Uh-oh. Adviser says Obama’s an iPod guy

Just when you thought President-Elect Obama could buck the common trend and be his own man by sporting a Zune, a close adviser states he’s an iPod fanboy. Sorry, Zune boys. It looks like your main man isn’t that big of a maverick after all.

Instead, he clarified Obama’s position as an Apple fan and an owner of an iPod, which he most often uses when working out.

Zune or iPod, we don’t care. Everyone already knows that the President-Elect gets his main gadget news from the weekly CrunchGear podcast, which plays fine on both options.

  • The fact that this had to be clarified is pathetic.

  • He could use both. The fact that he uses an iPod doesn’t mean that he can’t have a Zune too.

    Only using a Zune would have brought us real change.

    (I’m an Obama supporter, but I just think that using a Zune only would make mean even more ‘change’)

    If those mac-users really thought different, they would use a Zune.

  • One major question…

    Why does anybody care? Do you honestly think the president using a Zune will make him the best president the US has ever seen?

  • I read a book called “The Audacity of Deceit”. It explains how Barack’s plans on the issues are wrong, but besides that, it stated that Barack did have an iPod and Jay-Z was in his playlist. Barack described Jay-Z as being an intelligent man. Then there were some clips of Jay-Z’s lyrics that Barack listens too…

    1) I dont luv dem I jus f**k dem.
    2) I be all up on dat b*tch
    3) I f**k dat b*tch wit no rubber

    I honestly couldn’t stop laughing because if we think Jay-Z is intelligent there is something wrong with us.

  • Don’t you idiot have better things to deal with?

  • Wait a minute….by using a Microsoft product, you’re considered a “maverick” and by using an Apple product, you’re considered one of the masses. When did the tables change?

    Last week a friend and I got in a good-humored argument where he was defending his using Windows. It wasn’t long ago that I had to do that about my Mac. Again, when did the tables change?

    • In the PMP world, Apple is the big boy on the block. The iPod is the media player that the masses have chosen.

      The tables haven’t turned. You’re just trying to lump two different markets into one. Mac/Windows use has nothing to do with PMP use.

  • After this past election and all of its throwing around, can we all agree never to use the word “maverick” again, please?
