Obama's policies have put more people on welfare than any president before him
so this placement is most appropriate.
Unlike the Nobel Peace Prize, for which he did nothing, this is an
"honor" he richly deserves.

"Obama's policies have put more people on welfare than any president
before him"
How convenient it is that everyone likes to forget that the economy tanked under
Bush's term. This title goes squarely to Bush.

Obama tanked the economy.
When it looked like the socialist "Might" win the election,everyone
pulled their money out of sight.
Businesses stopped hiring or investing until they could see how stupid he would
be.
Nothing will get noticeably better until he is gone.

O man, the truth is far from what you portray it to be. The lions share of
blame for the economic meltdown of our economy lays in the hands of Jimmy
Carter(D) and Bill Clinton(D). Carter initiated programs which foisted bad
lending procedures on the fiduciary institutions and then Clinton took them
multiple steps further by making denial of loans, and not JUST loans, but
SUBPRIME LOANS to unworthy borrowers a crime, which BTW had several cases
prosecuted by Barack Obama, setting a national example to other lenders that if
they too failed to make similar bad loans to unqualified borrowers, they'd be
similarly prosecuted.
This then led to parceling of junk bond loan packages that were then sold
offshore which led in no small part to the global financial collapse.
BTW, while GWB was in office, at several points within his presidency there were
Congressional mentions of the pending collapse and the havoc it would reap if
these type loans/lending policies weren't curtailed as the Repubs tried in vain
to get this issue before Congress for consideration.
However, the then Democratically controlled congress pulled their usual fear
mongering BS in stating "The Repubs only care about the fat cats and are
hell bent in keeping all Americans from the American dream of home
ownership!" and belittled the warnings as attacks on the American middle
class, quite successfully, I might add. Then the whole thing was quickly swept
under the congressional rug after the congress REFUSED to even hold hearings on
the matter ..... and was DAMNED SURE downplayed even further when all these bad
loans went into default, setting into motion the domino effect globally!
GWB was a US president who just happened to be in office when the chickens
finally came home to roost from these ridiculous lending practices, which then
continued to unfold after Obama came into office. The difference however is that
Obama has made a bad situation even worse through bad financial policies that
were stated over and over to have historically proven themselves ineffective and
even counterproductive.
To see the folly of his policies just ask yourself this O man : If you have $100
in the bank and no realistic hope that the balance would appreciably accrue
anytime soon, would it seem practical to slap $1000 onto a credit card you know
you couldn't reasonably expect to pay back, or worse yet the reality is that
you'd then expect totally uninvolved parties to pay it back FOR YOU instead?
If that seems to make sense to you then it would seem you are lock-step in line
with the lunacy Obama and the again Democratically controlled congress enacted
with their "stimulus" spending
BTW, in case you actually read this far PJ, good for you, but I won't hold my
breath that you'll "get it" anyway

Did someone forget about President Hoover? He plunged the country into the
great depression. However, he really didn't put anyone on food stamps. He let
them stave. President Roosevelt put the most people on food stamps when he
enacted their existence. So, no it is not President Obama or Bush W..

Dayum. I didn't think I'd open such a big can of worms with this one. I
thought the Obama foodstamps was hilarious. Far as the previous presidents go,
well, I still have a lot to learn. History wasn't my favorite subject.

If George W. Bush had doubled the national debt, which had taken more than two
centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years,
would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had criticized a state law that he admitted he never even
read, would you think that he is just an ignorant hot head?
If George W. Bush joined the country of Mexico and sued a state in the United
States to force that state to continue to allow illegal immigration, would you
question his patriotism and wonder who's side he was on?
If George W. Bush had put 87000 workers out of work by arbitrarily placing a
moratorium on offshore oil drilling on companies that have one of the best
safety records of any industry because one company had an accident would you
have agreed?
If George W. Bush had used a forged document as the basis of the moratorium that
would render 87000 American workers unemployed would you support him?
If George W. Bush had been the first President to need a TelePrompTer installed
to be able to get through a press conference, would you have laughed and said
this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is really controlled by
smarter men behind the scenes?
If George W. Bush had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to take Laura Bush
to a play in NYC, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had reduced your retirement plan's holdings of GM stock by 90%
and given the unions a majority stake in GM, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would
you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive and incorrectly
formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown had given him a thoughtful and historically
significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of
his speeches, would you have thought this embarrassingly narcissistic and tacky?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have
approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the nonexistent
"Austrian language," would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who
cannot seem to keep current in their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had stated that there were 57 states in theUnited States ,
would you have said that he is clueless.
If George W. Bush would have flown all the way to Denmark to make a five minute
speech about how the Olympics would benefit him walking out his front door in
Texas , would you havethought he was a self important, conceited, egotistical
jerk.
If George W. Bush had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to "Cinco de
Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador when it was the 5th of May
(Cinco de Mayo), and continued to flub it when he tried again, would you have
winced in embarrassment?
If George W. Bush had misspelled the word "advice" would you have
hammered him for it for years like Dan Quayle and potatoes as proof of what a
dunce he is?
If George W. Bush had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel to go plant a single tree
on Earth Day, would you have concluded he's a hypocrite?
If George W. Bush's administration had okayed Air Force One flying low over
millions of people followed by a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing
widespread panic, would you have wondered whether they actually get what
happened on 9-11?
If George W. Bush had failed to send relief aid to flood victims throughout the
Midwest with more people killed or made homeless than in New Orleans , would
you want it made into a major ongoing political issue with claims of racism and
incompetence?
If George W. Bush had created the position of 32 Czars who report directly to
him, bypassing the House and Senate on much of what is happening in America,
would you have approved.
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even
though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and
impressive? Can't think of anything? Don't worry. He's done all this in 15
months -- so you'll have two years and nine months to come up with an answer.
