Remember he wanted to keep using his blackberry? He is the biggest liar ever. I don’t know how a person can sit there and listen to his manipulating BS without calling him out.

Poor college kids. More ignorant after college than they were at birth.

Addressing the Hampton University graduating class, O said: " iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, -- none of which I know how to work...."

Maybe Steve Jobs will have Apple make a wide-screen version of the iPad for 0bama. We can call it the iPrompter.

Yeah, Ohaha is an admitted 'Crackberry Addict'.

But since I can't text message either and have never seen a Blackberry I don't know if that's 'series'. Or means he should know how to use that other stuff.

My phone 'can' send text messages but I'm just getting the hang of entering names correctly into my cell phone's phonebook correctly. So 'texting' for me is out of the question.

Maybe if the instruction manual wasn't in size 1 font, it would be a tad easier for me ;-)

Oh puh-leeze. Obama already makes Slick Willie seem like he was covered in glue. The point is that Obama suggests he's "Everyman" with his claims, and the mediabots will accept it as the One's cute little quirk and make no issue of his faked or real ignorance like they would if it were Bush (or any republican).

The point is than an iPod, as opposed to food, is a niche item. Music lovers, of all ages, nationalities, races, colors, creeds, across the political spectrum and rich, poor or middle class, swear by iPods. For those who get all the music they need on their car radio, iPods are just another plastic dust collector.

It's like riduculing somebody for either (loving / hating) anchovies on their pizza.

The point is that, when you ridicule an opponent and half of your target audience, either at a Communist Party, USA strategy session or at a Tea Party rally thinks, "Hey! Wait a minute. I represent that remark!", you are hurting yourself, not your opponent.

My iPod, (I was given one for my birthday two years ago) is a dust collector.

What does that say about my "Everyman" status, my politics, my finances or my belief system?

Absolutely nothing.

Have you read the rest of the thread, or any of it for that matter?

Have you seen the pictures of Obama with an I-pod on his belt and read the quotes of the president claiming his I-Pod use? THE POINT IS HE IS A LIAR.
