Number of Americans On Food Stamps Jumps To More Than 1 In 7

But whatever you do donâ€™t call Obama the food stamp president because thatâ€™s crazy racist or something.

Quote:

(WSJ) â€” Food-stamp use jumped in the U.S. in December with more than 1 in 7 people receiving benefits, even as a program for disaster assistance related to Hurricane Irene came to an end.

Food stamp rolls increased 5.5% in 2011, the Department of Agriculture reported, though the pace of growth has slowed from the depths of the recession.

The number of recipients in the food stamp program, formally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), rose to 46.5 million, or 15% of the population in December. The numbers receiving benefits were boosted by disaster assistance in the late summer and autumn due to Hurricane Irene, but the those programs were largely ended by December in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania the last states still in need.

Minnesota, Colorado, Hawaii, Alaska, New Jersey, Delaware and Iowa all saw year-over-year jumps in use by over 10%. Just Wyoming, Michigan, North Dakota, Utah and West Virginia posted annual drops in the number of people receiving food stamps.

Mississippi reported the largest share of its population relying on food stamps, more than 21%. One in five residents in New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington DC also were food-stamp recipients.

Why Barack Obama
is the vanity president
Telegraph [UK], by Nile Gardiner

On the world stage, Barack Obama has gone out of his way to apologise for his country, bow before foreign leaders, and do all he can to demonstrate that America is no longer the George W Bush-style "cowboy" aggressively projecting its power across the globe. Indeed, no American president has done more to prostrate his own nation before the world, as we saw most recently with his groveling apology to Afghan president Hamid Karzai. This should not be read though as personal humility on the part of president Obama, but as an integral

Isn't It Ironic?

The food stamp program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is pleased to be distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever.

Meanwhile, the Park Service, also part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals" because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.

Obama â€˜apology tourâ€™ ridiculed
by House Republican on floor
The Hill [Washington, DC], by Adele Hampton

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) used a floor speech Thursday to rattle off a list of apologies he said President Obama has issued since entering office.

Gohmert produced an oversized chart of not only Obama's apologies over the past three years, but also issues and events Gohmert thought more deserving of the president's time.

"I thought, maybe it would be helpful to track exactly what deserves apology and what doesn't," the conservative lawmaker, known for colorful floor rhetoric, said in his speech.

Marker in hand, the Texas representative then went down his list, marking off each event as either worthy of Obama's apology or not.

His first check mark went to what he called Obama's "apology tour" to countries around the world when he first took office. He said Obama apologized for CIA enhanced interrogation methods, for detainees at Guantanamo Bay and for the accidental burning of Qurans at a military base in Afghanistan last month.

He suggested that Obama has not apologized to the families of the soldiers killed in the wake of violence after those burnings. He also accused the president of neglecting to apologize to the family of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, whose death was linked to the failed "Fast and Furious" gun-tracking program.

Gohmert listed two apologies he thought Obama should have made to Israel, including for remarks French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Obama were overheard uttering before an open mic about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a G20 summit in 2011.

Gohmert also accused Obama of apologizing to Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student who testified to House Democrats in favor of Obamaâ€™s contraception mandate in the healthcare law.

Obama apologizes for Afghan slayings, still
ignores Mexican â€˜Fast and Furiousâ€™ murders
Daily Caller, by Matthew Boyle

President Barack Obama has never apologized to Mexican President Felipe Calderon for the 300 civilians murdered with weapons the United States provided to Mexicoâ€™s drug cartels, but on Sunday he found time to place a call to Afghan president Hamid Karzai apologizing for deaths caused by an American soldier this weekend in Afghanistan.

The Daily Caller asked the White House why Obama hasnâ€™t similarly apologized to Calderon for the murders that resulted from the U.S. policy of providing weapons to the Mexican cartels. Obama spokesman Eric Schultz did not answer.

The Obama administrationâ€™s â€œFast and Furiousâ€ program â€” organized by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and overseen by the Department of Justice â€” sent thousands of weapons to Mexican drug cartels via straw purchasers, or people who legally purchase guns in the United States with the intention of illegally trafficking them somewhere else. This tactic is known as â€œgunwalking.â€

At least 300 people in Mexico were killed with weapons provided by Fast and Furious, including U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. The identities of the Mexican victims are unknown. Allegations are now surfacing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jaime Zapata was also murdered with weapons the Obama administration allowed to â€œwalkâ€ into the hands of drug cartel members.

Young Obama Wanted to Be Like
Sukarno, Says Transgender Nanny
Washinton Free Beacon, by Patrick Howley

President Obama harbored a childhood dream to follow in the footsteps of Indonesian â€œLifetime Presidentâ€ Sukarno, according to an interview Sunday with Obamaâ€™s childhood transgender Indonesian nanny. According to France24.com:

A transgender Indonesian man who shot to fame after it emerged he had worked as Barack Obamaâ€™s nanny in the late 1960s wants nothing from â€œlittle Barryâ€ but to meet him again some day.

The transgendered individual, named Turdi, nannied Obama when the future president and his mother and Indonesian stepfather Lolo Soetoro lived in a suburb of Jakarta in the 1960s. Turdi subsequently spent time as a sex worker and now lives in the slums. Obama did not contact Turdi when he visited Jakarta in 2010 and 2011.

Nevertheless, Turdi has fond memories of Obama: â€œOnce he pointed to a picture of (Indonesian) President Sukarno and said â€˜I hope I will grow up to become someone like him.â€™ I am proud that his wish came true.â€

According to Encyclopedia Britannica:

CBO: Health law could cause as
many as 20M to lose coverage
The Hill [Washington, DC], by Julian Pecquet

As many as 20 million Americans could lose their employer-provided coverage because of President Obama's healthcare reform law, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said in a new report Thursday. The figure represents the worst-case scenario, CBO says, and the law could just as well increase the number of people with employer-based coverage by 3 million in 2019. The best estimate, subject to a "tremendous amount of uncertainty," is that about 3 million to 5 million fewer people will obtain coverage through their employer each year from 2019 through 2022.

here's the magic messiah that the left thinks is such an ''intellectual''

This guy is a prime example of why affirmative action doesn't work...his transcripts, real or fake are nonexistent so we have no clue how well he did in his ''studies''. The media was always all over W for errors way smaller than what this idiot puts on displays. But he gets his free pass as usual.

notice how he says ''ROOTHerford instead of the proper pronunciation REAL Americans use.

Just like this idiot said Corps-man

The president flunks history â€” again
Washington Post, by Jennifer Rubin

For a guy touted as an â€œintellectual,â€ President Obama does get a lot of history wrong. In a speech attacking Republicans as â€œflat-earthersâ€ Obama asserted: â€œOne of my predecessors, Rutherford B. Hayes, reportedly said about the telephone, â€˜Itâ€™s a great invention, but who would ever want to use one?â€™ Thatâ€™s why heâ€™s not on Mount Rushmore because heâ€™s looking backwards. Heâ€™s not looking forwards. Heâ€™s explaining why we canâ€™t do something, instead of why we can do something.â€ The Postâ€™s Glenn Kessler easily nails him with four Pinocchios for his slur on Hayes:

Hayes, in fact, was such a technology buff that he installed the first telephone in the White House. A list of telephone subscribers published in the article â€œThe Telephones Comes to Washington,â€ by Richard T. Loomis, shows that the White House was given the number â€œ1.â€ . . .

Note that Hayes first tried the â€œwonderfulâ€ telephone at the end of June, and then had it installed in the White House just four months later. So, rather than â€œnot looking forwards,â€ as Obama put it, Hayes quickly embraced the new technology. . . .

Brutal week for Obama,
the worst of his presidency
Washington Times, by Charles Hurt

The past seven brutal days will go down as one of the worst weeks in history for a sitting president. It certainly has been, without any doubt, the worst week yet for President Obama.

Somehow, Mr. Obama managed to embarrass himself abroad, humiliate himself here at home, see his credentials for being elected so severely undermined that it raises startling questions about whether he should have been elected in the first place â€” let alone be re-elected later this year.

Consider:

â€¢ Last Friday, Mr. Obama wandered into the killing of Trayvon Martin. Aided by his ignorance of the situation, knee-jerk prejudices and tendency toward racial profiling, Mr. Obama played a heavy hand in elevating a tragic situation in which a teenager was killed into a full-blown hot race fight.

Americans, he admonished, need to do some â€œsoul-searching.â€ And then, utterly inexplicably, he veered off into this bizarre tangent about how he and the poor dead kid look so much alike they could be father and son. It was election-year race-pandering gone horribly wrong.

â€¢ By the start of this week, Mr. Obama had fled town and was racing to the other side of the planet just as the Supreme Court was taking up the potentially-embarrassing matter of Obamacare. While in South Korea he was caught on a hidden mic negotiating with the president of our longest-standing rival on how to sell America and her allies down the river once he gets past the next election.

â€¢ Meanwhile, back at home, the Supreme Court took up the single most important achievement of Mr. Obamaâ€™s presidency and, boy, was it embarrassing. The great constitutional law professor, it turns out, may not quite be the wizard he told us he was.

Obama Budget: 1,070
Days and Nothing;
White House Blames Republicans
Yahoo! News, by Patricia Campion

Apparently, Carney isn't aware of the president's job description.

According to the government's own website, "the Budget and Accounting Act requires the President to submit a budget by the first Monday in February." Then Congress deliberates and votes on whether or not to accept and pass his proposal.

"You know," Carney added, "that the only way in modern day Washington to achieve a significant budget compromise is when both parties are willing to work together."

The thing is, both parties did "work together." Obama's $3.6 trillion budget proposal -- with nearly $1.5 trillion in deficit spending and no serious attempts to cut spending -- was soundly defeated in the House by a vote of 414-0. How much more evidence of "working together" do you need than total unanimity?

Simply put, it is Obama's responsibility as president to assume a position of "leadership" by "presenting a budget" that will encourage both parties to "work together." It's not the duty of Congress to simply "come together" and approve Obama's budget just because he is president.

It has been 1,070 plus days and counting.

Were it not so serious it would be funny.
