Where’s Mine?
What a surprise. They held a pro-stimulus rally in the middle of the day, and a welfare office broke out:
If you follow me on Twitter, you saw my comment earlier this afternoon about the savior-based moment in Ft. Myers this afternoon between President Obama and a woman named Henrietta Hughes — who demanded that Obama give her a home with her own bathroom and kitchen.
“The mood inside Harborside turned somber when Henrietta Hughes took the microphone and in a cracking voice pleaded for help.
‘We need our own kitchen and our own bathroom,’ she said in tears. ‘Please. We need help.’”
But Henrietta was not alone in asking for a handout (and a toilet); she just had a low number.
President Obama has left the stage after an emotional question and answer session which ended with an Edison State college student named Julio asking when he could get a better job than the one he has at McDonalds.
Then there was the guy who lost his job and wanted to know why unemployment insurance didn’t match his last paycheck.
I don’t think he was satisfied with Obama’s offer of an extra hundred bucks a month.
As for what impact the plan will have on Florida, in a statement the White House said the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan will deliver immediate, tangible impacts, including:
…
Offering an additional $100 per month in unemployment insurance benefits to 761,000 workers in Florida who have lost their jobs.
Wouldn’t President Obama himself have to wonder how so many deadbeats had so much free time in the middle of a workday to ask for so much free stuff?
Rhetorical question: he got exactly what he wanted. What better way to sell a welfare bill than appeal directly to welfare cases?
You think I’m cynical? I’m a rank amateur compared to our Cynical Manipulator in Chief.

So, do I have to keep being nice to people who voted for our lord and savior Barack Hussein Obama? Because I’m going to have a really hard to doing that. The first complaint I hear, I’m afraid my head may explode from exercising self-restraint.

what do you expect from a President who’s lived off of the dole his whole life, and who’s economic policy is to tax excellence, (the productive) to subsidize the mediocracy, (the unproductive).

Real Americans have got to step up and correct the media liberals…why does all this information have to be “off the record” so to speak.
I have so many Kool Aid drinkers in my family and I can’t even seem to convince them that Hussein O is a scam artist.
We need to band together and stop the madness.
We are all headed for citizenship in a 3rd world country. Amerika.
Why are there so many bloodsuckers in this country?????

I want to point out that there are now two Carols on this thread. May I suggest that the second Carol use a last initial or something to separate herself from the first Carol, who has been posting here since dinosaurs roamed the earth.
