Maybe the mods can start merging all of these repeat threads together?

Been doing it for three days, Scooter.

Maybe you can tend to your bidness and we'll tend to ours.

It started in '96, under Clinton. Not Obama. Not Bush. Shock!

You people (and by you people, I mean the morons on both sides making this some kind of issue) are all fucking moronic.

Just keeping it honest re Clinton's involvement, Bush's involvement, and Obama's involvement re the free cellphone program:

This FactCheck.org article argues with all of you:

FactCheck.org : The Obama Phone?

The bottom line for Obama is simple; He is in favor of this program. Along with any other program that expands the dependent class. These are reliable votes for Democrats! When you get your housing, food, clothing cell phone and everything else from "redistributed" earnings - you will always vote for the party that gets you more "free shit".

While I don't mind helping the poor get cell Phones, I have a real problem with the Web Site actually being called ObamaPhone. The Man takes tax payer dollars to give people phones, and wants those people to feel like he personally bought them a phone.

They should be called Tax Payer Phones, because that is who is really giving them to them.

Going back to the link I posted a two or three posts back up there, not even the taxpayers are giving it to them. If Obama was honest, he would speak about the program, but give its honest history and purpose and tell the people that the phones are paid for through the generosity of the private sector and not by the Administration.

I never have a problem with anybody helping anybody, so long as the help is voluntary and is honest to goodness help. I have a huge problem with folks taking credit and feeling magnanimous and righteous when the help is via somebody else's money.

The XXXXX board is reacting with glee over this, just like many of the conservative posters on this thread. They're all saying pretty much the same thing, though the Stormfront posters tend to be more direct about it.

No redirecting traffic to other sites...Especially XXXXX.

Hey dumbass, "obamaphone.net" is not a government website. It is a messageboard about free government cell phones! They even say it is not an Obama program. You need a different excuse to rationalize your mindless hate!

What is the Obama Phone?
Posted on December 2, 2011
The term “the Obama Phone” has been all around since the day Barack Obama became the president of the United States of America. Many people think that Obama is giving free cellphones to the poor in order to redistribute the wealth of rich people. Since then two groups are mudslinging at each other.

It’s true that government provides free cellphones to the poor and disabled people. But the Obama part is not true as Obama didn’t initiate this program. It’s on the run since the administration of Reagan. This program has two parts: one is called the ‘Link-Up’ which provided free landline connection to the poor and the other is called the ‘Lifeline’ which provides waiver on telephone bills. These two programs are simply called ‘Lifeline’ when lumped together.

This service is provided by government approved companies. The three major companies are Safelink Wireless, Assurance Wireless and ReachOut Wireless.

Today government provides waivers on landline phone bills for people with low income living inside US territory. This program began during Clinton’s administration and still continuing under Obamas’ administration.

With the increasing use of mobile technologies cost came down. To low income individuals and senior citizens, cellphones were included under Lifeline. At present, government gives free cellphone with 250 minutes of free talk time to those people who are eligible and have signed up for this program. It started back in 2008 when Trafcone started their service under this program at Tennessee. At the same year Obama was elected President but Trafcone began their Safelink service three months before which means the program was discussed and approved by Obama’s predecessor Bush. So now you know that there is nothing called “the Obama Phone”.

Over 8 million people have already signed up for the Lifeline program and up to 35% of Americans are qualified. Click here to see if you are qualified or click here to find out how to get a free cell phone

And that is it in a nutshell......Whether Obama has claimed the credit or not the program has expanded under his watch, and way too many people believe that it is because of him that they have a cell phone.......
