Obama Admits That Fox News Stories About Obamaphones ‘Make Me Mad’
Breitbart ^ | 5/12/15 | Charlie Spiering

During a panel discussion about poverty, President Obama criticized Fox News for stereotyping poor people as “sponges” or “leeches.” Part of the problem, he explained, was that so many people think that the poor are underserving of help from the federal government, causing wealthy people to actually be angry at the poor. “I think the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges and leeches are don’t want to work, are lazy or are undeserving got traction,” Obama said.

The main cause of poverty is children.

Followed closely by stupidity, laziness and ignorance.

Sloth is a Biblical concept that far predates Fox News.

OBAMA PHONE YouTube...

This is a very funny version of it as a rap song:

Download and save before it disappears!

Whoever did this rap mix had to be a pro in the business. It’s done to perfection. Check out the animation of Obama queerly dancing to it at the end.

Yeah, all these people are hard workers, deserving of taxpayer funded free phones, and carry their fair share of the load.

Obama, they might not would need these freebies if they had jobs. Fewer people working since you went into office. You make me mad so put a sock in it.

“I think the effort to suggest that the poor are sponges and leeches are don’t want to work, are lazy or are undeserving got traction,” Obama said.

As Chip Carter told Mike Reagan when welcoming him to the White House after his Father was elected, “The Secret Service has the BEST DRUGS I have ever had in my life”. Seems like nothing has changed.

My own eyes tell me that two-thirds of the people in the supermarket check out line who use EBT cards are buying food I can't afford and the biggest share of those are driving away in vehicles I can't afford either.

I don't begrudge people needing temporary assistance, but there is a much larger share of them who know how to game the system to the max.

Obamaphones! Federal subsidies for phones?!

Here we go again

Dang it...

I would think with I could see Obamaphones in the Constitution, but for some reason I can’t find it.

Once again, this shows that I have an older version of the Constitution.

Mine doesn’t list salad bars, raisin control, ketchup speed control, smelly body products, phone handouts, and others as one of the specific authorities given to the federal government.

Can someone point me to where I can download a latest version of the Constitution?

One that specifically authorizes (enumerates) federal government authority over such things as:
- the amount of water in my toilet bowl
- the type of light bulbs I use
- Obamaphone handouts
- body stench removal products
- how fast ketchup should flow out of the bottle
- delicious nutritious kids salad bar
- and also raisin control.

The “Obama Phone Lady” was at an SEIU protest of a Romney speech in Cleveland, Ohio in Sept 2012.

You can see their printed signs behind her.

I guess you can’t expect Obama to ask his SEIU allies to screen their protesters better.

I suspect that 99.9% of the rioters, looters and arsonist involved in Ferguson and Baltimore had an Obamaphone. This is how they organize and carry on their lawlessness. Drug dealers have them, hookers and pimps have them, and it probably doesn’t take an illegal very long to obtain one either. All at the expense of those of us that have phones and pay our bills.

This matter of obamaphones is waste run wild. A postmaster near where I live said that is was customary for his mail carriers to deliver 4 to 6 phones to the same address frequently.

Another example of congress abdicating their responsibility to another group of nameless faceless parasites.
