But that's not the point.
When Regan, Clinton and Dubya were in office, NOBODY voted for them because they'd get a free phone.
Today, however, we get legions of entitlement babies who DO vote for such reasons.
Outrage may be misplaced. But the term "disgust" does come to mind.

For both of you.. This crap has likely always existed. It's just modern technology which has allowed us to videotape it and use the internet to spread it as quickly and cheaply.
Do I think it's bad? Of course. But it isn't really any worse than her voting for him because he's black, or other people not voting for him because he's black. Or people not voting for him because his name is too close to "osama".
Idiots have ALWAYS had full-blown retard reasons for voting or not voting for an individual. And these full-blown retard reasons usually start with misinformation. This woman was misinformed that obama gave her a phone, she wants a new phone, so she'll vote obama. Other people are voting against obama based on misinformation.
Why rail against people acting in their own best interest (something I've come to expect from 98.2% of the population), when it's more productive to 1 - ensure that as many people as possible have CORRECT information to make decisions in their best interest; and 2 - find a way to align their best interests with your own.
