Sad, very sad. Everyone that voted for Obama and the democrats need a bullet right between the eyes. These people have betrayed the principles this country stands for.

Go to Social Services on a Monday morning and look at the lines and company there. You will be disgusted.

And with Obama advertising the program in Mexico it's only going to get worse. Any President that promotes the citizens not to work and to live off the backs of us that do is a socialist.

Why go to Social Services when you can go to Walmart and see the same thing? 25% of Walmart's sales are food stamps. Each Walmart store get another $400,000 in welfare benefits for their employees due to their BS insurance and low wages. Look it up.

Every dime of welfare ends up in a millionaire's pocket whether it's foodstamps, medicaid, Section 8, or WIC. - David Hearne

Forced charity.
The Government is strongarming peoples money away from them only to dish it out to the masses of imbeciles.

This fraud of a president SHOULD have resigned in embarrassment, with 4 YEARS of 8+% of unemployment and his own "jobs czar" approving the movement of 60,000 jobs to China. I hope, when his supporters start forking over most of their paycheck and their children can't find work, they remember their undying love for the biggest dumb ass to have EVER held the presidency. If YOU ran your business or your life the way obama runs the country, YOU would be in jail, fired, or living on the street. Keep cheering. I'm guessing that 51% of the people still think one can add 2 + 2 and come up with 15 trillion. Or that there is hope in hell that we could ever even DREAM of paying back all the money he has borrowed. The gravy train MUST come to an end sooner or later, but his supporters, being unable to add or subtract, don't have a clue about THAT.

Angry. Angry that this great country that so many people have sacrificed everything for is going the way of Europe. Angry that we have a president who, more than anything else, promotes dependency, handouts, and freebies and acts like we don't have to pay it back. I work for a living and pay my bills. I EXPECT our leaders to do the same. I want my kids to have opportunity and not just the opportunity to work so that the government can take it from them and give it to people (like you?) who have never served in the military, or sacrificed ANYTHING, have wanted for nothing, and wouldn't know who Thomas Jefferson was if they were handed his biography. Tell me --- do YOU think we can pay off $20 TRILLION dollars? I get angry when someone tries to blow smoke up my ace, or acts like I can't add 2+2.
