8 million people have signed up for the program. 129 million voted in the last election. So as of now it's 6% not 47%, most of whom probably live in the broke ass red states.
It's not a program started by Obama. It started under Reagan and was expanded under Clinton and Bush. They call it Obama phone out of ignorance ( just as you claimed the video sums up the 47% out of ignorance).
You're an imbecile.
What is the Obama Phone?
http://obamaphone.net/what-is-the-obama-phone
The term “the Obama Phone” has been all around since the day Barack Obama became the president of the United States of America. Many people think that Obama is giving free cellphones to the poor in order to redistribute the wealth of rich people. Since then two groups are mudslinging at each other.
It’s true that government provides free cellphones to the poor and disabled people. But the Obama part is not true as Obama didn’t initiate this program.
It’s been run since the administration of Reagan. This program has two parts: one is called the ‘Link-Up’ which provided free landline connection to the poor and the other is called the ‘Lifeline’ which provides waiver on telephone bills. These two programs are simply called ‘Lifeline’ when lumped together.
This service is provided by government approved companies. The three major companies are Safelink Wireless, Assurance Wireless and ReachOut Wireless.
Today government provides waivers on landline phone bills for people with low income living inside US territory. This program began during Clinton’s administration and still continuing under Obamas’ administration.
With the increasing use of mobile technologies cost came down. To low income individuals and senior citizens, cellphones were included under Lifeline. At present, government gives free cellphone with 250 minutes of free talk time to those people who are eligible and have signed up for this program. It started back in 2008 when Trafcone started their service under this program at Tennessee. At the same year Obama was elected President but Trafcone began their Safelink service three months before which means the program was discussed and approved by Obama’s predecessor Bush. So now you know that there is nothing called “the Obama Phone”.
Over 8 million people have already signed up for the Lifeline program and up to 35% of Americans are qualified

That's good info Joe, but the woman in that video STILL believes that Obama is responsible for giving out free phones. SHE is the imbecile. And unfortunately there are millions of other just like her.
..and their vote is worth as much as yours...

What about the OP? You think he'll vote for Obama? You can be sure many of the millions of imbeciles will be just like him, throwing a bitch fit over the "Obamaphones", completely ignorant of it's origin under the presidency of Republican icon Ronald Reagan. That will more than cancel out the millions who think Obama gave them phones.
