If I start to support Obama?
Can I expect a welfare check and bigger free handouts. Or does the fact that I am a veteran, went to college and payed for it myself, never got more then a parking ticket that I payed for in the last 10 years, I am not a drug addict, and I never have been on welfare make me not qualified for all the free handouts he is supposed to give out. Or does all that mean that I am going to have to pay for all those here illegally and on welfare?

Yep. Even people who don't need it get welfare and food stamps. My fiance's sad excuse for a human scum sister quit her job so she could sit at home and watch tv. It pisses me off knowing I work over 40 hours a week to keep her fed, clothed, and living with a roof over her head.

You have way to many things against you already to qualify for all the free handouts. You are destine to pay for all the others who sit at home with their blinders on and their hands out.
Sorry

MYTH: The nation spends billions of dollars on welfare for undocumented immigrants.
FACTS: To the contrary, undocumented immigrants are not eligible to receive any "welfare" benefits and even legal immigrants are severely restricted in the benefits they can receive.
As the Congressional Research Service points out in a 2007 report, undocumented immigrants, who comprise nearly one-third of all immigrants in the country, are not eligible to receive public "welfare" benefits -- ever.
Legal permanent residents (LPRs) must pay into the Social Security and Medicare systems for approximately 10 years
before they are eligible to receive benefits when they retire. In most cases, LPRs can not receive SSI, which is available only to U.S. citizens, and are not eligible for means-tested public benefits until 5 years after receiving their green cards.
A 2007 analysis of welfare data by researchers at the Urban Institute reveals that less than 1 percent of households headed by undocumented immigrants receive cash assistance for needy families, compared to 5 percent of households headed by native-born U.S. citizens.
A 2007 analysis of U.S. Census data by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities makes clear that it is the U.S.-born, U.S.-citizen children of undocumented immigrants who are eligible for programs such as Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program
(SCHIP). The analysis found that, between 1995 and 2005, the share of low-income, non- citizen immigrant children (either undocumented or legally present) who received Medicaid or SCHIP dropped from 36 percent to 30 percent.
Learn the facts before you just continue sounding like a douchebag. I have nearly $125,000 in student debt, but you don't hear me complaining. I'm glad I voted Obama. Greater Good > Me.

No. Welfare checks and other free handouts are for those that need it. Just supporting Obama does not entitle you to any of that.
I support Obama, but I'm not entitled to any of that either. Unlike conservatives, I'm interested in what's best for my country, not what's best for me. That's why I support Obama; I got tired of seeing my country destroyed by conservative greed and self-interest.

I can't speak for the Democratic National Party but I think you may start to support President Obama based only on an intellectual judgment of the President's job so far and the likelihood of his performance in the future. I think you'll be welcome.
