The Homeless Scam

What's wrong with this picture...?

These people are in line at a soup kitchen. First Lady Michelle Obama showed up Thursday as a surprise and welcome volunteer at Miriam's Kitchen, a soup kitchen for homeless poor people not far from the White House.

She brought with her some food donated by White House staff. The first lady served up mushroom risotto and broccoli to a long line of homeless men and women during part of her lunch hour and in these photos poses for a picture by one homeless diner obviously excited to be in the first lady's presence.

However, I have two questions:

1. If this unidentified meal recipient is too poor to buy his own food, how does he afford a cell phone?

2. And if he is homeless, where do they send the cell phone bills?

  1. Food is a fake con to appear to help the poor,..
    but it perpetuates poverty, not eliminate it...

    It is fake help, not real help, only cash is real help....
