How Obama Can Help The Homeless

[93henfan]

It dawned on me today as I stiffed the panhandlers outside my building in DC yet again...

Why do I stiff them every single day?

It's not because I'm cheap.

It's not because they sometimes curse at me in a crazed fit of mental illness.

It's not because they're black.

It's not because they smell like the floor of the men's room at Sheetz.

It's because I don't carry money. Who does? I pay for goods and services through the day with three things: my credit card, my SmarTrip (DC Metro) card, and my smartphone at Starbucks via their app.

There's no way I'm letting a bum touch anything I own, so that rules out transfers via credit card or SmarTrip. But frankly, I'd have no problem gifting a few dimes via the Starbucks phone app, which is optically read by a code scanner.

This is the ticket. Get these bastards code readers instead of Obama phones.





PS. It is because I am cheap. I wouldn't even let them scan a nickel if they were provided readers.

Q: Has the Obama administration started a program to use "taxpayer money" to give free cell phones to welfare recipients?

A: No. Low-income households have been eligible for discounted telephone service for more than a decade. But the program is funded by telecom companies, not by taxes, and the president has nothing to do with it.

Marketing gimmick.

OBAMAPHONE.COM IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY DEPARTMENT OF THE US GOVERNMENT,
THE FCC, OR THE LIFELINE PHONE PROGRAM

So are you saying the Obama Phone does not exist? People on welfare can't get a free phone and 250 minutes.

Please let me know.

So if bums took credit cards, Apple pay or Paypal you would give them more money?

Maybe we need ANOTHER government program.

Will they be called Trump Phones after he gets elected?

Here's a dot gov version of the Obama Phone info for you. Any further questions?

And before you get hung up on 1985, I'm pretty sure they weren't mailing out cellphones then.

No, but it will still be Bushs fault...............

Nope, but Alpha's right, it is Bush's fault.

The president has no direct impact on the program, and one could hardly call these devices "Obama Phones," as the e-mail author does. This specific program, SafeLink, started under President George Bush.

Leave it to the liberal faggots on the board to ruin what was supposed to be a light thread.

You guys have the sense of humor of Stalin.

Whew, taking a break for a bit.

[Skjellyfetti]

You give yourself too much credit.

It wasn't that funny anyway.

Personally I found Stalin pretty damn funny at least more than Trotsky did................



Seriously that mustache makes me laugh every time

I've learned that listening to music while walking the .3 miles from the parking lot to the office helps me ignore/avoid them.

Obama phones do exist. I saw the tents along my old bus route through The Wire.

I don't care enough to look into it. From what I saw, they were all old flip phones.
