"In 2012, the Romney campaign and the Republican National Committee were fond of noting that “Since President Obama took office, the number of Americans receiving food stamps has increased from 31.9 million to 46.7 million, a record 46 percent increase.” But how many remember the May 21, 2008 vote by 100 House Republicans to override then-President George W. Bush’s veto of the 2008 Farm Bill? You know, the legislation that dramatically expanded the eligibility of the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program — i.e. food stamps?"

Who were these House Republicans that helped put an additional 15 million on food stamps? They are in italics.

I'm really sick of all of them. It's like shoveling s**t against the tide.

Obstructionism is obstructionism. It is all about obstructing the other party from doing anything productive. The issue will be the same 10 years ago with different parties supporting it.

If Romney won and wanted to implicate Romneycare Democrats would tear it apart.

The only time I saw Congress and the Executive branch vaguely work together was in the 90s.
Newt and Willy.

Barack Obama is still the Food Stamp President. He has openly declared that he's proud of that moniker through the actions of his Administration to actually advertise food stamps on the radio, TV, and in print.
