The Obama "give away" causes a near riot.

Healthcare is going to a mess, and is nothing more than affirmative action care for people who won't pay it.

I love the smell of government cheese in the morning.

Smells like... liberalism.

Why don’t they use the money to generate some real jobs in Detroit? Or is that just wishful thinking?

We are forced to spend money to deal with problems that were the creation of liberal thinking in the first place.

That’s terrible, looks like scenes from `Soylent Green.’

Please note, these people were not lining up to work.

Get used to it...wealth redistribution before your very eyes.

James is hoping to get a few bucks to get his cell phone turned back...and buy some smokes and rum.

Unfortunately it came out of MY budget...the one where little Elizabeth’s college funding was going to come from...or where MY mortgage payment comes from.

Absolutely disgusting.

So, there was $15M in Porkulus for this “project.” They only have money for 3,400 and each family would get $3,000. So ~1/3 of the pork was skimmed by administration?

Do you think Obama would let 56,000 dem voters go home disillusioned with him? What is that? $2.4B to give them all a piece of candy so they vote again?

Sickening.

Another one for Cobo. Just love the people living 1/2 mile south of me.

Obama’s Hoovervilles. Except all of Detroit is a Hooverville.

"about 50,000 Detroiters descended on downtown to pick up 5,000 applications"

Ok, just curious, but doesn't it seem rather strange to only create 5,000 applications for a program that will make 3,400 awards?

Short on paper?

Not enough federal staff to review applications?

just gotta wonder. . .

Looks like there's not going to be enough Danegeld to go around.

Wonder when the riots will break out.

"People fighting over a line; people threatening to shoot each other -- is this what we've come to?"

Pretty much.

This is only the tip of the iceberg, baby.
