Need to add "Despair" in there, and change the D into a blue toilet (someone on FR already drew it, but I don't know where it is).
Might throw "deceit" in there as well.

Census Bureau reports new spike in poverty
“The nation’s poverty rate jumped to 14.3% in 2009, its highest level since 1994, and the 43.6 million Americans in need is the highest number in 51 years of record-keeping, the government said Thursday.”
Sorry. I’m not good enough in graphics/don’t want to post to an open site, like Photobucket or some such. I’m considering my nom de plume/IP. I get security data bombs sometimes.
Maybe include Dhimmi? D’oh?
“Ich Bin ein Berliner” 2010 = Americans are all doughnuts: squishy, covered in sugar and being gutted in the middle.
You could throw “Despair” in there, and use the new symbol for all but the last, where the D will look like a blue toilet inside a circle. Somebody already put the Obambi symbol in place of the “O” in D0ne.

Wow. Thank you. I’m trying to remember how many of those 14 mil I bought. I know it was at least two.
Horrible news. If only they’d stop inflating the unemployment number and let everyone know the true state of unemployment ... there would probably be complete chaos in the streets.
Somehow saying I told you so in-regards to Obama and the Democrats bringing even more ruin to our country just does not satisfy me anymore.
Somehow saying I told you so to some certain FReepers whose complaint against unemployment was that there were plenty of jobs out there and if you collected unemployment you were lazy just does not satisfy me.
Somehow saying I told you so to the stupid progressive’s who voted for Obama and continue to say the economy is recovering and I called BS does not satisfy me.
I wish I would have been wrong.
This is just plain bad. I would gladly take John McCain (with all his faults) any day over the clowns we have in office right now (NObama)...
SeekandFind posted a Business Insider article on this FOUR days ago.
Amazing the AP and FOX JUST NOW is reporting this nightmare.
???????????????
I can’t recall ever seeing a photo of Barak Obama with “his” dog. Michelle, yes, but not Barak. Am I wrong?
Thank you for that. I some searching, and it appears to just be a local uptick (N. Ga).
How long until the AP puts out “unexpected”?
“We are being set up to start a NEW WAR ON POVERTY which simply means more redistribution!”
I think you are correct. Meanwhile, I’m waiting for the MSM to start showing us the tent cities for the homeless.....Nevermind, we don’t have a Republican president.
yeah it’s irritating. I find his supporters more annoying than he is though. He wouldn’t be in power if it wasn’t for them.
I just stopped paying attention to it all awhile back.
Poverty is now deemed being without an ipod.
We have the fattest 'poor' people I've ever seen.
I think this calls for another obama vacation.
Understanding Poverty in America
http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NjJiMDE5Y2M1OWNmNDFhMDIwNWMxYTA1Mzk5ZDkxMTk=
The average person identified as “poor” by the government has a living standard far higher than the public imagines. According to the government’s own surveys, the typical “poor” American has cable or satellite TV, two color TVs, and a DVD player or VCR. He has air conditioning, a car, a microwave, a refrigerator, a stove, and a clothes washer and dryer. He is able to obtain medical care when needed. His home is in good repair and is not overcrowded. By his own report, his family is not hungry, and he had sufficient funds in the past year to meet his family’s essential needs. While this individual’s life is not affluent, it is far from the images of dire poverty conveyed by liberal activists and politicians.
Conventional accounts of poverty not only exaggerate hardship, they also underestimate government spending on the poor. In 2008, federal and state governments spent $714 billion (or 5 percent of the total economy) on means-tested welfare aid, providing cash, food, housing, medical care, and targeted social services to poor and low-income Americans. (This sum does not include Social Security or Medicare.)
If converted into cash, this aid would be nearly four times the amount needed to eliminate poverty in the U.S. by raising the incomes of all poor households above the federal poverty levels.
We have Obama and company to thank for this latest development.
Boot the dems all out in Nocember.
