Huh?
Giving poor black people free phones under Bush? Fine.
Giving poor black people free phones under Obama? BIG DEAL!!!!
Whats the difference?
Did I say there was a difference?
Yeah. You said "it is such a big deal BECAUSE HE....". You implied a difference. That it is a big deal (now) "beacause he is...." fill in the description. It wasn't a big deal in 2005, when Bush expanded it. Or 85 when Reagan founded it.
For 27 fucking years we never heard people bitch about this. But NOW.....now that we have a video of some dumbass black chick praising her Obamaphone, and we cant get anything else to stick to the Prez, now its a big deal.
Yep, started by a dem congress when Reagan was in office, expanded when Nazi Palousey inserted it in a defense bill when Bush was in office. The same commiecrats that lied to Reagan about securing our boarders, the same commiecrats that lied and are still lying about Bush and the same commiecrats that are lying their asses off about spending cuts now. So for a change let's be honest and give credit where credit is due.

Nice try.
It's always those Dems spending money, even when the GOP controls everything. Yeah, right.
A bill to kill the cell phone program was introduced in the Republican-controlled House. It was referred to the Republican-chaired, Republican-controlled (31 GOP, 23 Dem) House Committee on Energy and Commerce where it was promptly murdered.
At the very same time, faux outrage over "ObamaPhones" was being spread far and wide.
What a bunch of rubes!

Of course they wouldnt kill it. They can campaign for 4 years on "Obamaphones" if they keep it alive!!!!
And of course, between watching Fox News and wiping tobacco spit off the couch with their NASCAR flag, the right wingers will buy every single bit of it.

But.....Bush also took it over and enlarged it in 2005.
I dont think Obama enlarged it, as much as he just made people aware of it. Saying "Hey, all you poor people, who need a job, if you dont have a phone, you aint getting a job".
Now, should the govt have to do that? No. But thats where we are. Hey, sometimes football coaches have to cover basic tackling 101 in the NFL. Shouldnt have to, but sometimes thats just where you are.
So, they are made aware, told "heres your phone, now go get a job".
Anyway....if you hate this program, blame Reagan. He started it.

The program was expanded by Bush in 2005.
Kinda hard to blame Democrats for what happened in 2005, when they didnt win the House and Senate until 2006 dumbass.
If you wanna blame Dems for something they did in 2005, how bout blame the GOP Prez, House, Senate in 2005 that either:
A) Were too dumb to see them slip it in there.
B) Saw it, and were perfectly fine with it.
This is inconvenient, I know, as that "Obamaphone" clip was very useful for the talking points.
But LifeLine is a program that a GOP President allowed to be created, and a GOP President allowed to be expanded.
You cant blame Obama for every single thing that happens on his watch, but then excuse something under Reagan and Bush's watched just because, well, because you dont wanna blame them for it.
Bucs90, paint chips are a great dessert, especially the one from the 1970's -- that's like vintage!
Bucs90, paint chips are a great dessert, especially the one from the 1970's -- that's like vintage!
Sure are.
But can YOU explain why:
- LifeLine was started by Reagan
- LifeLine was expanded by Bush
- LifeLine was taken over by Obama, and the only changes under him are that they began regulating abuse and limited it to 1 phone her household rather than numerous
Yet.....the right wing is calling it "Obamaphones" and replaying clips of that black lady whining about her Obamaphone over and over and over and over, and blaming Obama for this program???
Explain the above.

Read more of the article:
IN FACT...the ONLY changes done to the LifeLine program (started by Reagan, expanded by Bush) under Obama is:
- Efforts to reduce abuse of the program were started under Obama
- LIMITS of 1 free phone per household were put in place under Obama
So...this welfare phone program, started by Reagan, expanded by Bush, has ONLY been more regulated under Obama!!!!!!!!
But, the only coverage the right makes is the black woman crying about her "Obamaphone" and blaming Obama for this program...when in fact, this program was founded by Reagan, expanded by Bush...and only more regulated by Obama to reduce abuse.
This would be comical if not true.

Jesus Christ. The obamaphone lady said all that shit because she is an uneducated moron. People make fun of it because he is the welfare king! Does not mean they all think he started it. I know its history and still make fun of it. Loosen up and enjoy humor. If you was not so much of a hack, you might find it humerous. Like I said earlier, if they dont know the biz about it, they are morons like the black chick
So all the right wing talk shows keep playing the clip of the disgusting fat bitch talking about "Got my Obama phone". Of course, its the perfect image. A black, poor, female boasting about her "Obamaphone" she got for free.
Well, it was given to her under the federal program LifeLine. Each phone has 250 free minutes per month. This story is being covered locally on The Post and Courier | Charleston SC, News, Sports, Entertainment, where the Obamaphones were handed out yesterday in the ghetto side of town out of a minivan only for the poor.
And the right wingers have gone ballistic of course. Obama phones, on their tax dime. Not only was Benghazi bad enough (YES BENGHAZI BENGHAZI NEVER GIVE IT UP!!), but now he is giving out Obamaphones to all the poor.
The only problem with that talking point? Project LifeLine was founded by the Feds in 1985, as a subsidy for landlines, under President Reagan. It was expanded in 2005, under George W Bush, to cell phones, aka, "Obamaphones".
OOOOPS!!! Facts suck dont they!

Obama did not invent food stamps, or many of the other "programs" associated with the social safety net. However under his presidency the use of many of these has exploded exponentially. Insert your blame it on Bush comment here.
