White House releases official app for free

The White House (as in, the home of the American President Barack Obama) has introduced a brand new iPhone app, according to White House blogger Dave Cole. The app is a one-stop shop for everything there is to know about what the president's up to, including blog posts, a newsroom, photos, videos, and even live feeds from various events, including speeches and even press room briefings. It's actually pretty darn impressive -- obviously you're only going to get official White House news, but if you want uncut video of the goings on over there, you've got it.

The app is a free download [iTunes link], and in my short hands-on with it, it worked very well -- the updates come often, the video is crisp and clean, and while I didn't get to view any of the live feeds, I presume they'll work just fine over a solid 3G or Wi-Fi connection. If you want direct access to official White House news, this app is perfect.

...well at least by voting in Obama we got to show the rest of the world what kind of forward-thinking people we are. AND how apologetic we are. AND how willing we are to bend over backwards to accomodate the dregs of society into "our" culture and change it to fit their needs. I sent my "Haiti" $$$ to the ACORN charity so they might redistribute it to the crackheads in MY hood.

I hope this thing keeps a running tally of how many times BO says, "me", " I", or inherited from the last adminstration".

Communism? There's an ap for that. Sensorship? There's an ap for that. Propoganda? There's an ap for that. Dishonesty? There's an ap for that. Hey, maybe this thing will actually scroll what's on his teleprompter, so you can be right there with him. Maybe they will come up with an ap that lets us into congress' health care discussions! There's a novel idea!

Logan:
In case you thought you were right, WRONG. John McCain never said he didn't know how to use a computer. It was just said as all the other lies from the liberals. John McCain Can use a computer, the only thing he cannot do is use his arms and hands as most people. Ever watched him speak? Notice how he doesn't raise his arms like others and certainly doesn't YELL like the Liberals, he talks in a normal voice. O.K. now you can go right on and continue lieing just as BHO does everytime he opens his mouth.
