Tech challenge: Obama has trouble with iPhone
The Washington Times ^ | September 9, 2012 | Dave Boyer

Posted on 09/09/2012 10:33:33 PM PDT by george76

On the campaign trail, President Obama is constantly talking about the importance of technology, but he met his match in an iPhone Sunday.

...

But when White House trip director Marvin Nicholson handed the president his personal iPhone, Mr. Obama couldn't get it to work. A reporter who witnessed the scene said the president looked "befuddled."

"It's not clear he knows how to dial on an iPhone," the reporter wrote in a pool report.

I don’t know how this is news. I’m 26 and I’m pretty sure I couldn’t navigate my way around the iPhone.

He’s used to a Blackberry, which has actual buttons on it. Speed dial comes in handy when you need to get your marching orders from Spooky Dude.

Can this happen to the smartest man ever? Oh, that would be a big NO. IdiOt knows how to lie, how to finger point, how to threaten, how to pout, how to bow to foreigh leaders, but he can’t operate a phone. Typical Dem

I am okay with my iPhone. I hope to get the new one since the first issue to me is quite heavy. My hubby is a whiz with his iPhone. I am not going to knock him for this. Some reporters are getting way too nick picking.

This sounds like it was written by a gay guy trying to make conservatives look petty and vindictive. I can criticize Obamao for a multitude of things, but not being able to operate an iPhone...seriously?

The president then has more trouble dialing. When the call didn't go through, he blamed Mr. Nicholson for having an insufficient cell phone plan.


As usual, when Barry's confronted by a problem which his feeble intellect is unable to solve, he resorts to blaming others for his failure.

Ding ding ding...we have a winner. Absolutely correct.

My liberal friends tonight first said, “what is the Washington Times?”

I had to point out it is a small, conservative paper in D.C., but reminded them if this was Romney, the Washington Post would have it front and center along with everyone else.

You were here and now you’re gone
Hey did I do something wrong?
I just can’t believe that I could be so badly mistaken
Was it me or was it you?
Tell me, are we really through?
Won’t you hear me cry and you will know that my heart is breaking

Please forgive and then forget
Or maybe darling better yet, oh-oh

Ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?

"This sounds like it was written by a gay guy trying to make conservatives look petty and vindictive." Interesting that you say that, because if you follow that article to the end, it's pretty interesting what Obama's final remarks were: The president then has more trouble dialing. When the call didn't go through, he blamed Mr. Nicholson for having an insufficient cell phone plan. A volunteer called out, "I'll give you my phone, call my wife." "I'll call her and tell her that you're messing around here in the office, giving the president …." Mr. Obama said, his voice trailing off. Giving the president what, Mister Obama?

I criticize Obama for a lot of things, but I don’t care if he has trouble using his electronic gadget. Perhaps the media is trying to distract readers from the bad things about Obama that really matter.
