Winning!

Yes, Obama has managed to increase the number of US residents using food stamps to an all time high of 15% of the US population. Let's hear a big round of applause for the foodstamp POTUS from all his supporters!

Please explain how Obama caused a hurricane.
A hurricane put 3.4M new people on food stamps?

Food stamps...the ultimate in extreme couponing. The rest of us have to suffer paying highly inflated food prices.

You silly girl, Obama did not put these people in that position, and while we are on the subject if it were up to many righties here and running for the Whitehouse, they won't even get that little bit of help.

Actually Obama DID put those people in that position. He's been in charge for 3 years, and could have turned our economy around, as he so loudly promised to do during his campaign. Instead, he continued EVERY SINGLE ONE of Bush's failed policies. Garbage in, Garbage out. Wars and no jobs = lousy economy.

As for lauding him for the liberal policies that give away taxpayer's money in a thousand different ways, what have we accomplished? Do we have less poverty now than when the "War on Poverty" started in the 1960s? Does the patchwork of programs give ANY American the least bit of security that if he loses his job, he'll be taken care of? No. Our patchwork is very good at disqualifying anyone who tries to take care of themselves. If you are an irresponsible teenager and start breeding babies with no spouse to support, you, our government can't give you money fast enough. If you try and take care of yourself but get hit by horrendous luck, tough.

Do your homework instead of deflecting the topic and thread, ok?
Ok, maybe I didn't make myself clear: the article doesn't provide any proof for your claim that Obama has done this. So since you haven't provided anything, and the article hasn't provided anything, I'm asking someone for some proof.

This is how these things work: you make a claim, you provide proof.

Many folks don't realize that JP Morgan makes $$ every time a foodstamp card is swiped at the checkout register. Obama's current Chief of staff Daley is a former VP at JP Morgan. Increasing the enrollment of those on foodstamps make the big banks $$. So did Obama's war in Libya.
I did know that JP Morgan issues all Access cards which is pretty suspect now that you mention it. And definitely agree with you on Ron Paul-he seems to be the only honest politician left.

I do not know if JP Morgan issues all Access cards, they do administer a significant portion of the program.

Here you are, even from a far lefty website.
