But..but..but.You lie Kate.You're spreading GOP propaganda.CNN,MSNBC,ABC,DNC,etc. say he created 2.9 million jobs.You must be wrong if these beacons of fairness and justness and non-racism,just the facts,Ma'am, reporters say so.
Never mind that 86% were outsourced,and the remaining 14% went to pay CEO's of bankrupt companies,and that 3.6 million went on this wonderful new welfare,EI(for Canucks). That's only a difference of 700,000.Peanuts when you are talking debt of trillions,to get just 2 more green jobs.It's for the kiddies,dontcha know?
Oh.And remember,only He and gubermint can create jobs and businesses.(and by He,I do not mean Jesus)

USA
22%: obese
3%: morbidly obese

Not hard to imagine why so many are disabled.

Cloward Piven anyone?

Gosh, quebecois, you've done it again. You've come up with a totally irrelevant and unproven, ie, false, correlation. Could you provide some evidence that the ratio of obesity in the US is directly linked to the rise in disability applicants and is not related to the unemployment and lack of jobs? Hmm?

Oh, and the obesity rate in Quebec is the same; it's 22% as well. Hmm.

And gosh, in Quebec, the agenda is to get more and more and more 'benefits' from the Canadian taxpayer, isn't it?

And most Quebecers are morbidly stupid.

The difference is that obese Americans are not the ones wearing Speedos on Florida beaches.

Those would be the fashion-conscious Quebecois send-me-your-money snowbirds.

"And most Quebecers are morbidly stupid."

I am not so sure about that but I do suspect that a lot of French reasoning when translated into English comes up looking a bit retarded. Quebecers say the darnedest things.

And the little s*** is an anti-Semite as well.

Hey guys and gals...the NDS has hijacked the thread and you don't even realize it.The topic is America is following Queerbecs steal the money,and whine for more.

I didn't hijack the treat. Racists did.

My comment is totally correct.

Obesity is the #1 health problem in the USA.
Most people who are disabled are because of health issues.

Get used to the collapse because all indications now are for a second Obama term and the end of the free republic.

quebecois - kindly prove that, first, a Quebecois is a 'race'.

Second, kindly prove that your comments, both as an individual, a male, a Quebecois, and whatever else, are beyond and above critical evaluation. Please tell us why we are not allowed, by you, to criticize your comments.

In actual fact, your comment is false and invalid. The theme is the rise of claims for disability in the US. The issue is, what is causing this sudden and massive increase in the past year? You claim it is obesity, yet, offer no evidence that in one year, this problem has caused such an increase in disability claims. Nor do you examine how Quebec functions with the exact same ratio of obese Quebecers.

Therefore, kindly prove that these claims are due to obesity, rather than to the lack of employment and jobs.

Then, fourth, please show that 'most people who are disabled are due to health issues' and that this 'health issue' is obesity.

Finally, stop with the juvenile insults. You are denigrating Quebecers by your unfounded and offensive comments.

Ce sont les tonneaux vides qui font le plus de bruit!

Gee, that quebecois is pretty smart. And it's even smarter to be asking him to prove something.

Suppose that's where fallible reason takes you...

Please note that "The little ..." in my post above refers to Barack Obama, not any of the posters on this page.

As for stupidity - Albertans voted for the Rat Queen, and it looks as though Newfs will vote NDP as soon as they possibly can - despite a good sound Conservative provincial government that has enabled considerable prosperity.

And so what is the #1 health problem in Quebec Quebecois NDP parasiste? Laziness? Dependence? Brain damage? Or all of the above.

My heart goes out to the disabled...

In the US Welfare is provided by the STATE, but disability is provided by feds via SS/Medicare

The State of California has always used disability to fund State workers when the Surf is up...

Why would California have the greatest number of folks on disability if HEALTH was actually the measure?

First attempt at comment didn't work, maybe because of link.

Author Dinesh d'Souza has an Obama documentary film coming out. Big time producer. Readers here would appreciate it, no doubt. Already has been featured on Fox and at CPAC.

google obama 2016 movie.

Obesity came to be Thee #1 issue when the Feds changed the definition of "Obese" three years ago. Heart disease is still the #1 killer.

Statistical distinctions, I know, but that's how I roll.

They roll with the goal of controlling the food supply under the guise of "sustainability", which is just another way of saying "Those truck drivers are OUR truck drivers.". Nothing sinister in that at all, of course.

Glad we're not like that here in Dildo McDinkyland.

From the C. D. Howe Institute

"...the financial state of the Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB) merits a red flag. While the WSIB collects employer premiums to pay for injury and disability benefits for insured workers, over time the premiums charged to employers and returns to investments have not matched growing benefit entitlements."

But don't worry, the WSIB shortfall is only $12.3 billion. Nothing a few more solar panels won't fix.

Obama hasn't just cast the country into an economic depression. He's sent millions into an emotional one. Their spirits have been broken by a lesser man than they.

It's sad, really.

But wait..don't they all get obamacare
