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!

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.

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

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

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.
