Bobby - I completely understand that you do not like Obama nor his administration's work, especially around entitlement/welfare programs. And of course I support your right to express you opinion. I wouldn't have it any other way.

But "funnies" like these tend to spread biases that are not founded in reality. These all appear to have a r****t undertone that indicates black people get free stuff and Obama is taking away form white people's families. At least one statistic indicates otherwise.


This particular site, Statisticbrain.com, doesn't advise the dates covered, so I offer it with that caveat. But it does indicate welfare recipients are pretty much equally white as they are black (other statistics I found indicated a majority are white.)

I realize it's hard to figure out which statistics to trust; some lean left, some lean right.
I am as likely as anyone (OK, almost anyone) to indulge in humor that offends at least someone, but these seem to just be spreading unfounded bias.

Thanks for explaining Bobby, and I believe all you say in your reply.
I just get my hackles up when I perceive what I think is r****m and multiple slams to what I think history will judge as one of the great presidents of modern times.
