.  Isn’t that what this 2012 election is all about?  Finding a leader – rather than a blamer. 

Only president in my memory to spend his entire presidency blaming his predecessor for every one of his failings.  Obama was ill-equipped to be president, having no experience in anything other than running for a political office.       It shows, he knows how to do nothing, so he blames Bush for everything.   it is nonsense and people who fall for this line are stupid.  STUPID

from the bureau of labor statistics the historical national unemployment rate. 
During G. W. Bush’s presidency, the unemployment rates ranged in each year:
in 2001 between 4.2 – 5.7,    in September of this year we were attacked by AlQaeda
in 2002 between 5.7 – 6.0, 
in 2003 between 5.8 – 6.3, 
in 2004 between 5.4 – 5.8, 
in 2005 between 4.9 – 5.4, 
in 2006 between 4.4 – 4.8, 
in 2007 between 4.4 – 5.0, 
in 2008 between 4.9 – 7.3.   this year the mortgage industry meltdown and the financial crisis we have began    
Those were the Bush years.   Not to bad

Now Obama unemployment rates 
in 2009 between 7.8 – 10.1, 
in 2010 between 9.4 – 9.8, 
and 2011 between 8.6 – 9.2. 

WallStreetPit.com corrected Obama: “One major change in food stamp rules—in the direction of more generosity—occurred with the 2009 ‘stimulus’ law, which has …Obama’s signature, not Bush’s. Another major change in food stamp rules—in the direction of more generosity—occurred with the 2008 Farm Bill. We all know that Bush was president in 2008. But what Obama hopes you do not know is that Bush never signed it.” Bush issued a veto, and the Democrat-controlled Congress voted to override that veto. The “courageous” then-Senator Obama abstained on the votes.

As usual, Obama is lying.

Don’t you wish (in your widdle baby heart) that Diane would have called him out on it – so he could attempt to answer honestly?  

oh I know… we are just so stupid and uneducated that we go to the post office and ask for food stamps.  

He hasn’t spent his entire Presidency blaming Bush.  He could have because Bush didn’t do much right.

And yet more were added to food stamps under Bush.

As usual, Republicans are lying.

Diane should have called him boy?

Most of the war planning for Afghanistan, Pakistan (OBL) and Iraq came from Bush too. That didn’t stop Obama from taking ceredit for their results, though.

So, Barry, if food stamps users INCREASED under your watch, take the “credit”, already!

MR OBLIVIOUS.

Making the case for Obama are you?

Bill Maher said it best last night.
Calling Obama the foodstamp president is like calling Bush the flying planes int buildings president.

Republicans blame Obama all the time. They don’t take any responsibility.

the true unemployement rate is 11.5%. but that would only be reported
if a conservative was pres

STUPID?  by that you mean liberals of course

And that is only the U-3 numbers, The U-6 are around 20%

the solving problems saying is getting old.

the only way to solve our problems is to dump the cancer in the white house

Do you have any reading, comprehension, or math skills at all, Your public school education is showing.

And Your is a partisan excuse of Obama’s failure of Leadership as President.

That is the Highest Position of Power in the Land, and on that Desk, The Buck Stop Here, Right in Obama’s lap.

Bush has been gone three years now, And Obama can’t even engender enough leadership to get His Budget Request through a Senate Controlled by Harry Reid and the Democrats.

Obama’s leadership is such a failure that not one Democratic Senator voted for His budge, It went down in Flames 94 to ZIPP—NADA—NOTHING—-0

And Bush lead, Bush turned the economy around, Passed legislation through both houses time and again, delivered National Budget, and Kept the Economy function…….

The Jan. 2007 came, The Democrats were placed in control, and even though they made it clear that any Budgets President Bush forwarded were dead on arrival, President Bush managed to get them done.

The comes 2009, The Democrats control both housed and the Presidency, and what happens? No budget for 2010, and Obama won’t or can’t deliver one…..and Now it has been over 1000 days, and Obama can’t or won’t show the leadership to get a National Budget through the Democrat Controlled Senate………So Again where does that Buck Stop?

On the Presidents Desk, in Obamas lap.

Now that this has been checked we can now say to Obama “You lie”, which is nothing new.

ill equiped?  he was a community organizer for cryin out loud.

hey greta

we don’t care if you agree

Do you have cognitive skills?

could this have anything to do with it?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/davecjohnson/6088811219/

The only thing he doesn’t blame Bush for is the success of the military and the take down of Bin Laden (which the military command and Seal Team Six was also in existence under the Bush Administration) Of course the country was doing pretty well until the Democrats (Obama was there) took control of Congress. Remember when the Democrats screamed because the unemployment rate went over 6% at Bush’s policies????

Well you are proving that you don’t.

Blahhh Blahhh blame Bush! is there anything this president does that he does not blame Bush for or someone else for!  

He has been in office three years now! what a horrible president that he can not stand on his own record!

Barry says” I don’t put people on food stamps”‘ – Barry your failed policies, after a Trillion dollars in failed stimulus plans put people on food stamps.  and may I add , in all 57 states.

 how come media matters is in your ip address? 

You’re sure itching to play your race card aren’t you.  Guess you’ve got no adult response baby cakes.  

Why do you watch obama ?? obama is  a man who blamed everybody but his self    .All you liberal democrats want to keep blaming bush and obama has been in the whitehouse for three years.Did yoiu not remember clinton passed nafta and then the democrats took over congress in 2006.Thats when everything started going bad.You liberals like to blame everyone but yourself. It takes both parties to make a mess and the president . You people talk about others who make mistakes do you remember obamas( We have 57 states?) I don’t know what country he was talking about but it sure wasn’t the USA.If y7our so smart why don’t you run for the office since your so good at running down everyone???

Yes, everyone has noticed that when the democrat congress put the brakes on the Bush “borrow and spend” policy in 2007, everything started to collapse.  He could no longer borrow money from Peter to pay Paul.

There are going to be many seniors, particularly women in your aunt’s situation. Here I thought I had a nest egg that I could depend on to supplement my social securty – only to have it almost wiped out by the stock market crash in Sept-Oct 2008. And I’m white and over 65,  Who would hire old ladies like us?  They only need so many greeters at Walmart! 

You need to face reality.  the Bush downfall began on May 17, 2002 when Bush introduced his “Homeownership Plan” so that people with no down payment or bad credit could own a home – and he said he had Fannie and Freddie lower their lending standards to accommodate his program.  THAT along with all his tax cuts was the beginning of the DOUBLED NATIONAL DEBT and the housing crisis that he left.  All of us are going to suffer for years and it will be YEARS unless the republicans finally decide that the 1% need to pay their fair share too.

He has people who watch the debates and provide the highlights for him no doubt.  He has other things to do, like working with the Seal Team to capture the missionaries in Somalia.

Republicans don’t like to recall how he reached out to them and they did nothing but slap his hand, point their fingers and call him names.  In fact, one time he went down to the Republican caucus to ask for their ideas on the healthcare bill and on the way down, the word came to him that Boehner said they would not be supporting any healthcare bill no matter whose ideas were in it.  So when he got there, he already knew there would be no bi-partisan agreement.

Bill Maher says nothing best! He is a pig!

Oh Danielson Boy, You really believe what you say! You are a sick man.

He is the only president in history to inherit 2 wars, and the worst economy in modern US history… Oh yeah.. i forgot unprecedented obstructionism unlike any president in history. View the circumstances…he is doing well. Let’s make it official… sir you are an idiot. take off the partisan glasses and look at reality.

So, if we use the same liberal logic (as seen nightly on MSNBC).  Newt says “Obama is the food stamp president.”  The libs say that that, because Obama is black, is coded racist speech.

So, now Obama says that most of those on food stamps “came from Bush”; most on food stamps are white, Bush is white, Bush is the “food stamp president,” so are Obama’s words “code” for racist speech?

Does the “formula” for “decoding” racist speech work both ways;  white to black, and black to white?   

Get out your race cards, shuffle the deck, and deal everybody in!

The housing boom was a manufactured bubble. Food costs and everything else were going up, yet wages were stagnant except for the 1%.  Nothing trickled down.  Thus we got a recession.

Do you really play whist?

Yes, he gets terrorists.

Are there no Republicans on foodstamps?

Is she Republican?

And they want  to put Social Security on the Stock Market.

Does this loser have any idea of how tired we are his pathetic attempts at misdirection? It’s always someone’s else’s fault! He’s sitting in the White House, when the hell is he going to start leading this country?! Point is, HE’S NOT, why, because he’s in way over his head.

Obama is a pathetic child – blaming others forhis own mistakes and taking credit for others successes.  He is themost narcissistic egomaniac ever to  hold the office.  A true embarrassment.

It’s Bush’s fault.

He doesn’t like the Circus.

57 states…..Is that all you got……a slip of the lip

When you’re busy saving a nation, you don’t have time to go to the circus.

Some people can’t take responsibility.

Do you feel there is no overlap in administrations?Bush recession equals more food stamps.Getiing rid of Glass Steagal was bypartisan.Allowed wall street banksters to destroy the economy.Living in a corpocracy equals more poverty.Not being paid a living wage equals more foodstamps.Spending a trillion a year on the military industrial complex priceless.Conservatives seem to gag on gnats and swallow elephants.Corporate welfare is a good thing for conservatives,but helping the poor that they helped create,not so good.I say lets pay congress minimum wage only for the days they show up.Look at all the money the taxpayer would save.Of course they too would be looking for a snap card.

The house has sent 30 bad bills to the Senate.  Harry Reid is too smart to bring them up for discussion.  They need to compromise and send something up the Senate can discuss  instead of saying it’s my way or the higway.

Not for three years down the road.

Think obstruction….filibusters,…..bad bills…..Mitch McConnel

That was do to the tea baggers in congress,the obstructionist.It seem as if your memory is as long as your johnson.

Because of Bush’s economic policies.

That’s right.  Bush spent the surplus handed to him by Clinton.

Tee hee hee

Good point.

The scary thing is, Obama believes his own lie’s, which makes him a Psychopath, that’s why the liberals love him so much, he’s one of them.

We would like to build a coal burning power plant,a gasoline refinery,a nuke plant, and nuclear waste facility all in your back yard.Of course you and your family wont live very long,nor will your neighbors,but what the hell,you’ll have a job.

I tend not to pay much attention to claims from pundits that misspell 4-letter words.

Did the Democrat attack/lap poodle (Sawyer), think to ask Obamba;
“why he’s in such big trouble, with the vast Majority of the American people?”
“And why he thinks he deserves 4 more years, after the dismal failure of his first term?”

…but Sawyer was probably to busy, doing what poodles do, when they are in “lap” mode..

He turned the economy around? You mean the one that went from a 31 year record low of 4% in 2000 to a 7.2% in Jan of 2009?

Did you mean the banking crash was not helped by the Bush Administrations hands off policies?

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/20/business/worldbusiness/20iht-prexy.4.16321064.html

Did you mean that Bush did not come in with a surplus and left with over 4 trillion in new debt?

Look I wasn’t defending Obama, what I am saying is people are railing against things they were defending when their party was in office. And also making up facts (like you did) to make the opposite side look bad.

yes fire more adults. That will improve the economy.

I do, and I point that out.

Why aren’t conservatives demanding to have the Glass steagal act of 1933 reinstated?Treat the cause of the problem not the symptoms of a corpocracy.

I’ll bet you spend most of your time looking for typing errors, just like an old schoolmarm.

Obama’s not in “big trouble with the vast majority of the American people” and his first term was in no way a “dismal failure”. Look elsewhere if you want your own fact-free fantasies to get confirmed.

The stimulus plan was not in any way a failure.

Are you trying to claim that Bush created the military and SEAL Team 6?

And no, the country was not doing well at all prior to Democrats taking control of Congress. That’s why Democrats were able to take over. Because Republicans had screwed things up so badly.

Bush’s war planning for Afghanistan and Pakistan was to pay as little attention to it as possible, due to his preoccupation with Iraq. It was Obama’s decision to reverse that insane policy and prioritize the real enemy that led to OBL’s death.

Have you already forgotten about Bush, who spent 8 years blaming Clinton for his failures?

Or Reagan, who spent 8 years blaming Carter for his failures?

You’re the one who’s an embarrassment. Every president for the last 60 years was worse than Obama.

When people make overtly racist comments, they get called on it. That’s not “playing the race card.”

Bush led us right off the side of a cliff. He didn’t turn the economy around, he destroyed it.

It’s an objective fact that unemployment insurance and food stamps stimulate the economy.

The Democrats had control of the pure string, The House and the Senate, where the budgets and spending priorities are set, Remember that?

Jan, 1, 2007 After the Election.

And that the Democrats defended Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac from reform, and allowed the Housing Bubble to burst creating this recession.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had nothing to do with the housing bubble or the recession. That was the Wall Street banks’ doing, with an assist from Republican deregulation efforts over the previous decade. The damage had already been done by the time Democrats took over Congress.

You’re going to confuse bob and his fellow wingnuts with those facts.

Dismal failure is an understatement, I was being kind.
He is a FREAKING disaster, and the incredibly naive and politically retarded, fell for his lies,hatred degenerate ideas, hook line and sinker.

Lol, just ROTFLMAO, Are you really that obtuse?

But then You are a Democrat and a Liberal.

In an effort to sound non-obtuse, do you have links to data that support your facts?

george bush/fox news ruined this country

The election results of the 2006 elections, and the Constitution.

So the democrats defending Franny and Freddie from reform and “allowing” the housing bubble to burst is in the Constitution???  Funny, I must have missed that part.  I have read it over and over, never saw it.

Of course I am being sarcastic.  A simple “No” would have been better though.

So again (not defending Obama, just seeing if your argument holds water) You see nothing wrong with raising the debt to 8.6 trillion (9 if you count the Iraq war, which wasn’t counted) and think that the deregulation post-2006 had nothing to do with the economic down turn? 

http://factcheck.org/2008/10/who-caused-the-economic-crisis/

Also, by your own argument, now that Republicans hold the house, they are really to blame for the 9% unemployment  rate hit in 2011.

So why are you so eager to give your faith to a party that historically does the exact opposite of what you yearn for?

what a brilliant argument.

Have you really looked at the choices?

You’re the one who’s delusional and out of touch with reality. The reality is that you’re the lunatic fringe. Obama will be reelected, because the majority of Americans don’t buy into your nonsense.

One question from Diane that was left on the cutting-room floor: “Are there any knee-pads around? Hurry!”

It was???

2006

1. Unemployment was at 5.8 up from a 4.0 in 2000

2. There were at least 3 terroist attacks in this country.  One was the largest ever, one delt with anthrax, and the other practically shut down the DC area for a month. 

3. The Iraq and Afghanistan Wars were entering their third year.  One yeilded no weapons of mass destruction, the other yielded no Bin Laden (later to be found in another country. One of our friends), and a bloody civil war was now being waged in Iraq.  The public grew tired of a endless war with no spoils.

4. The tragedy (on so many levels) of Katrina happened that year.

5. The new Medicare drug package and No Child Left Behind were passed pre 2006, thus adding to the debt. The debt was now 8 trillion, up from 5 in 2001.

6.  The new social security program crashed and burned.  The one that tied the program to the stock market.  Guess what happened 2 years later?

Which begs the question, if the country was doing all right, why did they vote the democrats in?

Yes. You mean the choices of Obama, the guy who basically designed “Obamacare” and a professional lobbyist who once worked for the companies you think sank the economy? Have you looked at the choices?

I’m just linked to their homepage!!

What can one say, to such blind adoration, but OMG I’ve got a live one!!
…a real live Obamazombie!!

Tell us Cal, don’t ya ever get tired of Obama telling you how, and what to think?

If you are looking for your true love you should absolutely be out and about this year!————-> sugarcupid.C○MIt is a person’als place where you can meet success’ful rich men, classy mature women, rich women looking for marriage, or just meet beautiful friends and singles.

You obviously slept through the 8 years that Mr. Bush was president. Talk about an embarrassment. I suppose you think he should have celebrated the 750,000 jobs lost EVERY MONTH under Mr Bush. 

That all you got ,bro?

C’mon dude,you can do better than that,seriously….try harder.

You are an example of what’s wrong with this country, bob.
There is not a single line of your post without an error.
I feel sorry for your employer.

Yes, another kool aid drunk, so exactly when did Obama take office? And When did President Bush Leave office?
Lets see, was that Jan. 21, 2009? That is three years now isn’t it?
Obama is the POTUS now isn’t He?
The Commander and Chief?
The One who signs the legislation?
The Big Kahuna, The El Jefe, The  big cheese, big enchilada, big fish, big shot, big wheel, Mr. Biggie, bigwig, boss man, head honcho, hotshot, top dog, very important person ………
The Last Man, at the top of the chain of Command and the U.S. Government, That is why He carries the sobriquet of POTUS.
The Buck Stops on Obama desk, He is the Man supposedly in charge, That is what You elected Him to be didn’t you?
So please explain where and how am I wrong?

Me. 

I had SNAP during 2 years of no work, when I was limping from month to month on Unemployment Insurance, selling my belongings, and gifts from friends. I’m working now, but only make $1200/month from that gig. 

I ran out of UI eventually, but the SNAP program is making it possible for me to finish my bankruptcy (had a *perfect* credit rating before things went to hell), pay my bills, stay in my apartment of 5 years, and continue to add clients as they become able to add contractors. 

Ummm… got my iPod four years ago as a gift, never had a pair of Air Jordans and don’t want any… but I will take those SNAP benefits, thanks.

I started working when I was in the single digits, babysitting my little brother and special needs sister. The closest thing to a vacation I’ve ever had was taking time off work to recover from being nearly fatally injured in a car wreck. Wanna make up any more racially tinged class-based personal attacks on other people, hmmmm? 

I believe he’s ultimately saying that he thinks he’s better than  people he’s never met and knows nothing about. 

Was the one armed man president for the 8 years prior to Obama’s election? I hadn’t heard that said fictional character had managed to tank the economy and plunge the nation into two un-winnable wars?

Google search; democrats defend Fanny and Freddie, and Sir back and watch the fun, lies, and race cards being tossed in defense of Fannie and Freddie by Democrats against Republicans who are trying to place controls on the Democrats cash cows Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as Early as 2002.

Those two entities Fanny and Freddie, put more toxic paper in the market than all other lenders combined.

This coming from a conservative? LMAO. You guys are the ones who proudly let talk radio and Fox pundits do your thinking for you.

Quit being a Foxbot.

Fannie and Freddie had jack to do with the housing crisis. Repeating the idiotic talking points won’t change that.

Those pesky facts always get in the way of GOP talking points, don’t they?

Bush had an easy first 3 yrs. He didn’t inherit a mess like what he left to BHO and the country! Amnesia seems to be rampant in the New Republican Tea Party as to what he left us. As a Republican I didn’t want him as POTUS because of what he would do to us. Sadly I was right. History will show Bush to be very destructive to the nation and it will take far more than 3, 4 even 8 yrs to undo his mess of a legacy. Now we have nothing to offer for 2012 but the NRTP sure talks big blaming BHO for everything including bad weather!!

And denying the truth and facts is suicidal.

Yet somehow you’re still alive, despite constantly denying the truth and facts.

And?

What do you mean, “And?” You said that “denying the truth and facts is suicidal.” I pointed out that you’re the one who’s been doing exactly that, yet somehow you’re still alive. So apparently it’s not suicidal after all.

If you won’t even take the time to look up the facts and become knowledgeable of the history, Your not worth the time, Non Sequitur

Blame Bush again!  What a Pathetic Person Obama is!  He reminds me of a spoiled child that blames everyone and everything for his failures.  Obama is not only the Food Stamp President, he is also only an Affirmative Action President, having been handed everything his entire pathetic life, never worked, I doubt he had grades worth spitting on, and his only accomplishment in life is being able to read a Dummy Board well!  WhooptyDo!  Only Pathetic People will vote for the Pathetic Obambi in November!

Only Pathetic People will vote for the Pathetic Obambi in November!

If that were the case, he’d surely be able to count on your vote. Your post proves how pathetic you are.

Oh, waaaaaa waaaaaa.  Good grief, BO can’t even tell himself the truth. He is such a cry baby.  Pray we get a person who looks, talks, acts and thinks like a leader of the Country.

Try posting any information disproving the statement.
Ad hominem attacks on Obambi get old quick. We get it, he’s black.
ps Bush, and his minions were blaming our financial problems on the prior administration well into 2008. Seems it wasn’t the tax cuts, or wars.

I don’t get Fox on Cable , you guys all have Fox on the Brain, it’s like you think we Conservatives take orders from TV like you liberals do.
Conservatives think for themselves unlike you shallow libs who can’t think for yourselves, so you let a bunch of idiots in the democrat controlled media do all your thinking for you.
The problem is the democrat media are all stupid idiots, with gender identity issues, so listening to them is like listening to a psychopath.

The defense rests on your arguments. Don’t quit your day job.

Bob is probably one of those jobs that president obama created and he’s on the white house staff…notice no capitalization? None of these lamebrains deserve it!

not worth a comment. so I won’t; so there!

As yours must be throbbing rather consistently; hmmm?

wow man up. seriously.

you really responded this way?

Blaming bush is still Obama’s number 1 strategy.

That is absolutely a lie.  This no down on homes started with Carter, expanded by Bill Clinton… Im not a Bush fan , but your out of your mind on this one.
