WASHINGTON -- Turns out President Obama would like a phone upgrade.
The president, in an unscripted moment with donors in Chicago, was talking about the need to innovate in technology.
"The Oval Office, I always thought I was going to have really cool phones and stuff," he said during a small fundraising event at a Chicago restaurant. "I'm like, c'mon guys, I'm the president of the United States. Where's the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up? It doesn't happen."
The president made his off-the-cuff remarks with donors as he took questions and after reporters had been ushered out of the event. But the question and answer session was piped back to Washington by mistake and into the press briefing area where a few reporters were still working late.

Yeah, it's the people who make $200,000 and up that create the conflict. We all know that.
Never get off the teleprompter Barry, never.
Unreal. So Skippy is disappointed because he doesn’t have a “cool” phone, a pop-up big screen, and the super secret magic decoder ring with laser fly zapper?
Oh, how he just LOVES all the trappings and perks of the office. And how he LOATHES having to do any real work other than self-aggrandizing speechifying.
How much longer can the MSM protect this empty suit, anyway?
Obama: “But you know part of the reason is that the per capita income of Qatar is $145,000 a year. That will dampen a lot of conflict.”
Interesting....One wonders if this is a disappointment to Mr. Obama.
We are doomed. This guy is only in the job for the perks.
Country is going to hell and we have a freshman in office....what...a....d*ck.
What a pathetic fool.......
When is he ever in the oval office???????????
Another clue the messiah has the mental age and ego of a 14 yr old
The guy is such a tool. I’m sure it’s painful just to be in the room with him. Ble-ech.
You are what people think you are, you are no president.
Temporary occupant of the Oval Office is even a stretch.
It’s like we elected Doogie Howser as President.
He has a Blackberry. Isn’t that a phone?
First president in our history to start a sentence with the adolescent preface, “I’m like...”
Worse, a bratty 14 yr old who thinks every stupid thing he does is absolutely adorable. You know he thought he was cute when he was saying this.
Obama makes me sick to my stomach. To me, it is still virtually incomprehensible that such a self-obssessed, airheaded, psychotic freak should be occupying the Presidency of the US.
no, douggie howser was a boy genius. we elected zaphod beeblebrox.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the (current holder of the office of) President supplied with, and surrounded by (including above and below) the LATEST TECHNOLOGY on the planet??????????
Naw, Doogie was at least smart...
