Interesting Photo......
In line at a soup kitchen but he has a cell phone.......
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.
It doesn't detract from the first lady's generous gesture or the real needs she seeks to highlight to ask two bothersome journalistic questions about these news photos:
If this unidentified meal recipient is too poor to buy his own food, how does he afford a cell phone? And if he is homeless, where do they send the cell phone bills

More like a question of moral importance... Seems many still don't know the difference between needs and wants

Come on guys it's just a cell phone. My company donates old cell phones to those in need every year since all cell phones are able dial 911 without the need of a carrier plan or your own cell number for that matter. It's a FCC requirement.

it just point out that the "poverty line in the US is a very crooked line. Cars, cellular phones, jewelry, fancy footwear/designer clothes, wide screen tv's, cable/satellite etc...all are part of the possessions of the "poor" in the US. Its basically a mess and people's personal priorities are equally screwed up.

Or maybe the guy knew that the First Lady would be there and wanted to take a pic of her. I would do that.
