(12,749 posts)Obama didn't get up one day and decide 3 months before a major election that people on welfare shouldn't have to work. You are being fed nonsense by the right wing noise machine. And how is your research going on the letter that RobMe and 28 other REPUBLICAN governors signed? Do you really think it was because 10 hours of work is too arduous? Really? You think that?. I don't have the time to research every Freeper nonsense -- there is an election coming in 3 months and I'm not going to waste it arguing with RW trolls or DemTards either. And oh, by the way, Obama wasn't born in Kenya.
And I don't know what your percentage question is -- what percentage of what?
Would you get it through your nog noggin that Obama is leaving the work requirement up to the states, according to that NY Times article? He is not outlawing a work requirement, he is letting the states decide e.g. how to handle that single mom with 3 kids in #108 finishing up med school or engineering or whatever, what their work requirement will be. It is stupid, it is foolish, and it is asinine to assign her to some county make-work project for 10 hours a week, where they try to find things for people to do. Why? so she finishes up sooner and becomes a taxpayer rather than a taxeater that much sooner. OK?
