Americans "have to be sensitive" to people who are working two jobs and barely making ends meet, Republican John Kasich said Thursday night at a CNN-hosted town hall.
He used the example of a single, working mother with a couple of children: "Think about that mother -- gets up early in the morning; gets the kids off to school; goes to work; comes home; makes dinner. They're the heroes. They're really -- these single women with children are the real heroes in America, in my opinion." [...]
"Well, the one thing we want to make sure is they have healthcare, right? And that's a critical part for the working poor. But look, it all gets down to training and skills. And one of the things that we have to recognize in this country today is we have to have life-long learning and we have to keep training ourselves for the jobs that exist today, and the jobs that exist tomorrow.
"But I've got to tell you, when you think about these working poor, especially if it's a woman, and her husband walked out on her and she's got a couple of kids, we've got to look at the child care. We've got to think about the child care tax credit. And we've got to get employers to begin to realize that, you know, give this person a chance. Give them a chance to be able to move up.

Who?
Most of them are just dumb.
A single mother, abandoned by her husband, who makes good and teaches her children well is a heroine in my eyes. It’s the ones that fail that test who worry me.
Kasich is like the white version of Edward James Olmos.
...actually mothers that DO NOT dump their husbands/boyfriends for welfare checks are the REAL HEROES. Hopefully we’ll end that practice sooner, than later.
Pandering
As opposed to single mothers without children.
Clearly this fellow is a genius brimming with original ideas.
Well, you know a White male sure couldn’t be...
Okay Murphy Brown.
And apparently campaigning to women in the 1950s. Women without husbands with kids hardly come home and make dinners anymore. They open cans, boxes, fast food bags or pizza boxes.
Nothing like getting to the source of why these women are single with kids. Generous welfare and tax benefits that enable men to be mere sperm donors while the women sits on their behinds and the kids get into trouble and have a higher risk of being incarcerated. But nooo..RINOs like Kasich, endorsed by the NY Slimes, don’t care about that.
As opposed to the single Moms without children.....What a disappointment.
Single motherhood is the most certain way to make sure your child grows up in poverty and drops out of school.
Or the Welfare Queen with 3 kids by different daddies, who has the 3 kids because that’s how you game the system and get max benefits—in fact in the right states you can make more than the median income when you add in all the benes.
As opposed to the married moms and dads with children...
So where’s my award for doing it right? (I really don’t want an award, I’m just trying to prove a point.)
Do you know who impregnates most single mothers?
Yep, the mailman.
