I received this from a freind......................
I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his “Obama phone.”
I asked him what an “Obama phone” was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month.
I was a little skeptical so I Googled it and low and behold he was telling the truth. TAX PAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS FOR FREE CELL PHONES.
This program was started earlier this year. Enough is enough, the ship is sinking and it’s sinking fast.
The very foundations that this country was built on are being shaken. The age old concepts of God, family, and hard work have flown out the window and are being replaced with “Hope and Change” and “Change we can believe in.” You can click on the link below to read more about the “Obama phone”…just have a barf bag ready.

My mom got one of those because she's a senior. I thought that's who they were for when I first heard about it. I think my income is low enough to get one too but I didn't. I'm not taking any handouts from The Annointed One.

I suppose it makes sense for old folks under medicare "I've fallen and I can't get up", but honesly, is this even remotely necessary? If it is, mightn't a life alert be cheaper and less prone to abuse? I remember voting for an opportunity to buy into the federal employee health plan, with prices adjusted to income so everyone could afford to buy health insurance even if their employer didn't offer it. This would have cost money, yes, but would have probably paid for it self by lifting the health care costs from small business and keeping the uninsured from using the ER as their primary care giver. Yet no, that is not what is on offer. Freaking cell phones? Where was this in the brochure? Honestly, I am too old and too well educated to trust politicians, still a good idea, letting me buy the health care congress has on my own dime, gets transformed into this crap. WTF?
FQ13 who has had it with the Dems, the GOP and the Libertarians, they are all useless >:(

all you need is a cell phone to dail 911. it does not have to be on a service, just has to be able to get a signal.

They are probably intended for job hunting, or keeping in touch with the welfare office.
