Obama phone corruption exposed
Daily Mail:
EXCLUSIVE: Hidden camera catches wireless company employees passing out 'Obama phones' to people who say they'll SELL them for drugs, shoes, handbags and spending cash
James O'Keefe again exposes the corruption of liberal programs. That extra charge on your self phone bill is being exploited by crooks in some instances.
- The 'Lifeline' free-cell-phone scheme cost $2.2 BILLION last year alone, all of it from fees added to the phone bills of paying customers
- The biggest beneficiary other than low-income consumers is billionaire Carlos Slim Helu, whose TracFone has collected $1.5 BILLION to date
- One company told MailOnline it will fire a salesperson who laughed uproariously when a woman said she would sell her phone to buy shoes
- Conservative firebrand James O'Keefe sent undercover actors to pose as 'Obama phone' seekers aiming to sell the goods; no one turned them down
- Legislation in Congress would remove the cell phone component of the program, which launched in 1984 and covered only land lines until 2008
