To: a fool in paradise
I found that part where they blame Clinton, Bush and Wilson.

Is the Obama Phone Real?


"The State and Federal government has a program that provides free cellphones and free talk time to people with low income as well as senior citizens. This subsidized program is called Lifeline phones assistance program. But Obama hasn’t initiated it; it started few decades back and got its current format after going through several changes within this time. Safelink Wireless, the largest cellphone provider of the Lifeline program and a subsidiary of Tracfone, was created under the administration of George William Bush which received grants from a company that was launched during the Bill Clinton’s time and it was done because of an act passed by President Franklin Roosevelt which in turn was influenced because of an agreement between President Woodrow Wilson’s administration and some telecom service providers. So you can realize that this free cellphone service has a pretty long history and the claim about the Obama phone is nothing but a false rumor."

Who wrote this crap?

What did Bush actually do? All I kind find is that cell phones were added to the program in 2008 when Obama was in office.

It’s paid for by the Al Gore internet tax on your phone service. Have to laugh when they claim it was a fee billed to the phone companies and then PASSED ON to consumers.
