Guess what righties... Obama had NOTHING to do with the so-called "Obama Phone"! In fact it is NOT even your tax dollars that funds the "free phone" program. Guess who WAS president when the program started?


...you got it, it was Dubya! Following the lead of Reagan!

That's right, they are Reagan/Bush Phones, NOT Obama phones.

See what happens when you research things yourself instead of getting your political info from FB, talk radio and political memes?

They're called "obama phones" because that's what the woman in the video called them. Another video showed that people are taking advantage of the program, which was started for good reasons.

I believe when people bring up "obama phones", they're not making fun of the program, but of the entitlement mentality demonstrated by the woman in the video and by those who take advantage of the program.

Or maybe those that take advantage are just thieves.

I guess your research shows that the woman in the video and others who get obama phones should be voting for, and thanking, republicans.

Funny how obama didn't set them straight on this issue.

I think there were probably idiots over the past five administrations who appeciated the free phones.
Hey Biggs, Schools out. History did not begin in January 2009.
