New York (CNNMoney) – Looking for ways to lift America out of a downward economic spiral, President Obama made a lot of promises in his State of the Union addresses ... and he even kept many of them.
Obama was more successful in pushing his policy goals through Congress in the first half of his first term, when both chambers were in Democratic control. By the time he gave his first address before Congress in 2009, he had already secured the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and put in place a program to assist homeowners facing foreclosure. By midterm, he wrestled lawmakers into approving two other landmark pieces of legislation that dominated his early addresses: health care and Wall Street reform.

The U.S. government spent about $2.2 billion last year to provide phones to low-income Americans, but a Wall Street Journal review of the program shows that a large number of those who received the phones haven't proved they are eligible to receive them.

I only have two words to say. It worked!
Free stuff for everyone.....yep, the chief looter giving to the moochers. Continuing the "fundamental transformation of America."
I do hope we don't have to watch Bonehead scowl through the entire speech.
Btw, Moose and Co. I don't know who you think are getting the free cell phones because I don't know anyone that has one, but you might want to check out your local trailer parks.
Does anyone know how to get free cable??? Is Obama giving that away too??
