‘Where are the apologies?’
ObamaNation item by Michael M. Bates

Glancing at a newspaper in the Age of Obama can be hazardous to your mental – if not physical – health. Unemployment is rising.  For 18 straight months (not that it has anything to do with The Anointed One’s time in office) food stamp participation has set records.  We’re up to 40.8 million recipients.  More than 50 million Americans are now on Medicaid, a program intended for the poor.  One in six of our fellow citizens are in government anti-poverty programs. Then there’s that marvelous Obama stimulus.  Tax dollars putting people back to work with important, meaningful projects like developing a computerized choreography program, analyzing exotic ants, and studying if a soda tax will improve health.  Shovel ready is indeed an apt description.
