WASHINGTON (AP) - When President Barack Obama increased unemployment benefits as part of his economic stimulus, he also made some Americans ineligible for hundreds of dollars a month in food stamps.
Under the economic recovery plan, laid-off workers have seen a $25 weekly bump in their unemployment checks as part of a broad expansion of benefits for the poor. But the law did not raise the income cap for food stamp eligibility, so the extra money has pushed some people over the limit.

Here is my good ol "tramp stamp"...although I don't know if it really falls into that category since it takes up all of my lower back. But I love my tattoo and wouldn't change it for the world, there is a lot of meaning in it for me, every part of it represents something in my life :) I got it 5 years ago during my freshman year of college, and like squeaky it didn't hurt me, I just wanted to itch my lower back the whole time!
*And sorry for the quality, I will get a better one posted, this was taken with a camera phone a couple years ago*

The Press-Enterprise
The latest newsletter by an Inland Republican women's group depicts Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama surrounded by a watermelon, ribs and a bucket of fried chicken, prompting outrage in political circles.
The October newsletter by the Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated says if Obama is elected his image will appear on food stamps -- instead of dollar bills like other presidents. The statement is followed by an illustration of "Obama Bucks" -- a phony $10 bill featuring Obama's face on a donkey's body, labeled "United States Food Stamps."
