That was a great little video. Those kids played great parts. The one in the suit and tie epitomized every Union Rep.; from the worthless BA's right on up to the upper echelon, the Andy Sterns of the SEIU. The other kid, in the ball cap, stood on simple common sense. Two seperate and distinct mindsets. It was hilarious!

All you average American working people, that pay your bills, pay your taxes and strive for the America dream are stupid (myself included at the top of the list). Why pay for a cell phone, when you can get your very own FREE Obama Phone? Think it is a joke, a gag? Nope. Obama is giving out free phones, and free minutes. Talk about Card Check and Health Care, by the time Barry is through, he will have those fools voting democrat for the next MILLENIUM…………..

“In addition to meeting the guidelines above you will also be required to provide proof of your your participation in an assistance program, or proof of your income level.”
According to its home page, “Safelink Wireless is a government supported program that provides a free cell phone and airtime each month for income-eligible customers.

With Obama phone owners as the latest wave of election pawns, little wonder why the Dems don’t seem too concerned about mid-term elections."

OMFG. Good link. Where does it stop? Where can it stop? Free pot perscriptions for the hood with your free cell phone to hook up with the "local" unlicensed pharmacist? What scares me is, we actually may be starting to get all the government we're paying for.

That was great. Out of sync, unfortunately, but pretty fun. And very informative. Needs an instalanche.

Obama phone? Ha! Bush phone, perhaps.

Regardless, is this really a bad thing?

Not at all. This is actually a very good example of a public-private initiative.

The money has been collected for 25+ years and was applied to landlines. Under the Bush Administration, the program began to include cheapo, low-end cell phones (the ones that sell for under $10 at gas stations and discount stores).

TracFone provides the phones and minutes, and the recipients can buy more as needed.

I could see being upset if they gave away cars, iPhones or cable TV, but Tracfones are hardly luxury items and it's not worth getting worked up about, truly.

That is some inspirational stuff. Never knew that opinions could be this varied. Thanks for all the enthusiasm to offer such helpful information here.

People there are no "obama phones." The phones that people are mislableing as "obama phones" are safelink phones provided by tracfone. These phones have been around for years and way before obama was even elected into office.

Obama phone? Haha Safelink wireless has nothing to do with Obama and plus it was created before he even came into office. It is a great government program helping those get back on their feet. It is doing GOOD THINGS for people in need, there is nothing bad about it. I fully support Safelink!
