Hey Doodles, TT, Woo Woo.... do you remember me telling my story that I applied for food stamps but was denied getting them because I had more then $1,700 in the bank.
Well here's a story that almost made me forget the ungodly pain I'm living with since my knee replacement. You're probably thinking that I'm whining again about pain again. Youre' right, I admit it, I'm a wimp when it comes to pain but the knee pain I'm dealing with will someday come to an end.
The pain I feel now since reading this article of how my government betrayaed me when they said "You don't qualify for food stamps because you have more then $1,700 in the bank". And yet this woman with an expense purse and wallet and $800 in cash in the expensive wallet somehow did qualify for the food stamps that were in the expensive purse.
I wonder what kind of car the expensive wallet and purse with food stamps were in.

Morning Monte. I don't understand the food stamp program at all, other than to know there is a TON of fraud in it. I have a friend who has bunches of rentals and every day someone is coming in trying to sell their food stamp cards so they can get cash for drugs, alcohol or whatever.
And there you are seriously needing the darn things and they decline you??? Have you tried again? Maybe you should take the money out of the bank and then go apply?
The first Rasmussen poll post debate is out. It only includes one third sampling after the last debate - but here are the results...
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 46%. Two percent (2%) prefers some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided.
This is the second straight day with Romney enjoying a 4-point advantage.
He said a amazing thing happened. The challenger (Romney) became the CiC and the President became the challenger. Hs said when you turn the volume off....you can see it in the way the two move and interact.... Reagon's communication director Deaver said "Television is 85% visual 10% tone of voice and 5% what is said."
If that hold true today....then Romney will soon get another poll bump for being 'Presidential' in the final debate.

Chris Matthews said much the same thing immediately fllowing the debate. To paraphrase, he said if he had been dropped in during the middle of the debate knowing nothing, he would have said that Romney was the president while Obama was the challenger.

That's nuts!
Every state manages the Food Stamp program differently. The reason? The Federal Regulations on the program is complex and lengthy. Each state then makes its own interpretation of the rules.
In the meantime (while we wait for the Donald), this little reminder needs to be posted again and again for every voter who still thinks our problems stem from Republican policies.
"For those who are listening to the liberals propagating the fallacy that everything is "Bush's Fault", think about this:
January 3rd, 2007 was the day the Democrats took over the Senate and the Congress. FIFTEEN months (that's a year and three months) before the "CRISIS" began...
At the time: The DOW Jones closed at 12,621.77 The GDP for the previous quarter was 3.5% The Unemployment rate was 4.6% George Bush's Economic policies SET A RECORD of 52 STRAIGHT MONTHS of JOB GROWTH
Remember the day... January 3rd, 2007 was the day that Barney Frank took over the House Financial Services Committee and Chris Dodd took over the Senate Banking Committee. The economic meltdown that happened 15 months later was in what part of the economy? BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES!
Bush asked Congress 17 TIMES to stop Fannie & Freddie - starting in 2001 because it was financially risky for the US economy.
And who took the THIRD highest pay-off from Fannie Mae AND Freddie Mac? OBAMA And who fought against reform of Fannie and Freddie? OBAMA and the Democrat Congress.
Budgets do not come from the White House. They come from Congress and the party that controlled Congress since January 2007 is the Democrat Party.
Furthermore, the Democrats controlled the budget process for 2008 & 2009 as well as 2010 & 2011.
In that first year, they had to contend with George Bush, which caused them to compromise on spending, when Bush somewhat belatedly got tough on spending increases.
For 2009 though, Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid bypassed George Bush entirely, passing continuing resolutions to keep government running until Barack Obama could take office. At that time, they passed a massive omnibus spending bill to complete the 2009 budgets.
And where was Barack Obama during this time? He was a member of that very Congress that passed all of these massive spending bills, and he signed the omnibus bill as President to complete 2009.
If the Democrats inherited any deficit, it was the 2007 deficit, the last of the Republican budgets. That deficit was the lowest in five years, and the fourth straight decline in deficit spending. After that, Democrats in Congress took control of spending, and that includes Barack Obama, who voted for the budgets.
If Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In a nutshell, what Obama is saying is I inherited a deficit that I voted for and then I voted to expand that deficit four-fold since January 20th.
Were Session got the figure, I don't know. I do know he is one of the most respected men on the hill.
I do not care what the FAT rich GOP sentaor is talking a bout TT! he has his own butt covered and then not giving a Damn a bout poor and hungry America ...

Here's a sad commentary of the state of affairs under barack Obama.
"In a decade, federal spending to pay for the interest on America's debt will exceed total spending on the defense budget by $125 billion, or 20 percent, according to projections from the Congressional Budget Office and the Office of Budget Management. The projections are based on President Barack Obama's current budget plan."
In 2022, under Obama's budget, national defense spending will be $618 billion per year, while net interest payments will be $743 billion.
In fact, the interest payments are likely to be even higher, since these assumptions are based on the historically low interest rates remaining the same (which is not likely over the course of the next decade). "If interest rates rise just one percentage point above baseline projections, the government would pay an additional $1 trillion in interest payments over ten years," the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee comments.
WhatUwish4: Sooo...the fact checkers have been busy.
Obama was wrong about Romney's recommendations for GM Romney was right
Obama was wrong about Sequestration Romney was right
Obama was wrong about the military and bayonettes Romney was right
Obama was wrong about Status of Forces Romney was right

CIA’s Hayden: Romney Right On Iran Tuesday, 23 Oct 2012 03:07 PM
By Jim Meyers and John Bachman
Former CIA Director Michael Hayden tells Newsmax that Mitt Romney was right — and President Obama wrong — when the GOP candidate said during the Monday debate that a nuclear Iran and not a terrorist attack was the biggest threat to America’s national security.
The retired 4-star Air Force General also says he is “not very hopeful” that negotiations with the Iranians will dissuade them from developing nuclear weapons. And he predicts that a President Romney would “review” Obama’s exemption of some of Iran’s major trading partners from imposing sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
Hayden served as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from May 2006 until February 2009, shortly after Obama’s inauguration. He also served as Director of the National Security Agency from 1999 to 2005, and is now on the Advisory Board of LIGNET.com, a Washington, D.C.-based intelligence analysis and forecasting service affiliated with Newsmax.
During Monday’s presidential debate, President Obama stated that the biggest national security threat was an attack by a terrorist organization, and Romney said it was a nuclear-armed Iran.

Obama's order to do the SEAL bin Laden raid....will never be and can never be found at his Presidential library.
