Cell Phones for the Needy
unknown

Posted on 10/24/2009 7:00:25 AM PDT by ladyL

I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his “Obama phone.” I asked him what an “Obama phone” was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month. I was a little skeptical so I Googled it and low and behold he was telling the truth. TAX PAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS FOR FREE CELL PHONES. This program was started earlier this year. Enough is enough, the ship is sinking and it’s sinking fast. The very foundations that this country was built on are being shaken. The age old concepts of God, family, and hard work have flown out the window and are being replaced with “Hope and Change” and “Change we can believe in.” You can click on the link below to read more about the “Obama phone”…just have a barf bag ready.

Kills them faster. Pop over to Drudge and catch his newest banner headline. In fact, maybe I’ll write up a thread.

I’m sure we’ll discover a lot of new “surprises” as we hum along with the BO administration. No wonder ABC stores are seeing record sales.

Welcome to socialism. Some of us get it for free and some of us have to work for it. I grew up with this and know how evil it is.

I think headsets for the drunken homeless is a better idea. Then they can talk to themselves without looking foolish.

Obama Phones, Obama Money- who says you can’t buy a presidential election?

I can see it now- billions of ACORN dollars spent canvassing the neighborhoods... telling them they better get out and vote if they want the Obama Goodies to keep coming

That’s an excellent point.
You can bet your booty that ACORN will have the records on every one of those phones to call right before election day and motivate the Baraqqi coalition to go vote.

Bingo!! That has always been the plan with ACORN and the huge amount of tax dollars, and probably Soros dollars going their way. There should be no doubt what the libs have put in our White House.....

What’s next?

Owners of these go on a list. That’s what’s next.

Then they’re called and instructed how to vote. Where to turn up to carry a sign.

No stoner left unturned.

Big fat welfare momma down the road has a big screen TV, a new ATV for the commie brat kid, a new back porch and a garbage can filled with empty beer cans. Oh, did I mention my property taxes pays her rent?

The Lifeline program is not funded from federal taxpayer dollars, but rather from contributions to the USF by telecommunications carriers collected in part from the Universal Service Charge billed to cell phone users.

At the grocery, Hubby got in line behind a girl we’ve known for about ten years.

Long story short: Early-30s, two kids by two different men, never in her life held a job although perfectly healthy, split up with Baby Daddy #1 and moved in with (soon-to-be) Baby Daddy #2, had the baby, got busted for running a meth lab, briefly went to jail, lost both kids, authorities returned both kids after she got out of jail. On every possible government program and always has been. She’s the definition of “drain on society”.

She was in line at the grocery throwing the biggest hissy fit you’ve ever seen because WIC says she has to use her vouchers to buy whole milk rather than the 2% milk she prefers. >:|
