    But remember folks, the Government is in a position where the only cutting that can happen is between "the disabled kid and the poor kid". The poor Government bureaucrats are in such a tough position.

    The fact that entitled, subsidized, welfare ghouls such as Jaquan and Shanika have been selling their Obamaphones, is already well-known.

    All of them use their welfare "salaries" to buy drugs, bling and booze at inner-city mom and pop corner grocery stores.

    Moreover, whenever there's a food drive to "feed the hungry," (Oh, the chirin), they take their donated frozen turkeys and groceries to the corner grocery stores and sell them at much below market price, and use the money to buy more booze and drugs.

    Everybody know it, but they just wink, nod and look the other way. Most of them think it's kind of cute.

    Well no (*)(*)(*)(*), this isn't exactly news.

    If the government gave me a Corvette for free I wouldn't keep it. I don't want something like that I would sell it, buy a used pickup truck, pocket the remaining cash and buy stuff that I want.

    As a matter of fact I want one of these free cell phones. I want to have an extra phone for the house. How do I go about getting one of these things? Do I fill out a form or something? I know they are free I saw the commericals.

    I already tried to get one. I went to that website they show on the commercials. You gotta have an Electronic Bank Transfer (EBT), aka welfare card, to get one. Those who have welfare cards don't need them, but they get several of them to sell or to give to their kids.

    But the name "Obamaphone" is what even Obama voters call it.

    Just because Bush was a bleeding heart lib doesn't make it OK for him or for Obama.

    another failed attempt by the echo chamber to lie about a program and then go on to blame Obama. I hear they are not trying to make Obama responsible for Pearl Harbour.

    Not surprised people are doing this. I've known people who've traded their SNAP cards for cash to spend on dope or whatever else they wanted.

    Get yo Obama fone! Get yo druuuugs sistuh!

    Democrat voters are pathetic.

    I agree that Bush did it too.

    But that does not make it right.

    But, it only makes you mad now because drudge/foxnews/daily mail are making a big deal about it and manipulating you and others who get their news from those rags.

    How come you guys call them "obamaphones" instead of "congress phones" ?

    From the article: "Legislation in Congress would remove the cell phone component of the program, which launched in 1984 and covered only land lines until 2008"

    The "Lifeline" program was enacted during the Reagan administration. It was expanded to include mobiles during the Bush administration.

    Maybe call them Raeganphones? Or Bushphones?

    Obama despises the low class and the working class. He likes the rich and the terrorists the most. So I'm not defending him here, rather I don't like him receiving undue recognition for charity and benevolence for the common man that he doesn't actually have, for a program he has absolutely f- all to do with.

    Obama has NEVER actually done anything whatsoever to provide welfare or freebies to any low income people. Even obamacare is a scam to further cement the corporate middle man into health care to keep the prices high and the corporations paid. Like a republicrat would, he caters to the RICH. There are welfare programs in the USA, but Obama had nothing to do with them. They were there since before he took over. More and more people go on these programs as unemployment rises and the population rises and the economy further sinks.

    You could of course argue that Obama drives up the need for use of these programs by misappropriating funds and priorities that keeps the economy in decline and boosts the poverty level. THAT I would agree with. : )

    Middle and lower income people barely staying afloat in Americas economy are being asked to continue to pay taxes to subsidize phones for people who wish to sell them for drugs and booze.

    How is that? T

    he burden of taxes lays at that feet of those who struggle to get by, yet the democrats want to continue to take from the lower and middle class and give it to the poor.

    If they prefer, they can assume their tax dollars are being spent on drone assassinations of US citizens in Yemen.

    The funny part is all of us suckers who actually pay our cell phone bills all contribute to these Obama phone for the peasants. Shouldn't we all feel good our money is subsidizing the boos and drugs?

    Thats not fair, I want the new Iphone 5 so I can talk to that Siri thing on there and make it do stuff for me. My current Galaxy phone is inadequate for my needs. Since I am using my hands often I need to be able to speak directly to my phone and make it operate rather than touching it. These are things I need to have in order to continue with my life.

    This is 100% pure discrimination. I don't have a welfare card. The government will be getting a nasty letter for this.

    I'm sorry that the whole world - even Obama voters in the hood - call their free cellphones Obamaphones.

    He is the welfare president and it is only natural that public would associate him with any windfall having to do with welfare.

    So many awesome things Obama continues to spend our money on, drone assassinations, NSA wiretaps and eavesdropping, lavish vacations, call girls for the secret service, bailouts for the rich, prosecution on Bradley Manning, and soon Mr. Snowden.

    I am wondering when I am gonna get more than just roads, and police and fire service?

    I bet the government pays close to iphone prices for these phones.

    So, they are getting a free luxury which is a cell phone. You don't need a cell phone. My current cell phone isn't good enough for me so I want an Iphone 5. These people supposedly can't afford a cell phone period and they get one for free because they want one. I can't afford an Iphone 5 but I want one so why can't I have one for free?

    You should speak to Lord Ronaldus Magnus through a ouji board, or call up GW, they are the ones responsible for this.

    Congress could also pull funding.

    I am not even sure Obama has the authortiy to kill the program. He might.

    I think it sad that these poor victims are in a position where they need the $40 the sale of the phone will get them. Perhaps if we made just a little more sacrifice for these folks then they could afford to keep their Obamaphone

    I don't care who started it the program needs to go, now.

    We can't just start giving people stuff that they wish they had but can't afford. Whats next? Is everyone entitled to television? We going to start providing free 32" tvs to welfare recipients? What about free laptops and internet? Everyone entitled to those? Free cars?
