    Funny thing is, Barry is too damn stupid to realize how badly the Progs are using him to eventually be the scapegoat for all the blame no matter who came up with the corrupt ideas.

    Every move he makes is clouded in criminal activity.

    And to think the life line phone program was Reagan's idea. Who'd a thought, republicans would turn on their hero?

    The program itself, goes back further than Obama, the program that headed it all was called Lifeline and was started under Ronald Reagan, during the Clinton administration, Clinton expanded the program, then the first cell phone provider service (Trak phone - which Carlos Slims has a controlling stake in ) was added to the program in 2008 under the Bush Jr. administration.

    When I've donated to Republican entities they've asked if I'm a citizen. I thought we were supposed to citizens be to be donating. Am I wrong, or is this just another case where the law doesn't apply to the Kenyan King?

    I thought the whole ethos of the right was to be wealthy.
    Perhaps it is only certain people who are allowed to be so.

    Not at the expense of borrowed taxpayer funds.

    This program was for LAND LINES under Bush and exploded in costs under Barry when it was extended to cell phones for free with some recipients having dozens of phones, many being drug dealers.

    He took a noble idea, designed to help people in need and turned it into a money laundering scheme while aiding the drug trade.

    Liberals love getting wealthy by stealing the earnings of others.

    Righties make their own money.

    If that concept is too difficult for you to grasp then I suggest you never vote again.

    So let me guess this straight...Obama is for the poor man but he keeps making billionaires richer?

    As long as they aren't AMERICAN billionaires. He hates our country and he hates us individually.

    Yes, he prefers Israeli billionaires...... but he is more than willing to make Jewish American billionaires wealthier. And half his cabinet are dual-citizens to Israel. Take Rahm Emmanuel, Tim Geithner, David Axelrod, Mona Sutphen, Jacon Lew, Larry Summers and Robert Reich to name a few.... Obama is as much for the wealthy and elitists as anyone ever had been. You should love him! LOL

    I'd say he's the world's smartest man. He's making off with a fortune. Do you have his number, Heisenberg? I need a loan...
