Welcome to Obamaville, where 1 in 5 children are on food stamps

This past weekend I had an Obamabot angrily inform me that his Dear Leader has finally fixed George Bush's mess, and our economy is now roaring along like never before. "Just look at the stock market!," he sneered.

The irony of him working 3 part-time jobs (with no benefits) instead of the much higher-paying full-time 9-5 job he had during the Bush Administration was lost on him.

So I guess he won't believe his lyin' eyes today when he reads the latest news out of the Census Bureau. Or he'll blame Rethuglicans for sabotaging The One's munificence again.

Sixteen million children were on food stamps as of last year, the highest number since the nation's economy tumbled in 2008.

Numbers released by the Census Bureau Wednesday as part of its annual look at children and families show that one in five children were on food stamp assistance in 2014. The survey was taken last spring.

The number of people receiving food stamps — now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP — spiked through the recession and has stayed at a higher level since. In the 2007 Census survey, 9 million children received SNAP assistance.

So Obama managed to put 7 million additional children on food stamps. Yeah, that's how I measure a successful economic recovery, how about you?

Around 46.5 million people received food stamps last year, according to the Agriculture Department, which oversees the aid, up from around 26 million in 2007.

Twenty million more Americans living on the dole. Wow, I never knew Obama was such an economic genius!

The Obamabots, soon to be Hillary's horde, are deluded. They live in a fantasy universe, where progressive policies don't fail because they're wrong, they fail because they weren't progressive enough. If they could only tax a few more rich people (but not George Soros or Tom Steyer!) then everything would magically be perfect. Rachel Maddow said so! And she's smart!

Meanwhile, children in America go hungry. But well-fed liberals say they care, honest!, so there's that. The thing is, the more they care, the worse off the rest of America gets. Oops.

UPDATE 29 Jan 2015 11:49:
Oh look, the CBO predicts tepid economic growth, rising deficits for the forseeable future.

I guess it's somehow George Bush's fault.

Comrades! Pay no attention to the Reality behind the curtain. MSNBC is truth!
