Yep, as usual, they blame Ba-Ba for the Food Stamp deal when the (R) actually pushed this through back in 2008...after Ba-Ba vetoed it. Yeah, he vetoed an increase in food stamp spending... for all of you hoodwinked individuals. I actually posted the link a long time ago about this same thing and here's the excerpt:
............................................................................................................................
The 2008 farm bill (H.R. 2419, the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008) was enacted May 22, 2008 through an override of the President’s veto. The new law increased the commitment to Federal food assistance programs by more than $10 billion over the next 10 years. In efforts to fight stigma, the law changed the name of the Federal program to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP as of Oct. 1, 2008, and changed the name of the Food Stamp Act of 1977 to the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. States maintained flexibility to name the program on their own but were encouraged to change the name to SNAP or another alternate name. In fact, more than ten States had already changed the names of their programs by this time.

Yeah, he had a plan to get people off food stamps and motivated to get jobs as far as my research and notes confirm. But, the (R) knew as fact that the stamps would be needed due to the anticipated recession from the Bush years...and this is why they side stepped BO's veto. Please educate yourselves instead taking all the media's and talk show hosts word for any and everything you hear, folks. Those entities are TOXIC at the least.
