46 MILLION Americans on food stamps!

Lets see CNN turn this into a good thing.

* * * * * BREAKING NEWS * * * * *

CNN has now confirmed, Obama is the second son of Christ, and is feeding millions of Americans by turning jobs into food stamps!

Good move...send me an e-mail telling me it's ready...but it's not. Did the USPS take over YouTube?

Jodi Miller for President... oh wait, That would be a cut in pay....

HAHAHAHAHA these videos are... not really funny at all? Jokes are forced and few, kinda like a terrible "Daily Show"? It seems like every punchline is "Obama did it." You guys can come up with some more creative ideas... And the host keeps moving her body around in a really awkward way. You need some help guys. Maybe talk to Colbert?

NEWSFLASH #OMG

Washington, DC -- Obama today announced his plan to CHANGE our national symbol from a Bald Eagle to a latex condom, declaring the latter a more accurate depiction of the values powering his promised "fundamental transformation" of our nation.

His teleprompter read: "A condom allows for inflation, kills productivity, eliminates any carbon footprint of a next generation, protects a bunch of dicks, and gives people a sense of security while they're actually being screwed."

Hey liberals, feel free to suck my TEA BAG.

Liberals, learn to take a joke!

@Shargrailar And yet, people fail to realize that the # of those on food stamps has risen as a direct result of jobs disappearing. I don't hear anyone complaining about those manufacturing/blue collar/menial jobs going away. Yes, those jobs were good for more than just making fun of those who held them.

[Shargrailar]

Simple math people.

The poor drain resources instead of surviving on their own like every other person.

The rich spend tens of thousands more in taxes than any average citizen on top of providing jobs which no poor person can do.

So what is the question?

Because most of us have the willpower and survival instincts to endure and thrive in life we should pick up the slack of those who lack?

Anyone advocating helping the poor keep your hands out of my pockets and open your wallet and shut up.

@spikebus Where's the money? The government monster took their share, that's where the money is. More government equates to more waste, no matter how you cut it.
