   ‘Obama pays your bills’ scam claims more victims    By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News | The Lookout – 1 hr 18 mins agoPresident Obama speaks at a solar field in Nevada, March 21, 2012 (Julie Jacobson/AP)     A multistate identity theft scam that claims President Barack Obama will pay your utility bills appears to have widened.
According to MSNBC.com, more than 2,000 customers in Tampa, Fla., fell for the fake offer last week.
The scheme was first reported in May, when Dallas-based Atmos Energy warned its 3 million customers in 12 states that scammers had been asking for Social Security numbers to enroll in the faux federal program. According to the pitch—distributed via email, Facebook, text message, phone and, in some cases, door-to-door sales—the government would pay a month of energy costs through credits offered by the Obama administration.
PSE&G, the New Jersey gas and electric delivery utility, issued a similar warning the same month. According to MSNBC, there were 10,000 reported victims in New Jersey in recent weeks, and thousands more in North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
The offer even includes a fake Federal Reserve bank routing number for those who enroll, and solicits "success stories" to pass along to friends online.
According to the Lehigh Valley Morning Call, some residents said that their duped neighbors were enlisted to spread the offer. "My neighbor comes running with a paper that had a routing and account number," Caroline Morales of Bethlehem, Penn., told the paper. "She said Obama was helping people pay their utility bills, mortgage and any bills you had."
Although various government programs to assist low-income households with their utility bills do exist, Snopes.com notes, "there is no government program that provides blanket grants to cover everyone's utility bills in full for a whole month."

Potentially very interesting, unfortunately.This could mean a lot of expenses for power companies related to collection of delinquent payments. Then they look like the bad guy because they weren't "on board with Obama's relief plan".

They may have been right. The way jobs have dried up for some communities, the government is paying their bills because they lost their house and everything, and now they're on welfare.

Here in my state of Arkansas, Obama will get no electoral votes so you folks in CA, NY, FL, and others with numerous votes will be the deciding factor.  Ob doesn't even campaign in AR because he knows it would be a waste of time.  Most here are not buying his BS but apparently enough people did in other states to put him in office.

I remember some vids with elated folks believing that Obama would pay there bills including their car payments. ha ha. Sadly they voted as well. ::)
 
Then there was this woman that when asked just from where Obama gets the money to pay her Bills she answered " I don't know, maybe from his own stash"
 
They vote and breed ! :o :o
