The pic on that page has been changed since yesterday. It had what looked like an 0bama campaign website with a pic of 0bama, his logo and all the other trappings.
This is what the page looked like just this morning!

It didn’t take long for the video of a screeching Mitt Romney protester (and 47-percenter poster star) in Ohio to go viral and for #ObamaPhone to trend on Twitter. The Obama campaign noticed it too, and you’d think they’d be quick to thank such a passionate supporter for her boots-on-the-ground help, but instead the campaign’s “Truth Team” has wasted no time disconnecting.

It's interesting that Team Obama felt the need to "correct" the #ObamaPhone stuff. A confident campaign would have brushed it off.

But why? The woman said she’s voting Obama because the president gave her a free phone. Who’s to say he didn’t?
Obama’s Truth Team quickly tweeted out a link to FactCheck.org, which concludes that “Obama Phone” is a complete misnomer. FactCheck even manages to “blame Bush” for the program, noting that the SafeLink program, which provides free cell phones to qualifying applicants who receive food stamps, Medicaid or other federal benefits, “started under President George Bush.”
So, that free cell phone? Obama didn’t buy that. Mr. President, why don’t you want the poor to have cell phones?

@CuffyMeh I love that the Obama "Truth Team" has to explain his supporters are morons for thinking he gave them free phones.

Sunny@sunnyright
The Obama campaign "Truth Team" is now forced to scold Obama supporters for thinking he's giving them free s**t. Awesome. #ObamaPhone

I only saw a picture of a person that was related to the article - colored me surprised that that was a woman!

I have seen the Obama phone web site a while back. Not sure if its still there.
They actually claim on the site that the phones are not paid for by tax payers (the small print justified this false statement by the hand waving argument that the tax is paid by telecommunication companies and so is not a tax on people).
Yes, that is the claim that telecom companies pay for it and that they are prohibited by law to pass that cost to customers. Isn’t that a laugh?
This change since this morning! Like you said when I went there just this morning it had Obama’s picture logo and the whole works! Damn can someone find a archive of the original page?
It was made up to look like an official campaign site wasn’t it? I hammered those liberal lying @#$%suckers bigtime on the Youtube video until the comments were disabled and they all disappeared.
Beautimus! That’s it.
Does it mean that I can no longer get a free Obamafone wif mah foo stams?
Once something hits the web you can scrub all you like but it never goes away completely!
Good find. I was going to go look but you’re too fast for me.
Exactly lol!!!!
That's the funniest thing I've read all week. In the midst of these dark times, I'll just appreciate the laugh.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
But they are working to scrub it. I’ve already seen some disappear from searches.
Today USF is an $8 billion annual program, nearly quadrupling in size since its inception, with the bulk of that increase going to landline and wireless phone companies.
Maybe this massive growth would be no concern if USF were a model program with a sterling reputation for efficiency. But it’s not. One recent study found that 59 cents of every USF dollar raised for rural networks was spent on administrative expenses and general overhead. A 2010 audit of the rural USF program found that one out of every four dollars sent to participating phone companies was an “overpayment,” with nearly a billion dollars unaccounted for.
Libs just cannot stand the light of day. Cockroaches!
I don’t quite know how that works but doesn’t it take a few days for a deleted/changed webpage to show up on Wayback?
