Obama Can’t Figure Out an iPhone – Blames Supporter

Haha … Backwards man…

The Washington Times reported:

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

The president had stopped at a campaign office in Port St. Lucie, Fla., to thank volunteers. Then, for the cameras, Mr. Obama was supposed to call two campaign workers who were out working on his behalf.

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.

Finally, Mr. Obama said, “Oh, I got to dial it in. Hold on, hold on. I can do this. See, I still have a BlackBerry.”

The president then “had a little more trouble dialing,” the pool report said.

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.

Of course, if this happened to Mitt Romney it would be all over the networks this morning.

“It’s not clear he knows how to dial on an iPhone,” wrote the White House pool reporter after the President failed to make a call to volunteers from a campaign office in Port St. Lucie, FL, the Washington Times reports.

Flashback 2010: V.P. Joe Biden Forecasts Growth of 500,000 New Jobs a Month

Is there a reason why VP Joe is being left on the street corner to fend for himself? BIDEN LEFT OUT OF TOP CAMPAIGN MEETINGS…

Not only did it never happen, it never came close.

Vice President Biden predicted Friday that the U.S. economy would be adding up to 500,000 jobs each month “some time in the next couple of months.” Biden said he “got in trouble” for his prediction last month of job growth.

“Even some in the White House said, ‘Hey, don’t get ahead of yourself,’ ” he said at a Pennsylvania fundraiser, according to a pool report.

“Well, I’m here to tell you, some time in the next couple of months, we’re going to be creating between 250,000 jobs a month and 500,000 jobs a month. “We caught a lot of bad breaks on the way down,” Biden added.

“We’re going to catch a few good breaks because of good planning on the way up.” Most forecasters had expected about 200,000 jobs to be created in March.

Instead, 162,000 jobs were created on non-farm payrolls — the biggest one-month gain in three years but below what economists were predicting. The difference was largely attributable to fewer people than expected being hired by the government as census workers. But analysts said the numbers also illustrated the slow and wobbly nature of the ongoing economic recovery. A prediction of 500,000 jobs a month would be considered optimistic.

VP Joe … stay home.
