There are plenty of legitimate things to attack Obama and congress on, including renewing the Patriot act, war involvement, guatanamo bay and other fuckups but you’d have better chances proving that he was involved in Sandy Hook shootings than bills signed by other presidents.

Programs are always there…OBAMAs directives just advertises it to everyone… I got my application in the mail. By advertising and pushing it, those without dire need will now use it…where in the past, those with dire need often found a way.  
Look how many more people are on food stamps today than 4 years ago. One reason is that it was made easy, and advertised.

I DO believe it is an obligation to help those truly in need…which is probably a small percentage of those receiving checks/stamps/phones today.
