We are so lucky to have Bush as our president

Please note that the above statement is drenched in sarcasm.

It seems that Bush's pro-marriage bill is headed for approval in Congress despite opposition from both the political left and right. It seems that there has been a debate for the last year and half as Congress works to renew its landmark 1996 welfare overhaul. The renewal gives lawmakers and the White House an opportunity to make changes in the program and Bush has made promoting marriage one of the centerpieces of his plan. The House has already passed its welfare legislation, which includes the marriage initiative. They are just waiting on Congress to pass it.

Bush says, "Many are learning that it is more rewarding to be a responsible citizen than a welfare client. It is better to be a breadwinner, respected by your family." He says, "Work is the pathway to independence and self-respect."

Damn Bush, you are so intelligent. Did you come up with that on your own? I bet all the people on welfare choose to be on welfare. They must think to themselves, I would rather be on welfare, living in poverty, working my ass off, and raising children all on my own instead of being a responsible citizen. It must be a great idea to promote low income couples to get married, that sounds like the solution to our welfare problem. Of course, all is solved when there is a mom and dad united in the bonds of marriage and baby john and baby sue. Making a family does not solve many problems especially when domestic violence is so rampant among low income couples. The choice for many single moms on welfare is between getting abused everyday or being on welfare. That is some choice. Anyway, I cant believe that half of America voted this guy into office. Well, just something for you all to chew on. Any opinions?
