It was his program or else they wouldn't be referred to as Obama phones, duhhh. Also wireless calling wasn't as advanced or anywhere near capable of allowing Jamal to call his baby mamma or order more crack from Colombians (they didn't have the reception then) so nice try with the racist attempt at denying Obama his achievement
So you didnt say Jamal here? You are the racist for assuming Jamal has a baby momma and does crack.

Obama phones, Community organizing, and giving them a symbol that they can rise to the highest office in the landTake your pick I've got more
He didn't do a very good job of that though, did he? I mean a large portion of them still believe that the system is so stacked against them that they won't be able to amount to anything legitimately. If he actually accomplished what you describe then it seems there'd be far less cries of "systemic racism".

EDIT: Oh and one more thing, in this era the retractions of comments tend to get way way less exposure than the original comments. This is especially true on twitter. Someone will tweet out something, get thousands of retweets. A few days later they realize they were wrong and tweet the mistake the made. It will get like 100 retweets. There is a disturbing number of times this has happened with major news networks.
The absolute *perfect* example of this, that really knocks the point home:
Fake photo connecting Trump to white nationalist goes viral — there’s just one massive problem
Photo wasn't real, the last few sentences speak volumes:
"But the damage was already done. Sanchez’s first tweet garnered nearly 28,000 retweets and nearly 34,000 “likes.” His correction? Just a fraction of that: 500 retweets."
Typical.
