THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Barack Obama has complained that the White House is "30 years behind" in its technology, and has disappointed him with its lack of "really cool phones and stuff".
Often compared to Star Trek's Dr Spock because of his super-calm demeanour, it appears the President of the United States indeed expected the Oval Office to resemble the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.
He told donors at a fund-raising event in his home town Chicago: "We can't get our phones to work."
Expressing his exasperation, he said: "Come on, 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. I always thought I was going to have like really cool phones and stuff." » | Alex Spillius, Washington | Friday, April 15, 2011
My comment:
What a pathetic president of the US of A he is! "Really cool phones and stuff" indeed! This is teentalk! This wretch is supposed to be the leader of the free world. He shouldn't have time to worry about his image, and smart technology. The world is in turmoil: revolutions in north Africa and the Middle East; earthquakes and tsunami in Japan; uprisings in much of Africa; and the world economy is in the tank. Yet the best this young man can do is worry about his smart technology. Pathetic! Pathetic! Pathetic! – © Mark
