iObama!

OK, whilst we intend to generally refrain from commenting on the non-iPhone-development related doings of our much-beloved neighbours to the south, we figure this is tangentially related enough to deserve mention: Apparently this “Obama” fellow, whom we gather is running for some political position or other down there, is an iPhone user! Check out just after 1:10 in this clip and see him pull what is clearly an iPhone out of his pocket.

Not that we would presume to push our opinions upon anybody, of course, but if you’re an American voter and don’t have any strong feelings yet on whom you want for whatever job this “Obama” chap wants to do, we think that clearly the candidates’ choice of Apple product should be a consideration of the utmost gravitas, don’t you? Certainly, there’s nothing we’ll give more weight to next time there’s a Canadian election!
