Food Stamp Lottery Winner Dies!

One year ago, Amanda Clayton won the lottery. This year she's no longer able to spend the remainder of her winnings. She died over the weekend in an apparent drug overdose according to news sources.

One way to get over the system, food stamp fraud.

A drop in the bucket is the SNAP program. Many Americans who are on low income assistance or too poor to live on the rising prices of fuel and food apply for benefits from their state and federal resources.

Hence forth the "safety net"! 

Without a safety net, these people will rob and kill those who have the luxuries of having food in the refrigerator or in the pantry. And yet, these Republicans and their conservative allies are thinking the poor are the reasons for the economic recession. Perhaps those who complain about the poor, should walk a day in that person's shoes!

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the food stamps program.

To Republicans and the racist right, it's a giveaway for Obama's "sons". It's a way for those White taxpayers to give to those "Blah" people. The Republicans would rather pass legislation that would starve children.

Our country shouldn't allow anyone to starve! There are some take advantage of the food stamps program and this cost billions of dollars in government waste.

The scourge of the conservative movement is the low income citizen. These are the people that Mitt Romney wrote off in the now infamous video in which he was caught on camera bashing Americans who may support President Barack Obama. He made the determination that Americans who support the president are victims and dependents of government assistance. That has him dragging in the polls.

President Barack Obama was called the "Food Stamp" president by that jackass Former House Speaker and Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich. That was a dog whistle to rile up White voters. That helped Newt Gingrich beat Mitt Romney in the South Carolina and Georgia primaries.

Still the issue that comes forth from Republicans, that government dependency is a major problem and President Barack Obama and his liberal allies are trying to make the country an entitlement based society.

Other words: NIGGERIZATION.

That's what I've said and I stand by this!

Anyway, a Michigan woman who won the state lottery was still applying for food stamps and welfare. This woman was named Amanda Clayton and she was found dead this weekend.

According to the Associated Press, police say a Detroit-area woman who collected welfare benefits despite winning a $735,000 lottery prize has died of a possible drug overdose.

Ecorse police Sgt. Cornelius Herring confirmed that Clayton was found dead about 9 a.m. Saturday at a home in the community southwest of Detroit.

Relatives of Clayton did not immediately return a phone message for comment.

Clayton of Lincoln Park pleaded no contest to fraud in June and was sentenced to nine months' probation in July. Her attorney has said Clayton repaid about $5,500 in food aid and medical benefits.

Michigan's Department of Human Services says Clayton didn't inform the state about her pre-tax lottery windfall last year.

Republican governor, Rick Snyder signed a law in April requiring lottery officials to tell Human Services about new winners.

I hate to see such a beautiful woman die! I'm not jumping to conclusions but I think it was heroin overdose.

Heroin is by far the most dangerous drug out there! Her life probably ended with a needle. I don't have to wait on the details of how she died.

In court for fraud of the government, Amanda Clayton awaits her sentencing.

Look we seen the epidemic of drugs in the urban communities and yes it's in the suburbs as well.

The Detroit News reports that Clayton had a child custody battle, fought with neighbors, and was forced to buy a second house to escape pressure from a former boyfriend.

Sheryl Schonfeld lived across the street from the home where Clayton grew up, where her parents still live on Hanford Avenue, and said she knew her for at least 17 years.

"We moved in here around the same time, so I've know her since she was a little girl," said Schonfeld. "She was a nice, pleasant girl who never got in trouble, until she won the lottery," she said.

A person who answered a call placed to Clayton's home Sunday, said, "No comment," and hung up the phone.

Schonfeld, 59, said she noticed some new purchases after Clayton's win, including a new car for her father and one for herself. She said Clayton also purchased a home nearby on Anne Avenue in Lincoln Park.

"Then she had to buy another house, I don't know where, because her boyfriend found out where she lived and was bothering her, so she had to move."

She said Clayton had two children. The youngest was with her mother when she was discovered dead.

Schonfeld said Clayton was spending the night with a female friend when the friend heard her child crying.

"Her friend went into the room when she heard the child crying and turned Amanda over and saw she was already dead," said Schonfeld. "Amanda's mother told me she had been taking prescription drugs, but I'm not sure why."

While living on Anne, Clayton was involved in a dispute with neighbors on Aug. 19, which escalated into an altercation and resulted in the arrest of two men who were charged with assault with a dangerous weapon.

At the time, Lincoln Park Police Lt. John Martin said two men and two women were arraigned in connection with an assault outside Clayton's home. He said the incident was sparked by a disagreement over grass clippings between Clayton and her neighbor Victor Bartola, 46.

Martin said Clayton was cutting her grass and left grass clippings in Bartola's driveway. He said Bartola then took a broom or leaf blower and returned the clippings to Clayton's property.

An argument ensued and a friend at Clayton's home left, but returned with three other people, and a fight broke out. Those involved in the fight were armed with a knife, air-soft gun and baseball bat. Clayton was not charged in the assault. Bartola was hospitalized and released.

Forty-one days later, she was found dead by Ecorse police in a friend's house on Sunnyside Road in Ecorse. The Wayne County Medical Examiner's office said the cause of death is pending. (Ecorse Police Sgt. Cornelius Herring said she was found at 9 a.m. Saturday.

He said she was the third victim in a rash of drug overdoses in the city over the weekend.

"This was very, very unusual for the city to have so many overdoses at one time," he said. "Two of the other victims were taken to Children's Hospital, and she was the third."

Her battle over her winnings, which gained national attention, began when the state said she got about $5,500 in food aid and medical benefits after winning $735,000, before taxes, in 2011.

Clayton, 25, pleaded no contest to fraud in June, and was placed on six months' probation in July. Her attorney has said Clayton repaid the $5,500 in food aid and medical benefits.

Clayton isn't the only Michigan Lottery winner to become notorious after making headlines.

In August, millionaire Freddie Young, of Detroit, was sentenced to 20 to 35 years in prison for fatally shooting his daughter's landlord.

Young, 64, was convicted on second-degree murder and felony firearm charges in the May 2011 killing of Australian native Gregory McNicol.

Prosecutors said Young won an estimated $1.57 million share of a Michigan Lottery jackpot in February 2011. Three months later, he shot 45-year-old McNicol over $1,000 in back rent owed by his daughter.

In Michigan's first lottery jackpot in 1973, Hermus Millsaps took cruises to Alaska and the Caribbean after winning $1 million.

He bought several new cars over the past 27 years.

But Millsaps ex-wife sued him for additional child support, and salesmen and charity-seekers were a constant in his life.

Millsaps died in April 2002, at the age of 82.

Video Surfaces Of Rick Ross/Young Jeezy Brawl!

Brawl between rappers leads to shooting at BET Hip Hop Awards Show. Rick Ross and Young Jeezy are both Def Jam artists who write songs about cocaine, firearms and the gangsta lifestyle. They're entertainers not gangsters! They had to put on a show to prove to their "stans" they have "street cred!" 

It was reported by the mainstream press that two rappers from the same label got into a heated exchanged behind the scenes at the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards. Gun fire occurred after Def Jam rappers Rick Ross and Young Jeezy got into it behind the scenes of the annual event.

Earlier I wrote that it splashed on the conservative news agitator The Drudge Report. This story linked by this website is an assertive dog whistle to White voters. This is an attempt to rile up the White conservative male who apparently supporting Republican nominee Mitt Romney. The angry White male with conservative views are the ones who toss up a "word salad" with racial slurs, Obama name drops, and stereotypes to paint one group as a threat to American values.

The reason why Matt Drudge put this on his website is because President Barack Obama mentioned Young Jeezy in a joke. The rapper wrote the song "My President [Is Black]"! 

Now BET is doing damage control. Of course, you people who are hip-hop stans should know that anytime a hip-hop award show is kicking off, expect a controversial entertainer to make the news.

The Source Awards, The VIBE Awards and BET Awards are solely focused on the hip-hop music industry. 

The hip-hop music industry is on the decline. Rappers are putting the mic down and grabbing scripts. 

It's proven fruitful for entertainers like LL Cool J, Romeo Miller, Queen Latifah, Ice Cube, Jamie Foxx, Will Smith, and Ice T. They're more focused on making a career in movies and television.

Lil' Wayne, Rick Ross, Drake, Future, Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz, Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz, Chris Brown, Rihanna and Gucci Mane are the most sought after entertainers in the music industry. Their songs are most played on hip-hop music stations.

Overall these awards shows aren't nothing but a glitz and glamour thing that the brainless stans flock to the televisions to watch who's the most attractive or the most disgusting. Who's the new "it" couple. The apparent "washed up celebrity" or the surprise of a "famed legend"!

I don't care about awards shows or reality television personally. But if you're interested in it, that's your life.

Anyways this is the TMZ video in which Rick Ross gets angered and shirtless.

Presidential Shoot Out: Rick Ross and Young Jeezy!

Def Jam rappers involved in a fight at BET Hip-Hop Awards. Rappers Rick Ross (left) and Young Jeezy (right) got into a heated confrontation between their respective camps. Media mogul Jay-Z (center) was instrumental in signing them to Def Jam in 2004 and they've both went on to become successful (and yes controversial) entertainers. Both rappers write songs about cocaine dealing and gun play. Matt Drudge, the notorious race-baiter is going after Jay-Z and Young Jeezy because of President Barack Obama's association with them.

Gay conservative race baiting agitator Matt Drudge is desperate. Of course this election season is where he thinks he could shine! His website The Drudge Report has once again splashed another Black story on its pages. The reason is because of one of the rappers getting a shout out from the president and the other name dropping the president's name in a verse. Two rappers who appear to have fought behind the stages at the BET Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta over the past weekend made the news rounds.

To quote the words of Young Jeezy: My President Is Black!

Rick Ross appears under Def Jam Records.

Young Jeezy appears under Def Jam Records.

Jay-Z appears under Roc-A-Fella Records/Roc Nation, LLC.

Okay, Rick Ross (aka The Boss, Rick Rozay or Maybach Untouchable) is the top billing hip-hop artist this year and his record label Maybach Music Group has became the newest cult following among the hip-hop stans. Ross borrowed the name from a former drug kingpin who rose to prominence in the late 1980s. The rapper established his hip-hop collective with rappers Wale, Meek Mill, Stalley, Gunplay and even R & B singer Omarion.

Okay, Young Jeezy (aka Snowman/Tha Trappa) is the former drug dealer from the streets of Atlanta who rose to fame after joining the hip-hop collective Boyz 'N Da Hood. The defunct rap collective was started by Sean "Puffy" Combs through a recruitment of five Southern based rappers with unique backgrounds. He appeared as the guy in the Icy video by fellow Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane and then broke out on his own with his Thug Motivation albums. He is a member of the hip hop group United Streets Dopeboyz of America (USDA) and a former member of BMF (Black Mafia Family). He began his career in 2001 under an independent label and joined Boyz 'N Da Hood in 2005 before striking it out on his own.

I wish I had cable. I would of love to see the BET Awards. Alas, I'm stuck to hearing about it through channels like WorldStarHipHop, SOHH.com, Allhiphop.com, The Huffington Post and The Drudge Report.

Well the Drudge Report's reason to linking this article! The presidential shout out to Young Jeezy!

This year at the National Correspondents Dinner, President Barack Obama joked about being as gangster as Young Jeezy when it comes to getting things done. That lit up the internet and Young Jeezy was surprised and even thankful for his shout out!

Once again you'll hear stuff about Young Jeezy being one of "Obama's sons!"

You'll hear the word salad from conservatives or even White supremacists. They'll use words like "gang bangers", "Niggers", "Obama", "Holder", "monkeys", "hate rap", "Romney", and "coons".

You'll see either Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity or the mighty Rush Limbaugh look upon this as the reasons to why President Barack Obama must be defeated.

The Daily Mail is where Drudge linked the article and I'll share a few insights to how this started and offer an honest opinion of hip-hop awards shows in general.

Shots were allegedly fired on Saturday night outside the taping of the BET Hip Hop Awards in Atlanta following a shoving match that broke out backstage between rappers Young Jeezy and Rick Ross.

According to TMZ sources, the two performers exchanged heated words during the ceremony and started pushing each other before their bodyguards and BET security intervened and separated the two men.

But that was apparently not the end of the incident. According to eyewitnesses, soon afterwards a member of Ross's entourage went to the parking lot of the Boisfeuillet Jones Atlanta Civic Center and pulled out a gun, firing several shots.

According to the Atlanta Police Department, neither Young Jeezy nor Rick Ross was arrested in connection to the altercation.

Rick Ross (William Roberts III), 36, and Young Jeezy, 34 (Jay Jenkins), have not enjoyed a good relationship in the past, but lately the two appeared to be on good terms.

Rick Ross newest protege Gunplay got into a feud with 50 Cent's G-Unit camp later that night.

Entertainment Weekly reports that BET released a statement that said, “BET Networks works very hard to bring the best in entertainment to the city of Atlanta. For the past seven years BET has celebrated the true art form of hip-hop. Due to some misjudgment of select attendees, it is unfortunate that certain incidents took place. BET Networks does not condone any type of violence. Local authorities are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.”

The awards, which were hosted by Mike Epps, will air on Oct. 9 on BET.

Okay my opinion of this.

These rappers are entertainers. It's apparently "street cred" for these individuals who make trouble. They have to keep up their image in order to make themselves successful.

Rick Ross and Young Jeezy are both dumbass rappers for the very fact they allowed their petty feud become the news. The Drudge Report is looking for anything to inspire angry white men to vote against President Barack Obama.

The angry white male is drenched in hate of a growing minority, cultural differences, urban crime, illegal immigration, gays becoming more powerful, and the likelihood of President Barack Obama winning reelection.

Anything that involves hip-hop is directly tied to President Barack Obama. The very mention of the president in the verses of Young Jeezy, Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Rick Ross are like magnets to conservative agitators like Drudge, Limbaugh, Hannity and O'Reilly.

Most rappers should acknowledge they're entertainers first, everything else next. These people set us back three steps for every incident that leads to violence.

Rappers are not destined to be role models or inspirations for Black youth. They're entertainers. They inspire young people to become musicians and media moguls.

Jay-Z, Will Smith, LL Cool J, Snoop Dogg, Queen Latifah, and Ice-T have became successful entertainers in hip-hop music. They managed to become not only rappers but actors and media moguls.

In other words, I love the music, hate the controversy that follow it!

Ignore The Pollster Behind The Curtain!

Right wing slug Dean Chambers tries to discredit national polls.

When President Barack Obama succeeds, his political foes scream. And this latest scream is the continuation of denial. The national polls are showing that the president is leading against Republican nominee Mitt Romney. And this is dispiriting his core supporters.

Just when you thought the Republican Party couldn't sink any lower, here comes their newest talking point!

The polls over samples "DEMOCRATS" and the "LIBERAL" media is trying to help the president win!

I swear that Republicans and their conservative allies are going to do some serious soul searching after this!

I mean how can a political party be so ideologically rigid?

What the heck wrong with this party?

Okay, now these polls mean something!

President Barack Obama is leading in the crucial states of Ohio, Florida and Virginia. The states of Florida and Ohio are very important to the general election due to the mixture of politically liberal and conservative citizens in each metro area. No Republican ever won the White House without carrying Ohio.

Mitt Romney is going to do marathon campaigning in Ohio up until this election.

Republicans are expressing serious concerns about the way Mitt Romney is handling his campaign.

The debates that are coming are the last hope for a major turnaround.

When you look at the paradox of how the Republican Party is losing the edge in voter enthusiasm they're trying to hold on to what they have by saying that the polls mean nothing. They'll say Michael Dukakis led in the polls before he took a total nosedive.

So is Mitt Romney trying to find Willie Horton or President Barack Obama riding on a military tank?

This is the face you want to see on November 6, 2012.

Some right wing pollster by the name of Dean Chambers created UnSkewed Polls. He basically trying to create some conspiracy theme to saying that the Romney campaign is actually ahead.

Once again, why get angry at these morons?

Instead of getting angry at these conservative agitators, do me and LeReyna a big favor!

What we need to do is VOTE!

Don't worry what these people say about you, just ignore them and stay the course!

Anti-Islam Filmmaker Going To The Iron College!

This is the man who sponsored an anti-Islamic film. This guy has multiple names so I can't give an actual name to this individual. But according to most sources this guy is named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, an Egyptian-born American man who is under federal indictment for fraud.

The right wing media is up in arms over the tragedy in Libya. They believe that the Obama administration deliberately lied to the American public about al-Qaeda's role in the killing of Libyan ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other men. They demand that United Nations ambassador Dr. Susan Rice step down immediately. Now of course, the conservatives are throwing their umpteenth excuse to why President Barack Obama's "soft of terrorism" and "he's apologizing for America" nonsense again.

Oh, so I guess four innocent lives lost on September 11, 2012 is a big freaking deal?

Of course, to those who diligently served our country in the times of war and peace and diplomacy. These men were noble in their duties and President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were upset over this. The president demands swift justice to those who committed this act of terrorism.

Now since selective memory happens to fall upon the likes of Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and their friends over at Fox News Channel, why don't we poke holes in their outrage?

They never admit that George W. Bush failed in leadership when it came to times of tragedy. I mean we seen three major events that happened under his watch.

How about the numerous lives lost on September 11, 2001?

Over 3,000 lives lost either by the airplanes crashing into the World Trade Center, The Pentagon, and rural Pennsylvania. The lives lost either from the buildings collapsing, or other events that occurred that day and weeks to follow. (i.e. cancer, depression, suicide and retaliation killings of Americans who were Muslims or Sikh).

President George W. Bush oversaw the worst tragedy to ever happen on American soil. His administration ignored warnings that al-Qaeda was determined to strike the homeland with air transportation.

What about Hurricane Katrina? The horrible event in August 29, 2005.

Over 1,850 lives were lost either to the floods, the mercenary killings by law enforcement, or due to health concerns from pollution caused by rot and debris. New Orleans, a major seaport suffered 80% damage in its infrastructure.

What about Virginia Tech?

The horrible event that happen on April 16, 2007. When Republicans allowed the assault weapons ban expire, they've eased up restrictions to firearms. The mentally disturbed grab a hold of a firearm and there you have it a mass shooting. The young man Seung-Hui Cho was rejected by a woman and had trouble fitting in. So in a revenge plot he murders 32 people and injures 17 others before killing himself. He also sent the NBC News a tape of his plot to take out "those who oppressed him!"

George W. Bush preceded over numerous tragedies and yet Republicans never seem to fault him for these events. It's either President Bill Clinton or President Barack Obama's fault. For good measure they'll fault President Jimmy Carter sometimes!

Now the reason why I continue on about the issue of Libya. It was sparked by the American filmmaker who created an anti-Islamic movie called The Innocence of Muslims, a parody that mocks the Prophet Mohammad.

For those who aren't aware of this, over in the Middle East, to those who insult the Prophet Mohammad, it's blasphemy and justifiable for a honor killing.

This individual and his family went into hiding after riots broke out

Over in the United States, anti-Islamic hate is rising. This person who created this movie knew that it would take a spark to send the Middle East into turmoil.

The creator Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, or Mark Yousef or Sam Bacile or best unknown is the mastermind of this YouTube video that's seen on the internet. It's went viral across the Western world and banned in most of the Islamic world.

The movie was translated in Arabic. Then the video also went into the hands of an Egyptian commentator who has conservative views. The reporter, Sheikh Khaled Abdullah shown the video on his program on news channel Al-Nas Network. The new Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, urged the United States to halt the video and have those who made it, investigated. The United States condemned the movie but told the world that even though the movie is considered offensive, [The United States] can't stop the freedom of speech by those who made this. Our country believes in religious tolerance. But it also believes in religious intolerance as well.

This led to weeks of massive protests and gave al-Qaeda, a motive to ambush the American embassy in Libya. As the protesters set fire to the American and Israeli flag, they demanded the condemnation of the creators of the movie.

The staff vacated the Libyan embassy. According to the federal authorities investigating, Ambassador Christopher Stevens and members were ushered into a safe house nearby. I am guessing some of the Libyan national security forces tipped the terrorist off and they preceded to the safe house with rocket launchers.

In Benghazi, the attack on the U.S. consulate lasted almost five hours, and the attackers used rocket-propelled grenades, assault rifles, hand grenades, gun trucks, and mortars. It resulted in the deaths of the United States Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens, Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith,American private security employee Glen Doherty and former U.S. Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods. Ten Libyan guards were initially reported killed, although this was later retracted and changed to seven injured. In later reports, U.S. officials said that the Benghazi attack appeared to be "complex" and professionally executed. U.S. officials, speaking under anonymity, said that they believed the Benghazi attack was coordinated and planned in advance, and not prompted by the film.

Al-Qaeda has indicated responsibility and said it was in revenge for a U.S. drone strike that killed Abu Yahya al-Libi, an al-Qaeda leader. In an exclusive interview with NPR in Benghazi, President Mohammed el-Megarif says foreigners infiltrated Libya over the past few months, planned the attack and used Libyans to carry it out.

The person responsible for this is now fearing for his life after this. Not only this character is fearing for his life, but Pastor Terry Jones, the controversial figure who burned pages of the Qur'an last year setting off killings in Afghanistan is fearing as well.

They were the ones responsible for this diplomatic crisis overseas. With tensions rising in the Middle East over this and the showdown between Washington, Israel and Iran, the president has a stack of stuff to handle.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are foreign policy novices. They went on the attack and called the president's Middle East outreach as an "apology tour" and "weak".

This individual is in federal court for parole violation.

Hence forth NIGGERIZATION!

Following the violent reactions to the video, Nakoula and his family went into hiding, and the Cerritos, California home is listed for sale. His attorney has said he has received threats to his safety. On September 15, 2012, federal authorities took Nakoula in for an interview about possible probation violations related to the film's distribution on the Internet.

The U.S. Marshals and California law enforcement have arrested this person over the past few days on a federal probation violation. This guy is now in the iron college with bail denied and passports revoked.


On September 27, 2012, U.S. federal authorities arrested Nakoula in Los Angeles charging eight counts of probation violation.

Prosecutors stated that some of the violations included making false statements regarding his role in the film and his use of the alias "Sam Bacile". None of the charges relate to his use of the Internet.

Following a hearing before a judge, Nakoula was ordered to jail without bail on September 27, 2012, with the judge citing probation violations including lying to probation officials, "danger to the community", and "lack of trust in the defendant".

He faces up to three years in prison.

Graphic photos surface of Ambassador Christopher Stevens being carried after suffering injuries from a terrorist attack.

This incident has the Republicans licking their chops. They're hoping they can regain control of a nearly disastrous month. Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee, Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri, U.S. Senate nominee) and Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin, the vice presidential nominee) have struggled in the polls as of recently.

Fox News and conservatives have tried to dismiss the rise in President Barack Obama's polls as the Michael Dukakis bounce. They're complaining that Democrats are oversampled and the media is in the tank for the president.

We're experiencing the Barry Goldwater effect in progress. The Republicans and their conservative allies are so unhinged! They're failing to understand that this the nation will leave them behind if they don't get their act together. Especially when it comes to foreign affairs and our economy.

They're so desperate, they're having to find other attempts to undermine President Barack Obama. It's almost a freaking shame.

It's really hard on them to digest Intrade has the president's chances at reelection at 80% and the Electoral College total at 332.

Now all of that can change when it comes to debate time.

But instead of getting angry at the conservatives and their Republican buddies. Do me and LeReyna a favor and vote. Vote and make your voice heard.

If you're upset over this video and the way they're treating President Barack Obama! Don't get mad!

Vote!

If you figure that Congress isn't doing enough to help bring jobs back to the country and stabilize our economy! Don't get mad!

Vote! 

Free Obama Phones: Is This The Best You've Got?

Rest assured, the desperation is felt over at The Drudge Report and Team Breitbart. They're latest evidence of a national scandal comes from an amateur filmmaker and a dumb ass Obama supporter protesting outside a Romney event in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. The filmmaker of the video pulls aside the often unique down on her luck Black person. This Black person goes into screaming her support for the president and declares that she's got an "Obama Phone"!

What's an "Obama Phone"?

Well it's actually not a phone created by the president or the administration! It's a program created by the federal government to allow poor or lower class Americans access to phones in case of emergencies.

But you couldn't tell that to any Republican or their conservative allies. They're obsessed that the president allows 47% of the nation become broke, lazy, losers who want their "gubmint gibbs mes" and we the American "patriot" will have to pay for this!

Matt Drudge is a notorious race baiter!

First things first, you already know that once this woman's name is mentioned through the internet, she'll be getting death threats from some deranged individual. This gives conservatives and White supremacists the notion to discount "all Blacks as gubmint dependent gibbs me types!" Rest assure some White supremacists website has linked the article and they're already trying to say that Blacks are always like this!

Listen Republicans! You're going to energize the Black vote the more you and your buddies in the conservative media attack the president or the Black community!

You try your hardest to discredit the Black vote!

You think the Blacks are "racist" for overwhelmingly supporting the president! If you would line up a candidate who could appeal to Black voters, then maybe "COUNT ZERO" would be able to chip into President Barack Obama base!

Thursday afternoon, the gay conservative agitator Matt Drudge splashed this Black woman over his page with the headlines: "Obama Has My Vote, He Gave Me A Free Phone!"

Since this was posted on The Drudge Report, it already gotten attention from Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Mark Levin, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Neal Boortz, and the rest of the right wing agitating machine.

AlterNet has given a similar take to what I've determined this "scandal" is made out to be!

They've publish the majority of the million people who viewed the video didn't know was that these “Obama Phones” are actually a creation of their beloved Ronald Reagan, who began the program  in 1984.

Actually called the “Lifeline program,” the legislation permits some households to receive a free landline under Congress’s rationale   that "telephone service provides a vital link to emergency services, government services and surrounding communities."

That idea dates back to 1934, under the Communications Act, but Reagan was the first to actually implement the legislation. The program grew under President Clinton, who recognized the advent of the newfangled new technology of cordless phones and expanded it to include cell phones.

To qualify for the program you must live in a household with an income near the poverty line or be already qualified for other assistance programs like public housing or food stamps.

Sounds like a very rational program. But in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election it has suddenly become the embodiment of the disgraceful government dependence of the poor and in particular, minorities.

The video reeks of welfare queen stereotypes, down to the “angry black woman.”

The right wing rants about the "Obama Phone!"

In another example of Rush Limbaugh’s ignorance, he first assumed that the women was actually a man--highlighting her supposed lack of femininity--and was then corrected.

White supremacists responded to the video on the site Stormfront by writing, “racial inferiority on display” and calling the woman a “talking baboon.” The slew of racist responses to the video prompted the Atlantic  to write a story teasing out “just how racist” the video is.

This latest outrage from the conservatives also co-exist with this denial of national polls stating that President Barack Obama is beating Mitt Romney in the election.

The people who work at Free Government Phones Services put forth a statement dismissing the notion of this being an "Obama Phone" program.

The free government cell phone program is helping millions of low income Americans. But unlike those worthy millions, there are thousands of scam artists who bring shame to the program. Like the woman in this video, for example, who is wasting money that could be used to supply cell phones for Americans who really deserve them.

As if that weren’t bad enough, she mistakenly refers to her free government cell phones as an “Obama Phones” As we’ve discussed in great depth, that an inaccurate name. They could just as easily be called Clinton Phones or Bush Phones. See our write-up on the Obama Phone.

It’s a shame that this no-viral video was prominently featured on the Drudge Report this morning and hundreds of other sites today that are not understanding of the Lifeline free government cell phone program and how it helps millions of needy Americans. Detractors are now going to use it to try and defund the program. In fact, our site’s traffic is up 10-fold today already, as people searching for Obama Phone land on our pages.

We hope you’ll help us defend this valuable program. If you know someone who has a free government cell phone, but doesn’t qualify for it, please report them. Or, if you know someone who has multiple free government cell phones, please report them.

Since the day Barack Obama was inaugurated, the term “The Obama Phone” has persisted. People say Obama is redistributing the wealth by starting a program that gives free cell phones – Obama phones – to the poor. Detractors of both President Obama and of the government’s long-standing phone assistance program have fought over this claim since 2009 with each side mudslinging “facts” at each other.

FreeGovernmentCellPhones.net is going to clear this subject up once and for all with the most detailed account of the facts that you will find anywhere. When you next have a discussion on this topic, just give those on the other side the link to this page.

Keep the free government cell phone program strong and honest. Report scammers.

Notice Something In The Picture?

This is one of the many insults to the first African American president. And it's going to get worse.

Republicans are conceding that it's very likely that President Barack Obama will win reelection.
