Romney was Right About Obama Gifts but Should Have Addressed Issue

So Romney was 'picked up' again by news reporters in a telephone conference call to his campaigners, telling them that it was Obama's 'gifts' that put Obama over the top in the election.  So, what's with all the criticism?
Who really knew the magnitude of the gifts at the time, nor the probably widespread voter fraud (ie 59 voting zones where not a single person voted for Romney out of 19,000 votes in Philadelphia precincts and more elsewhere).

Politics - Republican Gear In hindsight it's easy to say Romney should have done more - and he should have!  It would still have been a taught battle to win over those pretty intransigent minority and young voters whose food stamp allocation has been nearly doubled by Obama along with welfare and disability increases - and, of course, those FREE 'Obama phones.'  Romney could have - and probably should have - tried to address the Hispanic market, which deep down believes in hard work  more than living off the dole.  He should have come right out and told them that Obama is actually keeping them down with these literal 'Christmas Gifts'. The average recipient is now on some kind of government assistance an average of almost three years!  No wonder people are dropping out, not even listed in the work force, thus another reason recent employment figures appear as though the jobless rate is dropping. 

Obama is often congratulated for getting out his voters.  If you believe in hardball  'Chicago-style' tactics then, yes, he did a good job. It's sad to think that in order to win Romney might have had to resort to the same thing but I'm afraid he would have. Such is the life and times in 2012. If there's any payback perhaps we're seeing it now with Obama's 'win at any cost' attitude coming back to roost by having held back news of Petreus, the drone missle attacks and real reason for BenGazi until after the election.

OBAMA PHONE - OBAMA GIVES

AWAY FREE PHONES, costing

taxpayers big

And now with the election right upon us, leave it to Obama to find another way to woo voters - by giving away free phones to his market of low income people.

Though “the Obama Phone” has been around for a while, today it has just gotten viral-attention as a pre-election talking point.
“The Obama Phone” is a free phone from yet another President Barack Obama government program that gives to the financially-needy via the United States taxpayers’ money. The program alleges that communication should not only be for those people who can afford it.
Prior to Obama’s becoming-publicized free phone, there has been another program in the past – The Lifeline Program – which gave financial assistance for low-income families to afford land lines. According to persons who have engaged in the newer Obama cell phone program, the newer program actually gives them a cell phone with an allotted number of minutes per month.

Executive Summary (Scribd.com) News that the poverty rate has risen to 15.1 percent of Americans, the highest level in nearly a decade, has set off a predictable round of calls for increased government spending on social welfare programs. Yet this year the federal government will spend more than $668 billion on at least 126 different programs to fight poverty. And that does not even begin to count welfare spending by state and local governments, which adds $284 billion to that figure. In total, the United States spends nearly $1 trillion every year to fight poverty. That amounts to $20,610 for every poor person in America, or $61,830 perpoor family of three.  
Since President Obama took office, federal welfare spending has increased by 41 percent, more than $193 billion per year.(Nearly $500 billion total in welfare this year.) Despite this government largess, more than 46 million Americans continue to live in poverty. Despite nearly $15 trillion in total welfare spending since Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty in 1964, the poverty rate is perilously close to where we began more than 40 years ago.

Clearly we are doing something wrong. Throwing money at the problem has neither reduced poverty nor made the poor self sufficient. It is time to reevaluate our approach to fighting poverty. We should focus less on making poverty more comfortable and more on creating the prosperity that will get people out of poverty.
