Obama Responds To Newt’s “Food Stamp President” Comments: Bush’s Fault…
Nothing is ever his fault. Nothing.
Via ABC News:
Obama pushed back against what he called Republicans’ “rhetorical flourishes,” including Newt Gingrich’s oft-repeated contention that Obama is the “food stamp president.”
“First of all, I don’t put people on food stamps,” Obama said. “People become eligible for food stamps. Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my Republican predecessor, not under me. No. 3, when you have a disastrous economic crash that results in 8 million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from government.”

So . . . when is anything his fault?
Does this guy even know that when Pres. Bush took office he had to deal with a recession, and in 7.5 months he had to deal with the worse attack on US soil and attempt to destroy of our financial system. And we were doing well until the Dems took control of Congress in 2006.
Like your typical liberal Obama prefers to find a scapegoat
Just no words….
Putz – again…..
I was going to take a drink everytime I heard odumbo blame GW Bush. But I figured I`d either end up an alcoholic or in the morgue from liver failure.
Worst.President.Ever. And I lived through the Carter years.
Just like a damn child. Not my fault, life’s not fair….wah.
@ Bee1
Did you make the peanut brittle from the recipe I posted in the debate thread the other night
I don’t think a bitch-slap from God would get this arrogant
bastard’s attention. He is SO full of himself that his irrational,
self-protective, smarmy statements show he has no sense
of dignity. It’s understandable, tho, since the Press has
coddled this brat throughout his political life…..as has every
“gimmee” voter in the country. OUR problem is that the
“gimmees” are becoming the voting majority.
Just like a 4 year old

With apologies to Shaggy:
record number of people on food stamps
(it wasn’t me)
record debt of the federal gubmint
(it wasn’t me)
lowest housing sales of all time
(it wasn’t me)

(it wasn’t me)
barry the blameless

Oh wow I didn`t see your recipe. I`m of to hunt it down now. Thanks so much!!!!
@Chicken_Shitte
Hooray I found it. Am saving it…thanks very much – can`t wait to try it.
It is Obama’s fault.
“No. 3, when you have a disastrous economic crash that results in 8 million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from government…”
And there you have it – more people needing support from the government, which was the stuttering dunce’s aim all along. He neatly sidesteps whose policies were responsible for said economic crash- funny, that.
Millions more people dependent on the government to feed themselves- that’s winning the future, the soetero way!
Guess the buck stop with someone else and not him or his failed policies….
Yes, the DIMs created this recession under Bush when they won the House and Senate in 06 and it has been down hill ever since.
He;s an ideologue who is clueless in a real world where nothing is a zero sum gain… But he knows how to line his own pocket…he will be the top 1% when his 1 term is over….
This country needs a president, not this self-involved Ken doll.
Why do I read anything that comes out of this idiots mouth anymore? I’m still waiting to wake up from this nightmare and say, “whew, I knew this shit couldn’t have really happened”.
He can’t just let it go, always on the defensive, whining shifting and blame. Keep hammering, the disgraceful jerk is made of glass.
Such a whiney baby. In his attempt to be The Teflon Don (even Gotti was caught eventually), he’s got more things sticking to him than one of those supersize Acme horseshoe magnets that Wile E. Coyote used to use to try and catch the Roadrunner. Get out of the way for a NEW president, you a$$hole! Beep! Beep!
When’s the Oblahblah comic book coming out?
That’s not going to win him the election.
The people are fed up with his whining and blaming Bush.
No one believes it anymore.
Michael Moore has food stamped all over his hulk.
“Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my Republican predecessor, not under me.”
“Second of all”? What a great speaker he is.
Is he too stupid to understand the difference between people being ELIGIBLE for food stamps and actually USING them?
So President Obama WANTS people on food stamps? So he can control people?
Being on food stamps is soooo fantastic, too!
We are slowly coming out of a deep recession. We play the blame game all day. It solves nothing. What solves problems like this are real solutions.
Smart people, who arent beholden to rich libtards or corporations, like Paul Krugman, advocate increased spending in times of recession, spending by the government, to help the public and private sectors through a time where capital has dried up. This is not an attempt to increase the size of government. No. This is temporary loosening of federal spending in order to help regular folk get through hard times.
The gop economic plans during recession are exactly opposite. gopers want to restrict spending in tough times, thereby willfully inflicting unnecessary pain on the population for purely political reasons. Austerity is not what is need here or in Eurpoe. We need lots of spending now.
And when economies and markets are booming, THATS when to cut back. Unfortunately, we do the opposite of what is right.
Why do people here hate their fellow Americans so much? Why inflict so much pain on others? Is it some biblical need for suffering?
And people are fed up with Obama? You need to get out more.
The economy is slowly turning up, the Pres approvals are turning up, and frankly, the gop field of presidential candidates looks like a cross between a goat rodeo and a clown car parade. President Obamas chances of reelection are quite high, given the terrible gop candidates and due to the gop base having become red meat, bat sheet crazy hate filled lunatics. You see, folks here, with their incessent insulting, racists tinged rhetoric, combined with you parties complete abdication of their jobs as elected officials, helps President Obama’s reelection chances greatly.
So by all means, continue with the insults.
C’mon! You know you want to do it! Call him the N word. Be a man. Go ahead. Do it!
You all can DIAF

This is a link to the number of food stamp users since Nixon’s administration in very easy to see charts. In Obama’s 3 years they’ve added more people to the food stamp rolls than any other president. Newt is absolutely correct.

Dear shockedattheracismhere:
1. I have no desire to “be a man.”
2. Provide solid evidence to support your claim that “the economy is turning up,” because, as a business owner, I’m just not seeing it.
3. Where is “Eurpoe?”
4. I read every post and failed to see any “racists tinged rhetoric.” Please clarify.
5. Thanks for the cheery “You can all Die In A Fire,” but I think I’ll pass.
Open up drilling. Overturn Obamacare andDood-frank and this country will get going again. And because of this the American public may be stupid enough to re-elect you, homes….
Hey shocked—-I only use the N word for people who deserve it like you…..Osama isn’t even very black, it’s just that his skin is so thin you can actually see how full of shit he is…..go smoke that, Monkeyass.
According to a report in the Daily Rash this morning, Obama is resigning so he can focus on the 2012 election! http://www.thedailyrash.com/obama-resigns-will-focus-on-2012-election
and the credit downgrade (a first ) late last year was Bush’s fault too.
and the Tea Parties.
Leave Obama alone!
Obama’s right. He didn’t put people on Food Stamps—they become ‘eligible’ for Food Stamps. Believe it or not, words mean something. You should pay more attention to the use of words.

AS SOON AS HE LEAVES US ALONE!
@shockedattheracismhere-
First, yawn. I’m shocked at the stupid name you chose for trolling. You need to up your game, you and the other stooges have worn the race card right out. So get a new name, your current moniker is boooooring.
Next:
“We are slowly coming out of a deep recession.”
Bzzzzt. Not coming out. Also, deep recession caused by the democrats.
“We play the blame game all day. It solves nothing. What solves problems like this are real solutions.”
Bzzzt. Correction- your gangly failure president and your legion of whiners on the left play the blame game. Tell Earflaps and the rest of the idiots to come up with some solutions- here’s a start: how about passing a budget for the first time in the obama administration?
“Smart people, who arent beholden to rich libtards or corporations, like Paul Krugman…”
And here you invalidate anything you can possibly say. Krugman is a fool, clinging to long discredited bonehead keynesian theory. Do tell, where has keynesian theory been a success in any country, at any time in history? He’s also a big fan of chinese authoritarianism, further invalidating anything coming out of his moronic piehole.
“…advocate increased spending in times of recession, spending by the government, to help the public and private sectors through a time where capital has dried up.”
Again- keynesian policy is a time and time again failure. Second- capital has not dried up, due to QE1, 2, and soon to be 3. The problem is a complete lack of will to invest by ANYONE due to the boneheaded and oppressive, arbitrary, and byzantine regulations being passed or “executive ordered” into existence by the truckload in this soon to be facist regime.
“The gop economic plans during recession are exactly opposite. gopers want to restrict spending in tough times, thereby willfully inflicting unnecessary pain on the population for purely political reasons. ”
Bzzzzt. Nice try at framing the argument, pinhead. Gop plans are to actually have a federal budget (again, the soetero crew has failed to provide one his entire time in office) and then prune back moronic regulations like classifying milk as oil- as obama’s epa did- so as to encourage PRIVATE investment. As for inflicting unnecessary pain on the population- who’s the babbling idiot that said “under my plan, energy prices would necessarily skyrocket” again?
“Austerity is not what is need here or in Eurpoe. We need lots of spending now.”
The bankrupt government of Greece was unavailable for comment here, nor were the soon to be bankrupt governments of Spain, Italy, and Portugal. You’re beating a dead and discredited horse here, sparky- keynesianism is a certified, time and again FAIL. We tried it under stutters the clown, and all it resulted in was payoffs to union cronies and a confession by the wizard of uhs that “there is no such thing as shovel ready projects”.
Austerity by the government is EXACTLY what is needed- that and a sharp reduction in all the regulations as well as an executive branch that actually follows the law. At which point a gasping private sector can actually get up off the floor and cause an economic recovery.
“Why do people here hate their fellow Americans so much?”
Ask the democrats, who have caused all the divisive hate.
“Why inflict so much pain on others?”
Again, ask the democrats that have caused so much pain.
“Is it some biblical need for suffering?”
Ha. You are a bunch of Godless heathens- what do you and your ilk know of the bible?
Go ‘way, troll.
And tell axelrod he needs to hire better.
NOTUS! Narcissist of the United States!
Narcissism: An exceptional interest in and admiration for yourself.
When you take up the mantle of leadership, whether as a private employee or as an elected or appointed political figure, all the responsibility falls on you because you now occupy the position.
You become responsible for things you didn’t cause. Obama didn’t inherit the office, he actively campaigned for it, and rejoiced in winning the office ['I won']
Constantly blaming your predecessor is a sign of poor leadership and extreme immaturity; but then this is Obama we’re talking about.
@GrassMudHorsey
the rascism butthole is certainly not worth your time and effort — but i love you for doing it !!!
OH SNAP
When folk have to come beg O’Bammy for handouts it allows him to tell himself he is somebody special, a position he otherwise has no argument for. And of course those who have been raised in the generation after generation pity parties have no pride to do anything else. Like ImNoDhimi indicates there is a difference between qualifying and applying. Poor Shocked has swallowed the poor pitiful victim position hook, line, and sinker.
Bottom line: we are all going to die and Obama nor the GOPers can do anything about it. When we are done there is only One to whom we will give an account. We can tell ourselves He doesn’t exist but it does not make what we tell ourselves the truth.
We will all be held accountable when we are done, even Obama, and there is only One that can grant us mercy: the One that we murdered by our sin, Jesus.
@Linky Drake
Like Stretch liked to say, ‘elections have consequences.’
He doesn’t put people ON foodstamps but if anyone manages to get OFF, that is to his credit. Oh, and it was Bush’s fault. What a punk. What a fraud. What a brat.
There’s an old saying that goes something like this “A man can fail many times, but he becomes a failure when he starts to blame others”. Obama has been blaming others since his first day in office. Isn’t it time we get rid of this failure?
I blame Andew Jackson. ..for inventing the free beer party.
On the contrary, he is responsible for his arrogance, his truthlessness, his vile and reprehensible treatment of middle class “white” Americans, and his legally questionable “view” of the Constitution.
He’s also reponsible for the atmosphere of “class vs class” he promotes daily with his sharp tongue.
And last but not least, he is totally responsible for acting like a school age bully and “scolding” those who disagree.
May we never have another person of his dynamic to be POTUS.
@GrassMudHorsey
great digest. I think it actually helps to take inventory of what is at stake and sometimes it takes this sort of jackwagon to remind us that people acually labor under those illusions.
..sweet
And check out this post over at Gateway Pundit after a story about Obongo’s Chrysler up for sale for $1 mil at Ebay. Seems “shockedattheracismhere” has been making the rounds, only under different monikers.
