What He Meant By 'Success'

Remember when Barack Obama said that the stimulus was working as anticipated?  I think we now know what he was actually referring to:

For the first time, more than 34 million Americans received food stamps, which help poor people buy groceries, government figures said on Thursday, a sign of the longest and one of the deepest recessions since the Great Depression

Enrollment surged by 2 percent to reach a record 34.4 million people, or one in nine Americans, in May, the latest month for which figures are available.

It was the sixth month in a row that enrollment set a record. Every state recorded a gain in participation from April. Florida had the largest increase at 4.2 percent.

Food stamp enrollment is highest during times of economic stress. The U.S. unemployment rate of 9.5 percent is the highest in 26 years.

You see, if you actually understand what Barack Obama is all about -- redistribution of wealth and expansion of government -- the stimulus is working!  There are more people dependent upon government now than in a very long time, and the numbers are continuing to spiral upward.

Success!

Well, not for the American people.  But, I mean really, who's more important here, the average peon citizen or the Obamessiah?  Duh.

There's my two cents.
