Jesse Jackson: 'It's an Honor to Be a Food Stamp President'

Jesse Jackson: 'It's an Honor to Be a Food Stamp President' By Mike Bates Created 02/26/2012 - 6:36pm

Weeks ago, Jesse Jackson accused GOP presidential candidate of "name calling" for referring to President Barack Obama as the "best food-stamp president in American history." But Saturday morning at his Rainbow PUSH forum, broadcast nationally on the Word Network, Jackson appears to have decided that being characterized that way isn't so bad after all.

As he often does, Jackson directed (video here) the audience to repeat his words of wisdom on the subject:

Say, it's an honor to be a food stamp president. Food stamps feed the hungry. Food stamps save the children. Food stamps help the farmer. Food stamps help the truck driver. Food stamps help the warehouse. Food stamps help the store. Food stamps hire people and feed people. Food stamps save people from starvation and malnutrition. Whenever you attack feeding the hungry, you undermine the moral authority of our faith. Give President Barack Obama a big hand. Show your love. Show your appreciation.

So is what Gingrich called Obama an insult or a plaudit? It's unlikely the mainstream media will ask Jackson the question or if he truly believes it's an honor for a president to oversee the addition of more than 10 million people to the food stamp rolls. The sensitive souls who report our news loathe ever putting the Most Reverend Jackson on the spot.

Wow, just wow. The denial of the shakedown artist wishing bread lines to the government on the people.

Meet the criminal mind.

This guy is so far gone he has no idea what normal is all about. (much less virtue or honor.)

I knew a airline sterwadess, or flight attendant,who happened to be working a flight where Jesse Jackson was on board.

She found him to be the most arrogant, condescending person she had ever met.

enough said.

Poor “reverend” Jesse. “Reverend” Al is rakin’ in all of the race pimping bucks Jesse used to rake in. Jesse has gone from “reverend” to irrelevant.

Obviously in his early days before the fleet of private jets.

He forgot to mention that Food Stamps buy Crack, and can be traded for cash, in “da Hood”, by the inner-city tribal inhabitants.....

Should read:

Say, it's an honor to be a slave president. The slave master feeds the hungry slave. The slave master save the children slaves. Slavery helps the farmer. Slavery helps the truck driver. Slavery helps the warehouse. Slavery helps the store. Slave masters "hire" people and feed people. The slave master saves people from starvation and malnutrition. Whenever you attack the slave master feeding his hungry slaves, you undermine the moral authority of our faith. Give President Barack Obama a big hand. Show your love. Show your appreciation.

Paychecks feed the hungry. Paychecks save the children. Paychecks help the farmer. Paychecks help the truck driver. Paychecks help the warehouse. Paychecks help the store. Paychecks hire people and feed people. Paychecks save people from starvation and malnutrition.

And it doesn't take any taxpayer money or any bloated government bureaurocracy to make it happen.

Well I can add that I know someone who worked for a certain bank in Chicago many years ago now that would say similar things in regards to him.

Does that still happen? I’ve heard it’s more difficult with the EBT cards but still possible.

And children out of wedlock as well

When I was a teenager, late 50s, early 60s, occasionally a young girl might become pregnant. When she did, she'd go live with aunt Millie over in another town or preferably another state. There was a sense of shame, too bad that same shame wasn't cast on the boy who got her pregnant too but that's the way it was.

There were a few families in town that got government "commodities", right or wrong, they too were somewhat shamed for it.

We have no shame any more. No sense of pride in taking care of our own.
