Kenneth, You really aren't even worth responding to... You are nothing but a pitiful, close-minded, ignorant partisan lemming that has no interest in the truth.

NY Times smeared the same Navy Seals team that recently neutralized Osama as "Cheney's Assasination Squad" during the GW Bush administration.

Double standard Libs - their brains only move in one direction - LEFT, LEFT, LEFT like programmed robots.

Pelosi thanks President Bush for his role in bin Laden's destruction
By Molly K. Hooper - 05/03/11 05:08 PM ET

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) said she called former President George W. Bush on Tuesday to congratulate him on the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden.

Following a classified briefing on the operation to take down bin Laden, Pelosi told reporters that she called the former president earlier in the day to "congratulate him and thank him for the leadership role he had played in this quest over the years."

Pelosi was Speaker of the House for two years while Bush was in the White House.

Pelosi said she thought Bush appreciated the call.

“I wanted him to know the appreciation that many of us have in a bipartisan way ... that his role was important," she said.

The ADP National Employment Report said Wednesday that 179,000 new private sector jobs were added in April. That figure was lower than the 195,000 analysts had expected. The ADP report is closely watched because it can provide insights into the government's monthly jobs report for April, which is due out Friday.

Obama's plan to put everyone on food stamps working.

About 1 in 7 in U.S. Receive Food Stamps

Growth in the food stamp program appeared to reach a plateau in February — with 14.3% of the population relying on the safety net program.

Click the image for a map of food stamp use by state.The number of food stamp recipients was essentially flat in February, the most recent month available, with 44.2 million Americans receiving benefits, according a new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. (See a sortable breakdown of the data here.)

The food stamp program ballooned during the recession as workers lost their jobs or saw their hours and income reduced. The rise in recipients has begun to flatten in recent months, which may mean that as the economy is improving fewer Americans are seeking to join the program. Enrollment in the program is still high though, with 11.6% more people tapping benefits in February than the same month a year earlier.

Food stamp numbers aren’t seasonally adjusted though, meaning a variety of factors could influence the monthly tallies and the program could grow again in coming months.

Mississippi and Oregon were among the states with the largest share of the population utilizing food stamps in February: At least one in five residents in each state were receiving benefits.

Wyoming had the lowest rate of recipients with just 6.6% of the state’s residents using food stamps.
