Five pages easy.

Obama is on blackberry...patience my young padawan, soon on iPhone he'll be, as the next US President.

Jul 21, 08 - 02:33 pm Comment from: oh no my shorts

McCain is yet another Republican candidate who can't do it for himself and has no clue what it's like to live in the 21st century.

I'll bet he has aides to put his pants on in the morning:
'When aides are responding... the incentive to puts your pants on yourself sort of disappears."

". . . go on for me. I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself . . . "

There's a sentence that Bush would have mangled.
Unfortunately, it also would have been pretty filthy.

maybe six pages.

Sounds about right...

There is 71 plus 46 jokes in that story but, it's best to just walk away.

The White House IT department doesn't support the iPhone yet!

Is Obama a PC user?

Actually, MDN, Obama has an iPhone (altho he is seen most often using a Blackberry) and he uses a MacBook to have iChat/AV conversations with his daughters when he is on the road. You might want to check into this.

Hum... I think most americans are pretty racists... it would be a wonder if they once get a black president.
Well, yet... some hope is allowed...

MDN: O'Bama is featured in a vid snipped using his iPhone - Google Obama using iPhone and you'll see in the Secret Diary of Steve Jobs a link to this

If I had both an iPhone and a Blackberry, and actually had used the iPhone, I certainly wouldn't carry and use the blackberry. I've had three or four different blackberries over about 4 years (for work) and I think they're all crap. I wonder if someone got him the iPhone to be cool and if he's ever used it.

Ok, I used "the Google" (as our esteemed Prez might say) to further pin-down the computer preferences of Obama. This from Mac.Blorge:

Bruce Springsteen, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jay-Z, Ludacris are just a sample of some the artists that make an appearance on his iPod... Recently, his wife bought two MacBook laptops one for the kids and one for Barack so they could have video chats over the internet. Obama’s campaign also uses Sproutit Mailroom (a Mac application) to manage Obama’s presidential campaign.

All this politician Mac/PC/ platform use is really dumb.

That's it... I'm voting for McCain.... JK

@almux,

Some of us Americans are ugly racists, also.

Oh the Humanity!!! How dare those Conservatives infiltrate a Liberal product!!! AAAAAAAA!!!!!!

How dare the savior Barack Obama use something so inferior that only Republicans should use. Aren't liberals smarter than that!! Steve, please, for the love of all things humanly sane, please, can you do anything to stop this atrocity!!

Jul 21, 08 - 02:51 pm Comment from: Me In LA

There's nothing wrong with the Blackberry...
MDN, don't be so damn stupid.
This is the type of story/take that makes you/us all look like idiots.
STOP.
Get a clue.
Relax.

Jul 21, 08 - 02:55 pm Comment from: jimmymac

haha. Should this come as any surprise to anyone? Us Republican's use Macs because we're smarter than you dumb ass DemocRats. heehee. And of course Osama uses a BLACKberry.
There is a fellow that comes around here with a shirt that reads "The darker the BERRY, the sweeter the juice".
Blackberry-Barak-Black-Muslim-Democrat---they all fit together so smuggly.

Obama loves BlackBerry because he's half black, too.

No vote. No way. No how.

If I knew then what I know now, I would've picked my own cotton.

I'm actually pretty proud of most of the commenters so far. Appreciate all your civility.

Jul 21, 08 - 02:59 pm Comment from: Woody

That's it. If McCain uses a Mac, I'm switching to... um... uh... a Timex-Sinclair 1000.

Actually, maybe I'll just go evangelize Obama. That would be easier. Get him on an iPhone, and he'll be on a Mac in no time.

"Hum... I think most americans are pretty racists... it would be a wonder if they once get a black president.
Well, yet... some hope is allowed..."

Hmmmm, you sound pretty prejudice yourself.

I am not voting against Obama because of his skin color. I am voting against him for being a liberal, a big spender, a supporter oh high gas prices, his idiotic stance regarding national security, his lack of experience, his relationships with dodgy people, his high spending tendencies, and his fondness for earmarks.

Well, I'm not impressed with McCain, but this doesn't surprise me at all about Obama. The guy is obviously clueless when it comes to most everything. He's definitely all talk and no substance.

How embarrassing for Apple. Two most unqualified men in America running for president use their products.

Gack

@Southern Voter,

is being a racist D*CKHEAD hard work for you, or does it just come naturally?

MDN, you REALLY need to monitor your blog better than this.

"Moby"

LOL!

Obama's racist preacher and advisor probably writes his White-hating diatribes on a Mac, too.

Michelle uses her Mac to write about how the White man enslaved her ancestors and how much she hates "Whitey" today.

Obama uses his Mac to write about how much he despises his White grandparents.

Yep, I'd have to agree there is a lot of racism in this political campaign!!!

@Southern Voter...

"If I knew then what I know now, I would've picked my own cotton."

If you knew then what you know now, you wouldn't even know how to pick cotton.

For me, it's those little ears. How could he hear anything with those!?!

Yeah, who is MDN to allow free speech at its site. I hear these guys are really chinese secret agents using PCs.

Hey, another slow day at the hit counter solved!!!!

"'He has a Mac and uses it several times a week."

Apparently he forgot. Yeah, let's put this guys finger on the trigger.

"I am not voting against Obama because of his skin color.

And the Republican Bush admin has really done wonders to gas prices, national security and public spending, not to mention all those dodgy people in there...

Irony is dead, indeed.

on display in this thread: the artful & erudite nature of the american political system in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...

release the hounds!

Actually, If he needs email he will need to keep his blackberry...mobileme is down and will be down for 3-4 days per Apple's own cust serv team....he's a business user so he can't afford shoddy, quasi-push service

McCain is an old dodderer. Conservatives were truly skunked by libs voting for him in the primaries, to the demise of Mitt Romney. Romney would have whacked Obama into a cocked hat in the general election. Obama is a socialist.

Now we have two libs running. Which is the best of two bad choices. Sadly - McCain.

What does Mitt use?

Jul 21, 08 - 03:38 pm Comment from: Maginary

@Sir Gill Bates:

At least there will be munitions to defend this nation if McCain is in office. Obama would really like Superman to fly all our defenses to the sun so they'll be destroyed, with our nation soon to follow.

I'm surprised either one actually uses a computer. They have so many people doing things for them, it really isn't necessary for them to do it.

@Quadcore..
I'm with you. Also, I think Obama's message of hope is inspiring..but we need solutions at this point not inspirational speeches devoid of the necessary experience needed to move the country forward.

"McCain is yet another Republican candidate who can't do it for himself and has no clue what it's like to live in the 21st century."

hey at least unlike Bush, McGrumpy can actually read....

Jul 21, 08 - 03:51 pm Comment from: Sir Gill Bates

Maginary,

From what I've seen, this nation uses it's munitions to bully the rest of the world and declare war on anyone it feels like.

Maybe if we didn't have all of those munitions we wouldn't be such a bunch of egotistical, self-centered braggarts.

Maybe then we would try to cooperate and work with the rest of the world. Maybe then we would get off our asses and solve some of our many problems and quit blaming them on everyone else.

Don't blame Obama for this countries demise. Blame those who are truly responsible: Every damn one of us.

Uh oh, Uh Oh said: "And the Republican Bush admin has really done wonders to gas prices, national security and public spending, not to mention all those dodgy people in there...."

'Scuse me Lucy, but gas has risen 75% since the DEMOCRATIC congress took control TWO YEARS ago!!!

And they plan on raising gas taxes as well. Look it up.

You dummy you.

I'm voting for Romney.

C'mon people. Step it up. These ridiculous, meaningless comments aren't going to just write themselves.
