Fact Checks (3)

"47 million now on food stamps"

Mostly True

SNAP enrollment reached approximately 46.7 million in June 2012, making the 47 million figure roughly accurate.

"32 million on food stamps when Obama took office"

Mostly True

SNAP enrollment was approximately 28-32 million in January 2009. The exact figure depends on the month used; by some measures it was closer to 28 million at inauguration.

"He's added 15 million people"

Half True

The increase is approximately correct numerically, but the framing implies presidential causation when the primary driver was the 2008 Great Recession and its aftermath, which began before Obama took office.
