Up until the viral video of Obamaphone Lady appeared (“Keep Obama in president, you know!”), the webpage at obamaphone.net was all about how President Obama was giving all the poor people free phones. As if he was paying the bill, rather than us.
But now that the Obamaphone Lady has been exposing the program so effectively as a vote-buying giveaway to hate-filled societal leeches, the Obamaphone.net page has changed completely.
Guess what?! Obama has nothing to do with it! As you might expect, it’s Bush’s fault, at least partially. The webpage that previously bragged about how much Obama was doing for the leeches, now says it was a program under Bush, that was started under Clinton in accordance with a law passed by FDR after an agreement with the phone companies was reached by Woodrow Wilson. I’m not making that up, see for yourself. The new Obamaphone.net webpage was slapped together in the last few days, obviously without an editor in sight. It reads like a Chinese take-out menu for very happy family to you of good health for light!
Many people think that Obama is giving free cellphones to the poor in order to redistribute the wealth of rich people. Since then two groups are mudslinging at each other... But the Obama part is not true as Obama didn’t initiate this program. It’s on the run since the administration of Reagan… It started back in 2008 when Trafcone started their service under this program at Tennessee. At the same year Obama was elected President but Trafcone began their Safelink service three months before which means the program was discussed and approved by Obama’s predecessor Bush. So now you know that there is nothing called “the Obama Phone”! The president actually has no real impact on the program so it shouldn’t be called “Obama Phones”. The Lifeline program for cell phones was actually started under President George Bush with grants from an independent company crated under president Clinton.
The changes have dishonestly been backdated to December 2011 to pretend it has nothing to do with the Obama Administration running away from the program they used to brag about. Unfortunately, I can’t find the original obamaphone.net page that gave all the credit to Dear Leader. It’s been wiped clean. Even archive.org’s Wayback Machine has been scrubbed!
With my limited skills, I have been unable to find an archived version anywhere. If any of you can, please post it to keep Obama in President, you know!
Ask not for whom the Obama phone rings, for it rings for thee Barry you bum.
Live by the handout, die by the handout.
This story makes me think of the hog farmer who got eaten by his own hogs. These Obama phone folks are the 700 lb hogs that Obama has been feeding. I have a feeling this group of hogs will turn around and eat old Bammy like hogs are known to do. And all the turning around in the world won’t help him one bit.
All I can think of is what they can do with those phones. MAN ON FIRE!
I've been trying to find out who the Obamaphone Lady is. As far as I know she hasn't been otherwise identified
She screams: "Everybody in Cleveland [unintelligible] minority got Obama phone! Keep Obama in president, you know? He gave us a phone!"
I think the missing word is low, as in, "Everybody in Cleveland, low minority, got Obama phone!"
That woman was part of the SEIU campaign to follow Romney around, you bet they have Obama approval.
WOW!!! That is UNREAL what they did to that webpage! I remember looking at this page over a year ago when I first heard about it.
They will use them to organize flash mobs if Obama loses. And they’ll do the same if he wins.
dang
I just found a cache of the page, but you better move quick: go to baidu.com (it’s a Chinese search engine, but safe) - you can type the search term in English. The Chinese lettering on the last line of the search result is the cached page - for obamaphone.net, it is currently 9/23/12 and it is the page we are looking for. I’m taking screenshots and will post later from home.
good work — it’s incredible (I don’t know why I keep saying that) that they totally changed the text, imaging and and “credit” about this program on the page that’s up there now at http://obamaphone.net/. I’m grabbing that one, too, in case it changes again.
He must be really putting pressure on that company to absolve him of any guilty credit.
Team Obama was perfectly willing to take all the credit available from the participants, but now that the taxpayers know about it, they are demanding to be disassociated from the program.
The new site also tells curious readers that the program is not paid for by taxes, but by fees collected by the phone companies from paying phone users because the government demands it. Somehow, that's not a tax.

Have you had a chance to read the pages of this site? Very poorly written, run on sentences, grammatical mistakes etc.
Who the hell put this web site up?
See my links above - the cache is still the old page, I just checked it. They are scrubbing them almost as fast as anyone can locate them - you’d think it was Watergate fingerprints?!?!
