    Government Opening Free Gas Stations in Poor Neighborhoods                  Oct 29, 2013


    First 'Obama station' Debuts in Detroit , Seventy Planned Nationwide

    As the battle over Obamacare rages in Washington , the White House is quietly using a little known provision of the law to roll out a nationwide network of free gas stations for minorities and the poor.

    According to a report in The  Detroit News this morning, the administration is using its authority under the Affordable Care Act to "improve transportation routes to hospitals" to dispense gasoline free of cost in disadvantaged neighborhoods.

    The $2 billion-a-year program aims to distribute 40 million gallons of free gasoline each year through 70 new gas stations constructed in major metropolitan areas. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHS) will be responsible for operating the network, whose first station opened yesterday in Detroit

    "It's not something we're publicizing very much, for obvious reasons," explains Dori Salcido, assistant DHS secretary for public affairs. "But under the law we are well within our rights to offer this service, and we think it's good public policy.

    "How are people supposed to get to the doctor's office if they don't have gas in their cars? Health insurance is worthless if you can't make your appointment. This is just another fine example of government stepping in and solving big problems."

    No Gas for You

    Although some developing oil-rich nations like Venezuela and Indonesia subsidize gasoline for the poor, the practice has never before been tried in the United States. The plans are proving controversial with some taxpayers who are loathe to see their money go to subsidize others.

    "So basically I'm being punished for not living in the ghetto," says Colin Blair, a white person from the affluent Detroit suburb of Farmington Hills. "I have three kids and a mortgage. Life isn't cheap for me either. I could use some free gasoline too."

    An investigation into the station's operations, however, reveals that Blair is unlikely to be able to use the service.

    "Supposedly access to the station is determined by income," says Ebony Jackson, manager of the first Obama station. "But it's pretty unrealistic to do an income check on each and every driver. So what we do is basically let all the black people pump for free, and charge all the white people the market rate."

    The Obama stations scandal was uncovered by Nolan Finley, a conservative Detroit News columnist widely lauded for his groundbreaking exposéon Obama phones. Finley says the blatant racial bias in the program is only one of its many outrageous aspects.

    "The stations have Obama campaign logo on them and giant photos of the president," he explains. "He's trying to buy votes ahead of the midterm elections. This is something you normally only see in third world countries. I've never been more scared for our democracy."

    Snopes Say's this is true.....Send this along to all your friends.  We need to get this guy out of office before he destroys what's left of this wonderful country.......

  • I got this in my inbox the other day. It's great how they add "Snopes says this is true" so that you don't bother to check.

    In fact, Snopes says it is NOT TRUE. Originates from a satire website.

  • With Obama any communist horror is possible.
    If anyone says that true and natural water is not necessary for baptism and thus twists into some metaphor the words of our Lord Jesus Christ" Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Spirit" (Jn 3:5) let him be anathema.

  • The US govt was buying fuel for $2 a gallon in Iraq and then selling it back to Iraqi citizens for 5 cents. That was under Bush

    That would work here too, the US govt can buy gas for $5 a gallon and then sell it to illegal aliens for 2 cents.

    it is the white thing to do.

    Anywhere, you just have to pay $5 for it.
