Also, if the truth were known, free phone service, or subsidized phone service for low income people started under Reagan, and free cell phones started with a program under George W.

I don't know about you, but I always go to YouTube to source my information.  Especially videos from totally unbiased downloader handles like RealFreedom1776.  Neutrality at its finest!

It's a viral video posted to prove a point that 'Obamaphone' has become a common anti-Obama talking point for someone who apparently never knew about it. Geez, there are multiple videos like it that have 10's if not 100's of thousands of veiws. It in no way was meant to be legitimate news. How is there anyone who hasn't heard of it or doesn't know of anyone who has one? You all act like only a republican would know or be talking about it.

Don't know a soul.  Then again, to be completely honest, I also don't ask.

Article about the cell phone program from the UK Daily Mail.

$4 Billion per year.  Provides $10 phones and $10 per month for basic coverage (250 minutes).  Collected through a "universal service charge" on each month's cell phone bill.

Just checked my bill... it's a grand total of...

$2.21 per month!   

A grand total of $26.52 per year.


 
Best part of this is that igy is the only one on the board not paying for Obamaphones!

Imagine a bright red phone that goes directly to the Oval Office. Like a Batphone, but cellular.

It's funny that Dio's dream was the catalyst in Shorebird's latest rant/escapade.  Especially since Dio voted for Stein.

I don't know a single person who has one.  I don't know a single person who has ever had one.  I mean, maybe I do...I don't know.  I don't know anyone who walks around talking about their free Obamaphone and I don't really make it a point to ask people if they pay for their cellphone bill or not.  What's an Obamaphone look like anyway?  I imagine that it's a basic flip phone with a caricature Obama sticker on it and is loaded with Obama catchphrases as ringtones. 

Also, if the truth were known, free phone service, or subsidized phone service for low income people started under Reagan, and free cell phones started with a program under George W.

So, I don't really know who started the subsidized phone service or who decided to convert it to cell phones, but assuming that this is true, then why for the love of farg do you and every other rightie out there call them "Obamaphones?"  Why were they never Reaganphones or Bushphones?  Save your answer.  I already know it's full of shtein.
