Patriot Post: Quotes of the Week

“[T]he fact is that more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history. Now, I know among the politically correct, you’re not supposed to use facts that are uncomfortable. … I believe every American of every background has been endowed by their creator with the right to pursue happiness. And if that makes liberals unhappy, I’m going to continue to find ways to help poor people learn how to get a job, learn how to get a better job and learn some day to own the job.”
–Newt Gingrich in the debate in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Since Obama’s inauguration, the food stamp rolls have increased by 18 million to a total of 46.2 million people. The annual cost in 2011 was $75.3 billion. The rolls increased dramatically under George W. Bush as well, but Obama’s increase is almost four times Bush’s rate. The White House characterized Gingrich’s assertion as “crazy,” but the culture of dependency fostered by this administration is not crazy. It’s despicable.

In Thursday night’s debate, Gingrich had another zinger: “Why is President Obama for young people being allowed to stay on their parents’ insurance until 26? Because he can’t get any jobs for them to go out and buy their own insurance. I have an offer to the parents of America: elect us, and your kids will be able to move out because they’ll have work.”
