Obama money

Published



Filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, has unleashed a firestorm of social controversy by interviewing some welfare recipients who told her on camera that they believe they’re entitled to “Obama money.” That is, welfare checks. Some of those Pelosi spotlighted are young men who are not even looking for work. They have plenty of excuses for that. But the bottom line: They want money handed to them, and stuff you if you don’t like it. Also, some of these men have multiple children by multiple “baby mamas.” Again, their posture is blank you if you don’t approve.

That attitude appalls many hardworking folks, but truthfully, there always have been layabouts, and there always will be. But now, in some circles, it’s almost stylish to be a parasite. Recently, Mitt Romney was confronted by a heckler in Illinois who said: “What about pursuit of happiness? You know what would make me happy? Free birth control!”
