The Right and the Racist Right (Is there a difference anymore?) made a big stink out of this video in which this stupid Black woman says, “Vote for Obama. He will give you a free cellphone.”
The video is regrettable, but a lot of these ghetto types are not very bright, and they can usually be counted on to say something completely retarded that makes their entire race and the Democratic Party that they drag along look bad. Stupid people will say stupid things, and now in the era of ubiquitous videophones, it is trivial to record idiots making fools of themselves. There’s nothing to be done about this because stupid people can’t really help being stupid. Furthermore, they are part of a culture that isn’t exactly diplomatic about promoting a good self-image.
Anyway, people can probably go out with armed with cellphone cameras and record idiotic ghetto Blacks making fools of themselves and possibly making the Left and the Democrats look bad, so it’s almost pointless to respond to these conservative liberal-bait videos.
The truth about Obamaphones, is, as usual, not so simple. First of all, that’s not any ordinary cellphone. It’s an Obamaphone.
And guess what?
That Obamaphone barely even works. My girlfriend had one of those. They suck. They only have 200-300 minutes a month on them and then they don’t work anymore. It’s just sort of an emergency phone really. You can’t use it like a normal cellphone. I remember when she had it, she would call me and say, “Call me back. I have my Obamaphone.” She was always saying she couldn’t call me and couldn’t talk on the phone because she had an Obamaphone and she didn’t want to waste any minutes. So I always had to call her. Her basic attitude was that the Obamaphone was crap but that it was ok as an emergency phone, which is all it was intended for.
Apparently Obama decided that everyone ought to have an emergency phone, and I agree with this logic.
Another fake rightwing issue they made up, just like all of them.
