Get your...Obama Phones?

[Vteckidd]

What would you expect someone who needs a govt phone to look like? If I was out of a job and had to drop my cell phone coverage to buy food, if I'm out actively searching for a job, I'm still gonna look fresh as hell.

Arguing semantics sir. Im not trying to paint a picture of "THIS IS WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE" im just making the point that if someone cant prioritize $30-40 a month for a phone, im not sure what else we can do to help them.

Theres probably elderly people , severely disabled that benefit from a program like this. But the woman in the video looks well kept, clean, well educated. I would audit her and say what is your income and your expenses. How can you not afford $30-40/month? It makes zero sense. Usually i have found in my life that if people are not able to afford $50-100 for something, they have MUCH bigger problems prioritizing.

I have friends all the time that complain about being "broke" and hate on me for having $200 basketball shoes, or hawks season tickets like im rich. The funny thing is when they find out they make more money than I do. I just budget extremely well. I dont eat out 4 times a day, or smoke $7 packs of cigarettes or drink 40 beers a week or go to bars all weekend. I make sacrifices.

This brings up a point I was gonna make in another thread, but I was watching "The Hope and The Change" last night, an info-mentary perhaps, critical of the president, and they presented a bunch of dems and independents who were disenchanted by the president for whatever reason, an they were all complaining about how they're having to cut back on things so they could barely afford the necessities, an they were all set in nice houses with fancy dining rooms, with one--and sometimes two--flat screen TVs in the background.

That happens, ID ask the same thing to them. WHat necessities? Like are you cutting back on food or are you having to put 87 octane in your car instead of 93?

I think cell phones have replaced land lines as a need. An iPhone is a 'want'

Phone is a phone. Jobs can call you on a land line as much as any other line. Cell phone is convenience , not a need IMO.

I don't remember a bush phone either. I think there are a lot of people looking (hard) for a reason to hate the president. His support for public assistance programs is a good place to find ammunition. I think that site linked above isnt made by the administration, but it's quite effective at what it was intended to do

If i was Obama i would be pissed, i would be telling whoever owns that site to take it down it puts him in a bad light

Read the rest of it. If you look deeper than the surface, you'll see just how golden it is. I wish I came up with it to tell you the truth, and there needs to be more sites like this one
