More people have been put on food stamps by Obama than any President in history

Just said by Newtie in the clown debate.

If true, then I say, good for Obama!! People need to eat, and should not be denied food because they can't afford it.

I've worked at Wal-mart since 2005. I've noticed more people have been using food stamps since Obama became President. Most of these people are elderly people, likely people on Social Security who under Dumbya had to choose between buying food and buying medicine.

Why do Repukes think feeding the poor is a bad thing?

has been going through. This pack is a bunch of F'en fools. The republicans want most of this country to die. How poor republicans can vote for these fools is beyond me. And many republicans are damn poor.

if Food Stamps were not distributed the last four years. They make a lot of money to sustain operations, and to pay employees. Which is why a lot of their sales are driven to be their best the first two weeks of the month and the tail end for the procrastinators.

American kids were given an education, and this is what they hear without pointing out the hypocrisy?
