I never said he didnt say it, I said the person I was responding to had never read it or heard it.
I guess, it is my fault for not being more clear, so let me not make that mistake again as you posting a 10 second link only furthers my point.
Neither you or the person I was responding to has ever read or heard that comment within its context, And in not doing so, you have tried your best to make that comment mean what ever you wanted it to, its the same with the " You didnt build that", " what difference does it make", and " cling to their guns" comments.
Every single one of those comments,within their context mean something completely different than what conservatives pretend they mean.
This is what President Obama actually said in context.
Quote:
Now, Mizzou, I just have two words for you tonight: five days. Five days. After decades of broken politics in Washington, and eight years of failed policies from George W. Bush, and 21 months of a campaign that's taken us from the rocky coast of Maine to the sunshine of California, we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
"In five days, you can turn the page on policies that put greed and irresponsibility on Wall Street before the hard work and sacrifice of folks on Main Street. In five days, you can choose policies that invest in our middle class, and create new jobs, and grow this economy, so that everyone has a chance to succeed, not just the CEO, but the secretary and janitor, not just the factory owner, but the men and women on the factory floor."

Point well taken my apologies for insinuating you thought Obama never said it. I have heard the context of that speech and always considered it empty rhetoric for the dumb down masses. I posted the vid because it was the first one that popped up.
Stop and think about this for a minute. There are "925 Yankee Stadiums" in America, filled to the max with people waiting to be given food and that American's are paying to feed every single month.
Is that not disgusting?
If these 46M people were in stadiums lined up in a row, instead of scattered across neighborhoods all across America, would that not be a stark reminder of the handout being bestowed at taxpayer expense?
Out of sight out of mind....just like liberals want it to be. But if it were out there in plain sight for all to see, liberals would run far, far away from that imagery.

Representing about 2.1% of our government expenditures. Seriously thats how much food stamps cost us.

It would be a stark reminder of the amount of hunger there is in this, the richest nation on earth. It should make us all ashamed that so many people in this country, more than 17 million of them children, go to bed hungry every night in the United States.
There are those who definitely are closing their eyes to this tragedy in the U.S., but it's not the liberals.

And feeding people is disgusting to you? Nice!
Yes, it is, considering the amount of fraud, waste, and abuse that is involved. Cradle to grave is not a system I can support without adequate checks and balances. You shouldn't either.

It is a tragedy, but food stamps aren't the answer.
