Thanks in large part to the failed policies of the Obama-Pelosi-Reid government homelessness and hunger is spreading at a record pace across the US.
Reuters reported:
Hunger is spreading while the number of homeless families is increasing as a result of the recession and other factors, according to a report on Tuesday.
The U.S. Conference of Mayors said cities reported a 26 percent jump in demand for hunger assistance over the past year, the largest average increase since 1991.
Middle-class families as well as the uninsured, elderly, working poor and homeless increasingly looked for help with hunger, which was mainly fueled by unemployment, high housing costs and low wages.
The 2009 report is based on a survey of 27 cities, including Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco, that comprise the group’s task force on hunger and homelessness.
Is it any wonder then that “President Obama’s job approval rating has fallen to 47 percent in the latest Gallup poll, the lowest ever recorded for any president at this point in his term?”

Desperate people looking to the Federal Government for assistance….hmmmm….the cynic in me is saying that this is exactly their goal!

How long till Obama blames Bush for this one?
Speaking of which, can we start a “Blame Bush Pool” now? I.e., everyone guesses how many months Obama will continue (while in office) to try to blame Bush for the disastrous results of Obama’s own policies, and whoever comes the closest wins a Nobama t-shirt?
(I think the problem with this idea will be that everyone will guess the same thing — 48 months.)

I’d rather start a pool to guess how much longer Dear Leader Hussein stays in power.
Hopefully, and with good organization, not much.

It’s all part of the leftist neo-communist agenda to destroy the West from within. Move along folks. Nothing to see here.

Thanks for that Otter, climate Nazis at their best!
I only hope that for every one of the 5 captured terror suspects in Denmark, there are another 50!!!

With their ultimate stated aim of de-industrializing developed nations, the criminal cabal in Copenhagen will turn world control over to a huge central bank. Development in third world countries will be frozen as well.
This will lead to the starvation of billions worldwide. After reading Holdren’s book , I can state as fact that this is precisely their ultimate aim. A small, feudal society with the current elite as lords and masters.

I don’t guess we need to ask the homeless and hungry how that hope and change is working out for them.

[...] Gateway: Hunger, homelessness up in Obama land. So a year and a big fat porkulus later, who’s going to own that? Up here, that’s probably Bush. [...]

The U.S. Conference of Mayors
Now there’s a group which, having led our cities to be such a shining example, has done so much to help America that it can hardly be determined.

Meanwhile, hard on the heels of the much-ballyhooed “jobs summit” which was preceded by the EPA promising regulations to counter the now-health-harming CO2,
“Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said her agency will seek to enact an array of 90 rules and regulations next year aimed at giving more power to workers and unions.”
Feel better now?

More:
Congress is now considering expanding Medicare to provide converage for more Americans. It is unclear how this will square with the previous committment to pare “waste, fraud, and abuse” from Medicare to help cushion the sticker-shock from the $Trillion-plus health care boondoggle.

And on and on:
Heritage analysts have determined that requirements under the new health care bill may induce, even essentially require, states to drop Medicaid coverage, leaving the federal government to foot the bill. Another $Trillion down the memory hole that is Washington, D.C.

And finally, back on the jobs front, we have the brilliant new (not really) idea of establishing a National Caulking Brigade, whereby millions of us can caulk each other’s windows up this winter, thus revitalizing the economy that will otherwise fall off the edge of the world if the federal government doesn’t save us.

THIS IS ALL THE GOAL! The more people on the government dole, the more people reliant and dependent upon the government for survival (food, welfare money, free housing, free health insurance, and in the future free cell phones and free broadband internet… yes, they’re working on those) the more POWER government has over the people, and the LESS FREEDOM the people possess.

CONTRARY TO THE HOPES OF monster-government types, the homeless population of Seattle has been dropping remarkably in the last months. ‘There are some old-school shelters wondering where all the homeless are’, says the Seattle Times this morning. One shelter is closing for lack of clients.
Looks like homelessness is partly a tactic of opportunity.

Notice how it’s a foreign news service running this piece. Only when a Republican is president does this problem get any significant attention by U.S. news outlets.

The Tea Party folks need to get ahead of the curve and set up soup kitchens with hot soup and tea for hungry dropins. Put up big sifns “Helping Americans weather Obamanomics”. Use Alinsky against those morons.

But first: POTUS will tell Congress today the admin expects to lose about $30 billion of the $82 billion government bailout of the auto industry.]

Bubbles Troubles
[POTUS borrowing real people from VPOTUS? POTUS seems most comfortable in the bubble he complains of? POTUS is the bubble? The economy is a bubble? Has POTUS ever remarked on a bubble before? Is this Biden metaphor? Biden has been inside the Senate bubble since 1972. Neither POTUS nor VPOTUS have not worked outside of government or government fed enterprises. Does POTUS mean bubble or palace?]
