ABCNews’ embedded press dudes report intrepidly from the frontlines of the SHUTDOWN, “where about 3 of 4 [White House] staffers have been furloughed, barred even from checking the BlackBerrys they usually clutch like worry beads.”

!!!! Oh my!!!

In the name of everything holy, can they just leave the darned Obamaphones out of this?

I assume, like the Catholic priests barred from saying Mass, that these staffers risk checking their semi-divine BlackBerrys upon pain of arrest.

In the the name of the father, son and holy text message, email or instant message, how will White House staffers re-write CIA Talking Points now? On the back of cocktail napkins?

The obvious idiocy of the federal government and our media is on display is all this:

Who the heck STILL uses BlackBerrys, anyway, the dumbest smartphone of them all?

BlackBerrys will go down to distinction as being the only smartphone that didn’t figure out how to make a profit on the proliferation of data via cellular networks.

Instead they are nearly bankrupt, and likely won’t survive in the current form.

“Some commentators suggest that the company's neglect of the consumer market,” writes IT Pro Portal.com, “and its attempt to make BlackBerry the device most bought by companies for their employees, was the beginning of a sharp decline. With the rise of bring your own device policies, or BYOD, the line between the business and personal device has become ever more blurred. BlackBerry has been slaughtered in the marketplace as a result, despite being the device of choice for US President Barrack Obama.”

Mr. Obama has issued his edict to instill pain upon the People. Should his minions cease and desist?
 
When it comes to connecting to your outlook email servers with the fed, Blackberry is the only game in town.
 
Anyone who wants to listen to what the far right losers at Townhall.com have to spew about anything have my permission to do so.

Just keep in mind that you will find zero fair and balanced reporting there.

O dear God, the Obamaphone meme. This is as goofy as investigating the closing of government by Issa.

Another OP from the conservative Totally Fact-Free Zone.

Lol...oh no I'm sure there are far more "credible " sources out there that no one reads.....or watches.

But back to the Obama-phone.

The issue with Obama phones isn't the fact that Gub'ment has been subsidizing phone service for people, and for quite some time.

Its that blabbering lady, standing out there essentially pimping free cell phones for a vote for Obama.

She is the epitome of your average Obama voter and is just the type of voter the Democrats have targeted as their primary supporters.

She represents the corrupted premise that our Govt exist for the sole purpose of providing its citizens free ****.

She had no character, no integrity, no shame and no humility.

She personified the disturbing and growing sense of entitlement in this Country and all the Democrats have to do is make sure she contiues to recieve what ever it is she thinks she needs....

Especially around election time. She didn't see anything wrong with what she was proposing. Vote gor Obama get free ****.

The problem for the Democrats is they have yet to realize that there is a price to be paid for appealing to the lowest common denominator.

Let me put it this way, the problem with Socialism, Progressivism, Liberalism, etc is you run out of other peoples money to buy those free phones, free housing, free utilities and free food.

You never run out of money as long as you have some paper, ink, and a printing press.
 
My problem with the Obamaphone, is it is more costly than the original program of land lines.

I wonder how many people have us tax payers paying for both....

Another problem is that it's totally fictitious. But that never stopped tea partiers from repeating such nonsense.

I understand what you mean.

the program was implemented long ago to give free telephone service to the poor.

Land lines!

Like I said, "I wonder how many people have both."

For a what we consider a critical service today, is it necessary to expand it to free cell phones? Cell phones cost so much more than land lines. I can accept socializing minimum services to the poor. Cell phones are not minimum service.

No frills land line are very cheap, with unlimited local calling. Cell phones are not so cheap on the infrastructure.
