Why did Obama drop the work requirement to receive Welfare?

So all the work the Republcans did to reform welfare has now been wasted. Obama signed an executive order to eliminate the requirement that welfare recipients actually have to look for work. After Clinton eventually signed the law (on the third try, because he wanted to get reelected) it reduced the welfare recipients by half. Is there any doubt Obama is trying to get as many people as possible in public aid? These people are guaranteed Obama voters

    Actually it was Clinton that derived the bill of 'welfare to work' and republicans liked the idea.

    This is a waiver - a test if you will, for each state to do as it sees fit on how to handle the situation of welfare to work programs.

    "States will not be able to escape the work requirements of the landmark 1996 federal welfare reform law, the administration said, but they may get federal approval to try to accomplish the same goals by using different methods than those spelled out in the legislation."

    Read a little deeper before you spew your poor knowledge of the subject to the public. Just one of the things you obviously ignored is the fact that of the 5 states that requested the change in procedures, which Obama ok'd, 2 of the states have Republican governors.

    Oh, I guess those two must be RINO's and don't count.

    I guess nobody told you we've been in a recession since that Republican, what was his name? was president. What's the point of a work requirement when there are no jobs?
