Schlafly: Obama Pushing For More Welfare Moms

Schlafly: Obama Pushing For More Welfare Moms

In case you missed it yesterday, long-time conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly is telling supporters that President Obama is trying to find more single moms to put on welfare since once “you kick your husband out, you’ve got to have big brother government to be your provider.”

Dems, eager for an issue, are calling on Republicans who’ve taken Schlafly’s money, to renounce her.

My thought: What kind of vitamins is Schlafly taking? And can I have some.
