Remember in the fall of 2009 when thousands turned out in Michigan try and get free “Obama money?” Well, it’s happened again — but this time it could be a scam.
Responding to a local rumor, people are standing in line for hours, turning over valuable personal information and expecting to receive a government handout in New York City. If this sounds familiar, it is. Back in the fall of 2009, thousands of people stood in line in Michigan expecting to be given some Obama money. It never arrived.
Fast forward two-and-a-half years. This time, people in NYC are lining up because they heard that people were getting a debit card loaded with as much as $1,000 of stimulus money. However, based on the latest information, there is no money to be given away. And yet people continue to line up and turn over their sensitive, personal information.

Most of the losers lining up for 'free money' don't understand economics and have credit reports and scores that are so bad that they HOPE someone steals their identity. The sense of entitlement that drives them to seek ANOTHER avenue of entitlement also allows them to rationalize not paying their valid debts. The rest of us are too busy AT OUR JOBS to stand in lines for hours waiting on a check. WE are getting a check anyway, but its one we actually earned....
This might be a good idea, though. If the conservatives can convince the minorities that there are Obamachecks coming out 3 months before the election, and then none come, it could drive the dummies to not vote for bigears!
