Obama: bringing back the old days.

Iron Gate was forced to suspend its food box distribution program Friday morning due to a large, misinformed crowd.
The line started forming at 6:30 a.m. outside the food pantry, located on the south side of Trinity Episcopal Church, 501 S. Cincinnati Ave.
“We estimate there were 2,000 people here this morning,” said Connie Cronley, executive director. “The heat, the crowd and the incorrect information they have received rendered, in my judgment, a situation that was unsafe.”

Food lines, anyone?
Obama: bringing back the old days.
” Cronley attributed the crowd to false information sent via group e-mails and Facebook regarding supplemental food boxes, 30-pound food boxes paid for by a $2 million federal stimulus grant to the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. “
Hmmmm... Sounds like it could be the work of “Community Organizers”
Ask yourself who profits from civil unrest??
free cheese
your stimulus dollars at work
It looks like the nobama’s plan is working oh so well. the nobama is creating a class of dependent people who feel they must have handouts. Very well... Very well...
Why aren’t we seeing more of these stories about food lines and soup kitchens? When unemployment was around 4% - 6% under the Bush administration, theses stories were front page - every day
Facebook rears it’s evil head again.
Try to think strategically, here —
Last week, outside influences (amorphous and unidentified ‘anarchists’) tried (and, thankfully, failed) to escalate an incendiary situation into a full-blown riot...
Now, what could be construed as a co-ordinated misinformation campaign sets up a potentially incendiary situation in Tulsa... (were ‘anarchists’ waiting in the wings here, too??)
Somebody is looking to trigger a “Long Hot Summer”, just in time for the campaign season.....
If ‘free cheese’ is as far as you can think, here, you’re in for some big surprises in the near future.... ;)
My opinion - but I’m guessing less than 5% of those 2000 are needy and the other 95% are just greedy
Once a month a local food bank hands out food in our little city. The car line forms about 6AM and extends for blocks down the street. I first noticed this about 2 years ago.
The bread lines reminiscent of the Soviet Union.
God help us.
Check out the Job Gain/Loss map (2004 through July 2009 — doesn’t even include 2010) to see how bad it is:

In 2011 taxes will go up, and shortly afterward health care reform will start its unimaginable cost, resulting in more unemployed. God help us if he gets carbon taxes as well.
That's the problem with gubmint welfare. It's extended not only to those who can't do for themselves, but also to those who won't do for themselves.....and the rest of us are forced to pay for it regardless of whether we want to participate or not.
And these poor hungry folk (let’s assume there aren’t any grifters here) didn’t get good and furious at the perpetrators of the hoax, and run him or her or them out of town on a cheap Chinese rail with scrounged tar and feathers?
It’s really bad when you have a whole race, or a sizable piece of it, whooping it up in the pity party. Otherwise people will eventually get tired of living small on welfare and want to live larger by their efforts.
“When unemployment was around 4% - 6% under the Bush administration, theses stories were front page - every day”
I don’t remember any food lines, but I do remember them trying to find stories on individuals.
The other types of stories during the Bush administration were more predicated on “concerns” about the economy. That’s nothing more than an attempt to talk down the economy.
I knew the press was bias for years, we all have known. It’s just astounding to watch them try to prop up the economy when they were doing the exact opposite from 2001-2009.
“those who won’t do for themselves.”
Those are the people that need to be removed from the system. Also, there needs to be a drug testing requirement for Welfare assistance. (I know... I can dream).
