James O’Keefe targets ‘Obamaphones’ in latest undercover investigation
Washington Examiner ^ | 6/18/2013 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 06/18/2013 3:43:50 AM PDT by markomalley

James O’Keefe is back – this time targeting cell phone stores participating in the government program to offer free phones to low income individuals – or ‘Obamaphones.’

O’Keefe’s latest video features his investigators getting free phones from a store in Philadelphia, explicitly telling the employees that they planned to sell them for cash to buy designer hand bags or heroin.

One employee responds, “Hey, I don’t judge.”

Another responds, “Just keep it to yourself.”

Another employee reminds an investigator that it’s illegal to sell the phone, but tells her to “plead the Fifth” if she is caught.

Now that phones will get messages directly from the President, these phones will be even more useful during the mid-term election!

We need state attorneys general to be challenging Washington at every turn like that.

Very impressive young man. Breitbart taught him well, and I hope he is a thorn in the asses of the socialist for the the 60 years.

One of my fourth graders this year had an 0bama phone that I took away from him, as he had been playing with it in class. I and another teacher looked through the text messages to see who he had been texting and found updates sent to the phone such as “Don’t forget to register to vote” sent from 0rganizing for America.

As a triage interviewer at a local food/clothing bank, I can tell you that the nobamaphone program, like most government teat programs, is rife with corruption and dishonesty. Mostly I see several household members having nobamaphones. The rule is one phone per household.
