As part of its 25th anniversary, Housing Now hosted a panel discussion Monday afternoon on “Poverty and Housing Policy.” Democrat strategist Donna Brazile tweeted some of the highlights of the panel discussion, including a quote from Georgetown law professor Peter Edelman, who lamented that America has become a low wage nation.
45 million in poverty today is obscene, including 14 million children. "We have become a low wage nation," said Peter Edelman. #housingnow25

Well, you could blame the guy at the top.
@donnabrazile @sianaranda You can thank Obama

However, that would make you a “hater.”
“@waffle721: @donnabrazile @sianaranda You can thank Obama” You cannot blame the housing crisis on President Obama. Stop the hate.

Thing is, Brazile’s original tweet wasn’t about the housing crisis, but the number of Americans currently living in poverty. In either case, Brazile demands that people “stop the hate” toward Obama — which apparently extends to holding him responsible for the state of the union.
@donnabrazile @sianaranda Not hate.A fact more in poverty now than the start of his term

@donnabrazile @waffle721 @sianaranda So proper criticism is now "hate"in the new Orwellian state Ms Brazile has signed us on to.

@donnabrazile @waffle721 @sianaranda For the record, you can't blame Obama for anything, so don't take it personal.

Is it still hate if we pin the blame for poverty on the Democrats in general?
@donnabrazile I guess that LBJ 'War on Poverty" program didn't work out so well, huh?
