I just received a very disturbing email, if it has any truth to it at all. I would never have believe it, but at the bottom it says "Snopes says its true." So I looked it up on Snopes and that says it is "false."

Remembering that BO and crew did give out thousands of "free" cell phones and all the rest of the crap for illegals and lots more that should never have happened, I have to wonder if there is something to this that has not been reported or that this article is based upon.

Here's the link to the Snopes page.

snopes.com: Government Opening Free Gas Stations in Poor Neighborhoods

If this proves to be true in any form, then Obama has to go immediately...whatever charges and avenues it takes. Actually he should have been gone long ago for all the stuff we know he has really done.

Has anyone heard anything about this, or it is a jokester poking fun?

Do you fall for Nigarian scams as well?

well I could see how op could say something. Democrats buy votes and this would be just one more example. Why would you think it's so far fetched?

Today, leaches are praised and successful people are demonized.

It was Reagan who gave out the free phones. It was Bush who extended that giveaway to cell phones. The president has continued that practice. There is no program in existance for giving illegals food stamps, welfare, free phones or a change of underwear. No republican in either the house or senate, including fiscal conservative Tea party, has ever introduced a bill to end the practice of free phones for those who qualify..
I have a nice bridge here in the Arizona high desert to sell you cheap if you believe that right wing, chain mail, satirical, propaganda piece.
But thanks for spreading fertilizer all over my monitor. Maybe I'll get the daises to grow larger.

The source of this information is a satire website.

BTW, there is no such thing as an Obama phone.

" Free phones" for low income people have been around for decades. First it was land lines and then, as the cost of cell phones became reasonable, it was expanded to low functioning cells phones in 2008, before Obama was elected. It's paid for by a tax on most phone bills.

It's been a huge windfall for those companies that provide the service.

I would even go so far as to doubt that you know what the word satire means.
It's in the address of that link, btw.
