nextgenman09 - you are contributing nothing while tripping over your own ignorance again. I would have encouraged your abortion even though I don't like paying for those either. Can you do more than call other people names? Ever had an original thought?

Love the "blame the victims" post regarding the cost of the womens nails. You people sure know a lot about pedicure cost, but I guess a lot of cross dressers do.

If the bleeding hearts pay for the food (and everything else) for these kids it will free up more time for the "moms" and their boyfriends to have more kids they cannot afford. You get what you pay for.

Thus spake yet another nutball. Maybe you could encourage more abortions.

Both of these women have nail tips that cost $35 a pop....and $15 periodically to have them re-filled...not to mention the micro-braids which can't be done yourself and isn't cheap....

Hollywood couldn't have produced a better documentary, except maybe they would have had the sense to scrap the fancy

If Obama and his family were not playing around in Paris this weekend on our money for nothing, he could have fed some of these kids.

Not even to mention the SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR dinner and theatre ENTERTAINMENT, Barry and MicHELLe treated themselves to last week with taxpayer dollars!

Not even to mention that this whole dinner and entertainment trip was so MicHELLe could have a photo-op session in a threater, after she had Barry throw $50 MILLION of taxpayer dollars at the Endowment for the Arts. It's pretty pitiful that the rich elite who are the only ones who can afford the Endowment for the Arts KRAP in NYC can't seem to drag up a dollar for their own entertainment and the working stiffs are made to pay for it.

I have to agree with both of these. for the money they spend on nails I can get 2 gallons of milk, a couple loaves of bread and some sandwich meat. Lunch for 2 weeks for my son. And those braids. I asked one of my friends and she said the cost of the fake hair is 200 dollars alone and then you have to pay to have them put in. It usually runs her about 300 dollars to do and they only last about a month before they need replace. Heck that is more than half of my rent and more than my car payment.

And I do believe that the things that our money can be spent on for the white house staff should be limited. Instead of big fancy chefs. Michelle can do the "real" wife and mother way and cook it herself. Shouldn't be a problem.

And aren't we all supposed to be Christians, try to be more Christ-like, and exercise some compassion????

HAIL OBAMA????

Ya talking about the compassion Christ showed the money changers in the temple when he kicked over their tables and used a whip?-Or the time he called the religious leaders a generation of serpents and vipers?-Or when he suggest that it was better that a man have a mill stone tied around his neck and tossed in the sea rather than causing one of his innocents to stumble?

Either that or you are doing an incredible job of plagiarizing.

My children have enough to eat and if they didn't, they could get breakfast and lunch at school. Do these parents have a cell phone, cable, internet, home phone service? Get rid of the luxuries. When I was a single mom after being widowed, life was tough. I got rid of the luxuries and cooked from scratch. My children ate well and we sacrificed. They also learned what it was to work for something. You want to go to the park? You need to clean up, do dishes, take out trash and then we can walk there. They are upstanding adults today because of it.

There is no reason a child should go hungry in this country.

It is true that birth control is the cure for poverty. I have never understood why women produce children that they cannot care for, especially after they themselves grew up in the same horrible conditions that they are now making their children live in. Birth control is free to anyone & should be madatory for all having welfare babies. If all the rich businesses called "churches" were doing the job that "Jesus" expects them to do then there would be no hunger or crime or living in the streets. They should be using all the billions of dollars they rake in to care for & educate the needy instead of spending it on malls, baseball teams & lining their pockets.

Don't have children if you can't afford them and if you do don't expect everyone else to help take care of your kids.

No body wants to see children hungary but as others have pointed out there are plenty of places to get assistance..

If only those mothers would have aborted those little loser kids, eh?
