Bush CREATED the problem.

Obama is CLEANING UP Bush's mess!

There's a reason firefighters don't use gasoline to put out fires.

Is this better? Does it matter who reports the story? Do you think he made it up?
It is somewhat better. But I still refuse to take anyone seriously who uses Brietbart as an information source. That kind of person is not to be trusted.

Your link is better. However, those homeless cities began in 2008 as a result of the conservative policies that have been in place starting with Clinton. So the premise of this thread is just laughable.

Just another line from democrats that arent true

There you go again with your socialist ideas that the government is supposed to take care of everyone. Problem is you are being hypocritical since you complain when the government wants to take care of Americans and you whine when they do not, unfortunately you either cannot understand that simple fact or you ignore it so you can complain about the President once again.

The NeoTards are incapable of distinguishing between a group of dividing cells and a human being, that severe lack of perception is what creates so many problems here.

So, why didn't the person who made the sign, instead of making the sign, donate something of equal or lesser value to the tent city folks?
sounds like a bit of hypocracy to me.

I'll be purchasing canned goods and boxed instant meals for the needy in my city, why couldn't that man have done that instead of going the length to try to smear President Obama with a stupid sign? BTW, this homeless and needy thing didn't just happen on his watch, there have been homeless and needy for centuries. And there will be in centuries to come.

Of course that doesn't include giving away someone else's money.
A. Look at your link sources; dubious.
B. When you make donations who asks for political affiliation? Seriously.
Where do they get these numbers from?
