More like a fact. The number of Americans receiving food stamps has skyrocketed since Obama took office.
Via Beltway Confidential:
President Obama’s White House spokesman dismissed as “crazy” Newt Gingrich’s claim that Obama has “put” people on food stamps, citing the ailing economy as the cause for the expanded use of welfare programs.
“Well, you know as well as I do that that’s crazy,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said when pressed on the issue. “The fact of the matter is this, country is emerging from the worst rec since the great depression,” he said initially. “When this president took the oath of office in January 2009 this economy was in free fall . . . [resulting in] a dramatic increase in the number of people who needed assistance.”
Our crazy “food stamp president” wouldn’t know what a job would be, if it bit his wife in the arse.
And just when you thought it was time for him to finally go to work, what does he do?
President Barack Obama will visit Walt Disney World on Thursday to “unveil a strategy that will significantly help boost tourism and travel,” a White House aide said today.
The president is expected to deliver his remarks inside the Magic Kingdom, with Disney’s iconic Cinderella Castle as backdrop. The resort has prohibited employees from using passes to get into its flagship theme park for the day and taken a series of steps to steer guests into its other three parks, as well.
Always thought Obama was a Mickey Mouse president, this just confirms it…
