President Obama's Record on Helping Our Poor..
"Things Obama Has Done For The Poor That Never Get Highlighted" Or Acknowledged..
1) A $20 billion increase for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps.

4) A $1.5 billion in Homelessness Prevention Funds to keep people in their homes and prevent homelessness.
5) A $5 billion increase for the Weatherization Assistance Program to help low income families save on their residential energy expenditures by making their homes more energy efficient.
6) A $4 Billion program, The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, "authorizes funding for federal school meal and child nutrition programs and increases access to healthy food for low-income children."
7) As part of the HCR bill, subsidies will be available to the uninsured and families with income between the 133 percent and 400 percent of poverty level($14,404 for individuals and $29,326 for a family of four).
8) Estabilished Open Doors to end the 640,000 men, women and children who are homeless in America by 2020.

This disturbing increase reflects the ongoing fallout of the economic downturn. But the fact is that the statistics would have been worse had it not been for a concerted effort by the Obama administration to ease povertyan effort that deserves more attention.

"Obama SAVED the US Economy - Running Away From that Record Would be Suicidal in 2016"
1. When the President had a remotely cooperative Congress, we passed a massive stimulus and jobs package that rescued this country from Soviet-style collapse.
2. This administration rescued the US automotive industry, saving hundreds of thousands if not millions of jobs, and restructured it to be competitive in the 21st century.
3. This administration invested so massively in this country's clean energy sector that it made us the world leader in these technologies, and made that sector one of the few consistent bright spots in job growth.
4. The lack of progress since then has been 100% the result of Republican obstruction in Congress since they took the House. There is no ambiguity on this point, it's just a fact.

We have so much further to go.. but, it will take more than Pres Obama and the Dems in Office now to Accomplish what we need for our Poor and Middle Class.. GOTV 2014
Sorry, this is so long if you've gotten to the bottom! I was doing some research for my post and came across this in my Drafts from 7/30/13 and thought it explained pretty well what it means in the Graphic above by "Still he Succeeds Still he makes American Lives Better".

As do Jimmy Carter, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders.. you know "the middle" "Warmongers"..
Jimmy Carter, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, all well respected leaders, have access and know a hellava lot more about this than those on the internet who can't grasp this isn't being run by the bush-cheney neocon crowd."I think we need to attack ISIS. I'm really concerned about them."
"Is the bombing of ISIS justified? I say yes. And I hope President Obama has every possible success in getting allies to join with us, some with ground troops effected inside Syria."
FrodosPet http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5566788
Bernie stands with the President on this "Enormously complicated issue".. as he calls it. He disagrees with staying out of ISIS like some around are clamoring on about.
As he stated it's an "International effort" and guess what.. "they have to put money in it too."
Senator Sanders also said Assad Gassed his own people.. whether the conspiracy theorists around here believe it or not..
Hartman and he talked about one republiCon saying.. they'll "blast him if it doesn't work and ask why he didn't do it sooner if it does." Sounds like a familiar whine.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she supports President Obama's decision to authorize airstrikes in Iraq
BOSTON Warning against a new U.S. war in Iraq, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Friday stood by President Barack Obamas decision to authorize targeted airstrikes to help defend Americans in Erbil, Iraq, and provide aid to a religious minority taking refuge in the Sinjar mountains.
Its a complicated situation right now in Iraq and the president has taken very targeted actions to provide humanitarian relief that the Iraqi government requested, and to protect American citizens, Warren told reporters. But like the president I believe that any solution in Iraq is going to be a negotiated solution, not a military solution. We do not want to be pulled into another war in Iraq.
Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said she supports president Barack Obama's decision to authorize new airstrikes in Iraq but cautioned against U.S. involvement in a new war in the Middle East.

Federal Government Sues Companies Over Anti-Transgender Discrimination Claims
An historic first from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
snip//
WASHINGTON The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed lawsuits Thursday against two companies accused of discriminating against transgender employees, the first time the federal government has brought suit under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to protect transgender workers.
The two complaints, filed in federal courts in Florida and Michigan, are the latest and most ambitious steps in a series of aggressive moves taken by the commission in the past several years to advance LGBT rights under existing laws

Eric Holder will leave as soon as Obama's choice to replace him is approved by the U.S. Senate.
In other words, he's not going anywhere.
