Is the Obama Phone Real?
Posted on December 2, 2011 by admin
ReplyThe 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.

At present, free cellphone with 250 free minutes is provided to financially disabled people. It has been included during Bush’s administration. Several telecom companies have been approved to provide cellphones to the qualified people living in the United States and within US territory. This service is not for everyone. You need to fulfill certain requirements to avail this facility provided by the government. These requirements are almost same in all the states as it has been set by the government.

Currently, the government is thinking of providing free wireless internet service to the people under this program instead of old-fashioned land phones. It’ll be a great effort if government includes this service in Lifeline program.

  • Regardless of who started the program, the fact that Obama's supporters are so dumb as to make a free telephone the basis of their vote speaks for itself

    • @seanwoody716
      I go to a lot of city offices where they collect old cell phones for recycling or something. I wonder if they get refurbished and given away free?

    • @Airedale They get broken down for the silver, gold and, platinum in them and those things are used to make new phones and other electronics.

      they are told to vote for the letter (D)
      It is an outrage that party affiliation is so important on the ballot. Truely, the two party system would collapse if people actually had to do the deciding on their own

      Funny how that works. If it benefits them then they praise Obama and he takes credit for it even if Bush started it,but if it doesn't benifit them then they blame Bush.

    • @gonehuntin even more funny is how the repubs try to lay blame on the Dems for something the rebubs did and then posted on the internet only to be made a fool of

    • @gonehuntin
      Funny how that does work.

      But seriously, it does work like this. If Obama can't fix the debt in 4 years, it is his fault. If Obama sees that Bin Laden and the others are killed, it is Bush's credit.

  • It's funny that you post this because the people you reach aren't the owners of the Obamaphones. It's clearly the holders of the Obamaphones that think they are Obamaphones. Go try and tell them that Obama didn't give them a phone, pay their gas and mortgage and all the rest of the handouts.
    They believe as long as Obama is in office they can continue to get all the free handouts available.
    Back in the day it used to shameful to to get any kind of handout from the government. Now it's a way of More..

      That was the point I was making to the poster of the "Obama-phone" crap.

      The law Clinton signed was 103 pages long. It's purpose?

      "The Act was an unusually important legislative enactment. As stated on the first of its 103 pages, its primary purpose was to reduce regulation and encourage 'the rapid deployment of new telecommunications technologies.' The major components of the statute have nothing to do with the Internet; they were designed to promote comp More..

      I, OTOH, am a responsible, sustaining individual who doesn't engage in dangerous or self-destructive lifestyle activities, so of course I must pay through the nose for life's luxuries.

    • @RugOutFromUnderYou Honestly, I hate being limited by my disability. I mean, seriously - I get a check disability check for $698 a month and I'm expected to live off that! BUT, it's better than nothing, because without it, I'd be committing crime or something in order to survive! It sucks, but it is what it is!! ...Before my crash, I was making right at 6 digits a year in the entertainment business.. now, I'm 1 check away from absolute poverty! IT SUCKS!!!

  • As with food stamps, disability benefits, lunch food programs, and other welfare programs, all these programs started with the best of intentions of helping the few at the bottom that needed help the most, but has been used during Obama's term as a free handout to anyone that applies that can minimally justify their need without proof.

    It's been a Obama-bucks, Obama-phones, EBT party since 2008.

  • one million Ohioans on Obamaphones.

    what's fucked up is if your not already on an entitlement program you can't qualify unless your income is below the poverty line.

    why is it again working tax paying Americans are putting up with being fleeced by Obama and his mass army of illiterate, uneducated, urban poor slaves?

    this transcends race, this has gone way too far.
