It wasn't an Obama era program. Simple as that. Obama should get hell for the ACA and other programs, no reason to assign things that he didn't do that are easy to figure out. Gives Democrats an easy redirection on all arguments when you falsely accuse them of things they didn't do.

Obama expanded the program in 2009 to include cell phones. Before that the basic communication requirement was met through subsidized land lines. So yes, the free cell phones are Obama phones.

I'm still surprised my brother didn't go to jail for his part in the Obama phones 15 years ago.

I remember them being called Obama phones. I sure there was a reason for that. What I don't remember is, was that one phone per house or was everyone in the house able to get a Obama phone?
