The program was nicknamed the “Obamaphone” during the 2012 election, though it actually started long before President Obama took office. Indiana reportedly has the highest number of applicants, roughly 17,400, who were signed up by TerraCom Inc. and the affiliated YourTel America Inc.

Boo Hoo.

All BammyFone recipients should have NO problem with all of their private info made free. It's only fair.

Imagine how many low information voters wouldn’t have voted on November 6, 2012 if someone in the Obama regime was calling them on their ObamaPhones to remind them.

This is very bad. There should be a class action and all the effected Obama phone recepients should be given $5,000,000 settlement each to take away their pains and embarrasment from this breach.. This is Obumbler’s aMeriKa and we need to redistribute the wealth from all you white American Tea Party members.

I hate the ‘it started long before Obama’. The free phone program with GWB was only for people who NEEDED phones; disabled, etc. Obama ramped it up to anyone who WANTED a free phone.

Anyone running off with SS numbers from Obamaphone types will not do very well with a loan officer, even with today’s standards.

Wait until they realize that they can all being tracked by the gps in those phones. These phones are what the “universal service tax” on everyone’s phone bill pays for. We are paying for our phone bills so people who don’t work can have free phones. The universal service tax was Algore’s idea. Really, when he was in the Senate, he got this bill passed to “build telephone lines into unserved rural areas.” Road to hell ... paved with other people’s money.

Now this may start to bite - it’s okay to mess around with conservatives and the press, but you start fiddling with the rights and privacy of “low-income Americans”, and the government will come after you but good......

And wasn’t the original intent so that they could call 911.
