Rhetoric is Rabid to the Max: Drudge "Report" blames Obama for 2004 Food Stamp Policy (Bush 43 USDA Secretary Ann Veneman)

from Obama Food-o-rama (Posted July 19, 2012) -- a Google Blogger popular site on W W Web:

Drudge Report ran this headline [ "US Partners with Mexico to Boost Food Stamp Rolls" ] for much of Thursday, reiterating the GOP election-year meme of President Obama as 'The Food Stamp President.' But the story the headline links to explains that the policy was created in 2004.


"USDA has an agreement with Mexico to promote American food assistance programs, including food stamps, among Mexican Americans, Mexican nationals and migrant communities in America," wrote The Daily Caller. "The partnership...was signed by former USDA Secretary Ann M. Veneman and Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs Luis Ernesto Derbez Bautista in 2004."
