So how messed up is this little food stamp image. It was thought up by some republican genius, probably the same person who thought up the Obama pancakes--looking a bit aunt Jemima-ish. Anyway I would like to stay that this representation is inaccurate at the moment since people no longer get food stamps, we've moved into the age of technological innovations so now there are EBT cards that they put the food stamps on. I miss the days when you would have the book of food stamps and your mom would send you to the store. In retrospect what was a source of humiliation really didn't matter b/c the boy laughing at you just spent his mom's last food stamp on penny candy. If my memory is any good, the brown food stamps were 1 dollar, the blue was 5 dollars, green 10 dollars. I can't remember any more.
My final comment about the Obama buck is, at least was red and not purple kool-aid. Keep it real you it's the color and not the flavor that's important.
