And yes, the Obama administration is responsible for the USDA, who are running the ads. Obama appointed former Iowa governor Tom Vilsack (a Monsanto shill) as the head of the USDA. Food Czar (a fitting name).
Well then your anger should be directed at Tom Vilsack. The president has much broader matters to worry about at the national and global scale than some tv ad run by the department of agriculture. You and other Rush Limbaugh types already hated Obama, so you want to make this commercial stick to him so you can continue this mythology that he's this big welfare spender that doesn't want people to work.
And once again, that commercial was in VERY poor taste, although using public assistance if you are out of work through no fault of your own is nothing to be ashamed of given that you have paid into the system yourself when you were employed. And it's not only democrats either. I clearly remember Schwartzenegger during a gubernatorial debate saying that he wants to launch campaigns making the parents of poor children aware of the government assistance programs for them. This included of course people in the country illegally. And he's Republican.
