Owing to the record number of Americans who today are receiving food stamps, some of President Barack Obama’s critics have called him the “food stamp president.”
That criticism initially drew scorn from the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who hurried to Obama’s defense.
But now he seems to have changed his mind. He says it should be an “honor” for Obama to be called the “food stamp president.”
Why? Because in addition to providing sustenance, Jackson argued during a recent speech, “Food stamps hire people.”
That is an interesting theory, to say the least.
