Rep. Luis Gutierrez talks about the Food Stamp President--SNAP!

This is a wonderful, factual rebuttal to former Speaker Gingrich's lazy dog-whistle about the so-called "Food Stamp President".  It  turns out, Obama is not the only president to care whether Americans were going hungry. No President should be "satisfied" with the idea of people going hungry in this country. Not all SNAP recipients (children and the elderly) can look for paychecks to sort out their needs. I think it's a pity that the GOP candidate choses to use poor people and their basic need to eat as a political statement in favor of callousness, and am glad that we have a history in this country of trying to meet the basic needs of our citizens--that is nothing to be ashamed of.
