I heard that Obama will be the very first President to have a computer on his desk in the oval offic

[Winterblues]

I find that almost shocking.. I know Bush* can't figure out how to use one but I would have thought Clinton would have had one.. :crazy:

[DS1]

1. It's going to be the greatest Apple commercial ever

assuming they let him use one

[codjh9]

10. 'Let' him? I think The Big O will use whatever he WANTS to!

[DS1]

11. Like his Blackberry?

not so fast

[codjh9]

12. Ahh... OK... I'd heard something about him possibly not being able to email, but hadn't

read the details. Before I read the details, I'd actually thought it was simply because he wouldn't have TIME as the prez to be sending email.

[slackmaster]

2. That is a bit of a shocker

Not even the Big Dog had one, eh?

[codjh9]

3. Oh c'mon - didn't Bush have one of those Fisher-Price ones? :^)

[crappyjazz]

5. He had an Etchasketch

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. No.

That was an Etch-A-Sketch. I hear he's a wiz at making smiley faces and middle fingers.

[rurallib]

8. Doesn't W counting on his fingers count?

"One-brazillion, two-brazillion, three brazillion....."

[Deep13]

4. Bush's X-Box doesn't count? nt

[Captain Hilts]

14. You get the prize. nt

[HereSince1628]

7. Do most presidents actually work in the oval office? I thought it was mostly ceremonial

[MineralMan]

9. Bush would have had one, but

He can't read the small type on the screen without pictures.

[NOW tense]

13. Does this mean he will be posting on DU with some inventful name?

[Deep13]

15. O-yeah44?

:shrug:

[But....]

16. Barrack...

is that you?:smoke:

[NOW tense]

18. ChilltheFout44

[Double T]

17. Old School is no longer occupying the OO.

[MadinMo]

19. Plus he carries a briefcase, or maybe that is his computer.

Still, I do like to see him carrying his "work" with him.

[guitar man]

20. nope, not true

W* was the first, he had this one. ;)

[cobalt1999]

21. Probably most didn't have one so there would be no hard audit trail of requests & responses

Even if you didn't have one for email, you'd think they'd want one just for Google and Porn. :)

[INDIA]

22. Great, now he's going to spend all day looking on www.icanhascheezburger.com nt

[suston96]

23. I don't think Bill Clinton can type. He wrote everything - speeches, books on yellow pads.. nt
