I'm probably as conservative as anyone here...but that is some wishful thinking. It's tough to eliminate the waste w/out hurting people that actually need it. I'd like to get rid of it...but honestly...I have no idea how we do it. We can start small, but it's going to be tough to do.

Obama is not trying to end welfare. He is just redistributing the wealth and handing cash over to voting blocks of non-producer parasites.
End it all, period. Stop robbing Peter (producer taxpayer) to pay Paul (parasitic non-producer) to sucure political power.

Obam is making no effort to stop welfare. Stop being untruthful. He is expanding it at ever opportunity. Redistribution of wealth from producers in society to non-producers. End all welfare, government,corporate and individual. Period. Then I'll be convinced Obama is ending welfare.
The game of robbing Peter (producer taxpayer) to pay Paul (non-prodcer parasite) in order to buy votes and maintain political power is destroying this constitutional republic. It is not a hate rant against the poor. It is a rant against a corrupt government that uses taxpayer money for the benefit of politicians and political pay-backs.
The campaign reform bill is a sham that treats financial political donors differently depending upon which side of the aisle the lobbiest group historically vote.
Please explain the welfare rules pertaining to anchor babies and the 2 year requirement to get a job ? Or the 5 year max ?
By anchor babies, are you referring to our fellow U.S. citizens? You know the millions of children born to immigrants, legal or illegal who have populated this country ever since the passage of the 14th Amendment, those citizens?
Now I have absolutely no objections to amending the 14th Amendment to require at least one parent to be a legal resident, preferably a permanent legal resident but that is neither here nor there.
On to welfare rules.
Every state has its own welfare provisions which can be supplemental to those of the federal governent, so, I won't try to review the provisions for all 50 states. However, with regards to the federal government, welfare, otherwise known as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families as you point out has a 2 year job requirement and has 5 year life time eligibility maximum. By 5 year maximum I mean that if you receive 3 years of benefits from let's say 2000 to 2003 you can only receive an additional 2 years at any point in your life time. This in a effect completely destroys the canard that welfare produces "generations" of welfare recipients.
As for the 2 year employment requirement:
TANF recipients are expected to participate in work activities while receiving benefits. After twenty-four months of assistance, states must require recipients to work at least part-time in order to continue to receive cash benefits. States are permitted to exempt certain groups from the work-activity requirements, including parents of very young children (up to one year) and disabled adults. The TANF law defines the "work activities" that count when determining a state's work participation rate. Table 9.4 lists the work-activity requirements by state for single parents who are at least twenty years old and nonparental caretakers.
To be counted as a work participant, a TANF recipient was required to work at least twenty hours a week in 1997 and 1998. This requirement rose to twenty-five hours in 1999 and thirty in 2000, unless the recipient has a child under six. In the first two years, the twenty required hours were to be spent in one or more of these nine high-priority activities:
