I believe Obama knows he will be beaten this year, and he is in high speed wrecking mode.

Doing all he can as fast as he can to destroy America.

Yes, was thinking the same thing the other day when I first saw this. Or, at least hedging his bets. But this should end up in court, I would think.

When I read the title I knew it was to screw Clinton. He hates Clinton and trying to undo all the programs he put into place. Not only welfare reform but also Don’t ask don’t tell. It appears that Rush agrees with me.

Rush is right - it should be in an ad.

Hopefully, it will be - it can be another following the theme of “another reason you cannot trust Barack Obama”.

Hey Zer0, why dont you just set up a stand outside the White House? Dont be coy. Have your check book ready and just ask people how much how much they want for their vote in November. For demanding voters, have a guy with a hoop; be prepared to jump through it!!

There is a much quicker, more effective -- and hugely more satisfying -- remedy.

In a little over three months, the voters can vote the POS out of office -- in a resounding landslide.

If we do our jobs, the Congress won't have to do their's.

Bump.

But you know, the GOP isn't done with Obozo yet -- they need to know Obamacare will stand up, and that they can tell the Fortune 500 companies to go ahead and dump their healthcare plans and flow their healthcare premiums through to the bottom line. That is why the GOP ditched the 2008 election, and why they're ditching this one, too.

It'll be a miracle if Romney gets elected, and frankly PTB don't want the White House this year. Not until private health insurance (except for executives) is dead and gone.

Welfare Under the Obama Administration: Bed Rest as Work

An Analysis of How the Obama Administration is Undermining Welfare Reform

WASHINGTON - In a questionable guidance scheme released yesterday to states, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) believes it can unilaterally grant itself the authority to exempt states from the work requirements that were a critical element of welfare reform and that could allow states to allow things like bed rest, smoking cessation and exercise to count as a work activity to receive these government benefits.

The 1996 welfare reform bill, otherwise known as the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), ended welfare as an entitlement and empowered states with the authority to create unique and robust welfare to work programs.  A central feature of devolution of federal authority back to the states was a vigorous work requirement for states, including a specific set of activities that qualified as “work.”

Over the years, as states used the reduction in the welfare caseload to mitigate compliance with the 1996 TANF work requirement, the focus on vital welfare to work initiatives diminished.

In 2005, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office reported that several states listed as part of their definition of a “federal work activity” under TANF the following:

1.    Bed rest
2.    Personal care activities
3.    Massage
4.    Exercise
5.    Journaling
6.    Motivational reading
7.    Smoking cessation
8.    Weight loss promotion
9.    Participating in parent teacher meetings
10.    Helping a friend or relative with household tasks and errands

I am sure it is. On the other hand maybe he is talking or hinting about class warfare?
