Being a troll, and not a very good one due to apparent genetic deficiencies, you post a link which weakens your effort to blame President Obama.
The "Great Recession" which the article links to the great increase in aid, began in 2007; at the time Bush had been president for six years, and the Republicans had lost the Congress after years in control in January of '07.
So, yes more people maybe receiving aid, but the cause for this effect has nothing to do with President Obama or a Congress under Democratic leadership.
