@bobbie2 Of course I'm correct. Was there ever any doubt?

I hope you Tea Party guys go ahead and form your nationalist party, then the center could break away from the left. Maybe then e could get back to actually governing.

"Are the parasites now 51%?? I thought you folks said it was 47%."

Obviously the last election proved we were wrong, which your side stated all along. I concede, you were correct.

"TracFone is the US affiliate of America Movil, which is controlled by Carlos Slim of Mexico."

And you STILL can't show us a donation of even one dollar from Carlos Slim, to the Obama campaign? Not a single dollar boobie? But you said Slim was a HUGE donor.

You lied, now try for a second to be a grownup and admit it.

S o then boobie, you're telling us that you can't explain why Tracphone would give money to the President for something his predecessor did?

Who was President again in 2008 you half wit?

What is greater little boobie, one or many?

Hmm Contras were drug dealers? Really don't think they were as bad as the muslum brotherhood that the current POTUS is supplying regardless of what the communists in congress at the time said.

"Presidents aren't supposed to supply assault weapons to Mexican drug dealers but that hasn't bothered obama either."

Just when I think Carlitos is the biggest liberal moron that posts here Lazy the Liar proves me wrong.

TracFone is the US affiliate of America Movil, which is controlled by Carlos Slim of Mexico. Slim—who bailed out the New York Times and is often referred to as “Mexico’s Mr. Monopoly”—has visited the White House at least twice, according to visitor logs. Carlos Slim, whose $53-plus billion in holdings put him atop the Forbes' list of super-wealthy in March, joined more than a dozen top "bundlers" – major fundraisers -- from Obama's 2008 campaign on the guest list. So did a handful of Hollywood luminaries, including actress Whoopi Goldberg.

It was clear after more than 30 top donors and fundraisers filed into the last White House state dinner in November that the Obama administration did not plan to break from a long tradition of using the majestic affairs to reward big-dollar political backers.

Calos Slim is a Mexican national, and can NOT donate to American political candidates.

"A wireless company profiting from the so-called “Obama phone” giveaway program"

Hey everyone, look at the Republican party implode. ROFL.

Another fine example of the chain email party.

"Miami-based TracFone Wireless, a company whose president and CEO, Frederick “F.J.” Pollak, has donated at least $156,500 to Democratic candidates and committees this cycle"

But wait just a second there boobie brain, you said CALOS SLIM was a HUGE Obama funder. Now your story seems to be shifting.

And explain to us again, why Tracphone would credit the President, for a program that was initiated under a Republican President you voted TWICE for?

You are an idiot.

"WHEN will people quit telling these lies? NO PRESIDENT, NO CONGRESS had ANYTHING to do with the free phones. They are the baby of the FCC."

Just to clarify, it the "free Obamaphone program" until someone points out that it was already in full effect the day President Obama was sworn in, and that it was actually enacted under the watchful eyes of not one, but TWO Republican Presidents, then suddenly, it's just an outrage that someone would blame a President for this?

Really?

johnnyad3 - 11:04 AM "he got his S.S.D.I. and his Access card and a Obama phone" Talk about sheep. Someone lies about Obama giving out cell phones and you believe it without question.

There is a program called Lifeline. It is a program to subsidize phone service for low income people.

Guess what? It was created under President Reagan in 1985 and then expanded under President George W. Bush in 2008. So give credit where credit is due; to the Republicans that created and increased the program."

WHEN will people quit telling these lies? NO PRESIDENT, NO CONGRESS had ANYTHING to do with the free phones. They are the baby of the FCC.

WHY do you continue lying on this subject?

A wireless company profiting from the so-called “Obama phone” giveaway program is run by a prominent Democratic donor whose wife has raised more than $1.5 million for the president since 2007. One of the major providers of the free cell phones—3.8 million subscribers as of late 2011—is Miami-based TracFone Wireless, a company whose president and CEO, Frederick “F.J.” Pollak, has donated at least $156,500 to Democratic candidates and committees this cycle, including at least $50,000 to the Obama campaign.

Pollak’s wife, Abigail, is a campaign bundler for Obama who has raised more than $632,000 for the president this cycle, and more than $1.5 million since 2007. She has personally contributed more than $200,000 to Democratic candidates and committees since 2008."

Presidents aren't supposed to supply assault weapons to Mexican drug dealers but that hasn't bothered obama either.

Boobie is a complete idiot, and a propagandist's wet dream because of his complete lack of critical thinking skills, or ability to check out anything he hears. If he "likes" you, anything you say is the absolute truth no matter how outrageous or stupid it is on it's face, to anyone that can crack double digits on an IQ test.

Uh oh, boobie caught in yet ANOTHER lie.

"Cell phones weren't added to the program until 2008 and then cost jumped from $772 million to a projected cost of $3.3 billion in 2014."

Who was president in 2008 again boobie?

Do you ever say ANYTHING that isn't completely worthless?

Cell phones weren't added to the program until 2008 and then cost jumped from $772 million to a projected cost of $3.3 billion in 2014. Who benefited from this addition of cell phones? TracFone owned by Carlos Slim a huge donor to the obama campaign.

"Just another gov't program that outlived it's intended usefulness to gain votes."

A program that helps ensure poor people have access to emergency services "outlived it's usefulness"? Oh, that's right. The mayor of Williamsport promised to end crime in the city on day one of his administration.

By the way, I had lifeline in the 80's, but I missed my cell phone. Just another gov't program that outlived it's intended usefulness to gain votes.

Instructions are printed in 3 languages. One of them is in English. Not everything is geared to local.

Chuck....do you really use your nugget? Buy local food, use a locally made broom or ride a horse lately? I choose English. How well do you think it would be for 'older' Americans to learn to read and write a new language if English becomes the secondary one? We would need to adapt to a different way of life, not them. BTW, American students do not fair all that well in English as it stands....):
