An iPhone is hardly "the phone of the masses" now, is it? It says in the article he uses a Blackberry. And he did an AMA on Reddit the other week, so out of touch he most certainly is not.

Coito,
An iPhone is hardly "the phone of the masses" now, is it? It says in the article he uses a Blackberry. And he did an AMA on Reddit the other week, so out of touch he most certainly is not.

He has? Or, have you just assumed it? Evidence?Ayaan wrote:The President has shown he knows how to use technology and social media. McCain and many others have not.

Yer right. The other guy believe he will inherit a planet when he dies, so that's better than being a tiny bit of a Luddite.Nibbler wrote:He can't use feckin' Twitter or something, need there be another reason we shouldn't vote for him!?Gawdzilla Sama wrote:Is this really the best you can come up with?Coito ergo sum wrote:I knew there would be rationalizations.

Keep the rationalizations coming. Gaffe after gaffe, none of them matter because we all "know" he's just dreamy.Kristie wrote:Being able to use a computer is different than being able to use a specific phone the first time you try.Coito ergo sum wrote:I think the idea is that his opponents have been lambasted previously for similar gaffe's...like McCain and his sparse familiarity with computer usage.Kristie wrote:I didn't know how to place a call on hubby's when he first got it.Coito ergo sum wrote:Can't use an iPhone.... http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/ins ... le-iphone/

We do indeed. If you have a problem with that, go home and dial 211.

Re: Has Obama totally fucking lost the plot?
I think it's pretty lame that he couldn't figure out an Iphone right away, but I've always been really good with technology.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun

Runs an entire country, so he should have time to get a toy right the first time?

I realize Obama ought not be held to the same standard, because we know he's all dreamy and whatnot, but come on....

Hubby is an insanely smart computer geek that is self taught and figures stuff out way faster than most people. He had the iPhone for about a week before he knew how to click over to answer another incoming call. I think I'm actually the one that figured it out for him.

Re: Has Obama totally fucking lost the plot?
I have never used an iPhone. I've considered buying one, but I wouldn't use it much. I assume I could figure out how to use it, but who knows.
