Obama's Stash has Dried Up

Barack Obama, the world’s messiah, wants to cut heating aid to the poor. Remember the woman who said she didn’t have to worry about paying for her gas , or mortgage because the anointed one was going to take care of her? I would like to ask her how that hope and change is working out. It looks like the free ride is over:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama wants to cut $2.5 billion from a $5 billion home heating aid program for the poor, two people familiar with his 2012 budget proposal said Wednesday, halving the popular fund as he looks for places to rein in federal spending.

The proposal would cut the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program to its 2008 level of about $2.5 billion
.
Senator John Kerry, a man who has made a living leeching off of others (taxpayers, and rich widows), is apoplectic about the cuts to this fund:

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., urged Obama not to cut the funding. He said more than 3 million families would lose assistance.

"I've always supported serious efforts to restore fiscal sanity, but in the middle of a brutal, even historic, New England winter, home heating assistance is more critical than ever to the health and welfare of millions of Americans, especially senior citizens," Kerry said.

Senator Kerry, why don’t you and your rich, liberal buddies organize a fund to help these poor people pay their bills? I guess that would be too much to ask a multi-billionaire. Maybe you can contact your comrade in Venezuela to help. He was always more than willing to throw his expropriated petro dollars to Northeasterners. Or contact Al Gore and he will tell them this historical winter is just a figment of their imagination. The world is really warming up.

You have to love the socialist and their fairy dust dreams; dreams that are as real as Obama’s stash.
