Obama uses his Apple iPad to watch NBA basketball games (with video)

“In the video below, conducted for the ESPN B.S. Report podcast with Bill Simmons, Obama – who we’ve long known as an iPad user – explains how he often watches NBA League Pass on his iPad,” Edible Apple reports.

“Obama also delves into Jeremy Lin and the whole Linsanity craze while also pointing out that he’s been on the Lin bandwagon for quite a while since Arnie Duncan, Obama’s Secretary of Education, previously captained the Harvard Basketball team while a player there in the mid-80s,” Edible Apple reports. “While shooting hoops together once, Arnie told Obama, ‘We’ve got this terrific guard playing at Harvard.'”

    1. They don’t want Santorum in, or Romney for that matter. So in the absence of any credible candidate to support all they can do is fire nonsense abuse at the opposition. This is why they will lose in November.

      All a bit sad really. The GOP has millions of supporters across the US and this is what they’ve come to. How the Hell did the party get in this state?

        1. DON’T BOTHER WATCHING THE NEXT OSCARS …

          THE CHOSEN ONE HAS ALREADY WON IT FOR BEST ACTOR…

          Q: What’s the real problem with Barack Obama jokes?

          A: His followers don’t think they’re funny and….the rest of us don’t think they’re jokes.

        2. The Little Red Hen called all of her Democrat neighbors together and said, ‘If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?’

          ‘Not I,’ said the cow.

          ‘Not I,’ said the duck.

          ‘Not I,’ said the pig.

          ‘Not I,’ said the goose.

          ‘Then I will do it by myself,’ said the little red hen, and so she did. The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.

          ‘Who will help me reap my wheat?’ asked the little red hen.

          ‘Not I,’ said the duck..

          ‘Out of my classification,’ said the pig.

          ‘I’d lose my seniority,’ said the cow.

          ‘I’d lose my unemployment compensation,’ said the goose.

          ‘Then I will do it by myself,’ s aid the little red hen, and so she did.

          At last it came time to bake the bread.

          ‘Who will help me bake the bread?’ asked the little red hen.

          ‘That would be overtime for me,’ said the cow.

          ‘I’d lose my welfare benefits,’ said the duck.

          ‘I’m a dropout and never learned how,’ said the pig.

          ‘If I’m to be the only helper, that’s discrimination,’ said the goose.

          ‘Then I will do it by myself,’ said the little red hen.

          She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, ‘No, I shall eat all five loaves.’

          ‘Excess profits!’ cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)

          ‘Capitalist leech!’ screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)

          ‘I demand equal rights!’ yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)

          The pig just grunted in disdain. (Ted Kennedy)

          And they all painted ‘Unfair!’ picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.

          Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen,
          ‘You mustnot be so greedy.’

          ‘But I earned the bread,’ said the little red hen.

          ‘Exactly,’ said Barack the farmer. ‘That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle.’

          And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red hen, who smiled and clucked, ‘I am grateful, for now I truly understand.’

          But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again baked bread because she joined the ‘party’ and got her bread free. And all the Democrats smiled. ‘Fairness’ had been established.

          Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one cared…so long as there was free bread that ‘the rich’ were paying for.

          EPILOGUE

          Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs.

          Hillary got $8 million for hers.

          That’s $20 million for the memories from two people, who for eight years, repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn’t remember anything.

          IS THIS A GREAT BARNYARD OR WHAT?

    2. We have an extremist with a phony birth certificate, Social Security Number, Hidden Foreign Exchange Student college records, phony passport, ties to the scum of the earth, capitalism hating, trying to destroy the constitution every chance he can…… Yeah let’s have more of that. You bottom feeding, scum sucking, leach.

        1. Yes, a progressive, hell bent on destroying the US, freedom, capitalism, private property, happiness, and progressing towards communism and dictatorship, Cuba style!

        2. Being liberal means you are all for individual freedom. I’m sure the rest of your post makes sense in your own little universe.

          Shame it doesn’t in the world beyond your own head though.

          You’re good at coming up with random user names though, I’ll give you that. If you could put an ounce of that creativity into the rest of your thought processes you’d do yourself a service.

  1. Great nations plot their own downfall. The Tea Party and all the other right-wing knobs on this site – using big words they read somewhere or heard on Rush Limbaugh’s show without a clue about what the meaning is – are proof that the process is well on the way. How could the most enlightened nation on Earth for the last hundred years or so produce such a large number of robotic morons? Historians will ponder that for decades as China calls in the bills in the coming years even as these “American Taliban” race back in time towards the Stone Age in a competition with Afghanistan.

    1. I don’t think it’s all that bad. This is the tail end of the 2000 election result, which split the USA down the middle even before Iraq etc. came to the fore. The noise may appear louder, but it’s from a smaller and smaller group over time. Most are turning their backs on the noise and getting on with their lives. The terrible thing is that they’ve fully engulfed the Republican Party for the moment. It’s bad enough having a two party state, but when one of those parties becomes completely unelectable where does that leave the country?

        1. @fscuttle and Dave H

          They will lose big-time at EVERY LEVEL. They are too ignorant to realize this! Their pursuit of hatred and divisiveness will have long-lasting repercussions on their party. It’s really sad actually witnessing a snake swallowing its own tail!

        2. @Hardy Har Har

          Democrats will lose big-time at EVERY LEVEL. They are too ignorant to realize this! Their pursuit of hatred and divisiveness will have long-lasting repercussions on their party. It’s really sad actually witnessing a snake swallowing its own tail!

    2. I’ll write that again, and this time be a bit clearer 😉

      I don’t think the situation is all that bad. This is the tail end of the 2000 election result, which split the USA down the middle even before Iraq etc. came to the fore. The noise may appear louder, but it’s from a smaller and smaller group over time. Most Americans are turning their backs on the noise and getting on with their lives. The terrible thing is that the Tea Party types have fully engulfed the Republican Party for the moment. It’s bad enough having a two party state, but when one of those parties becomes completely unelectable where does that leave the country?

    In Shakespeare’s time,
    mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes.
    When you pulled on the ropes, the mattress tightened,
    making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the
    phrase…’Goodnight , sleep tight’

    It was the accepted
    practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride’s father would supply
    his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink.
    Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month,
    which we know today as the honeymoon.

    Many years ago in

    When they needed a refill , they used the whistle to get some service. ‘Wet your whistle’ is the phrase
    inspired by this practice.

    YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING
    IN 2011 when…

    1. You accidentally
    enter your PIN on the microwave.

    2. You haven’t
    played solitaire with real cards in years.

    3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers
    to reach your family of three.

    4. You e-mail the person who
    works at the desk next to you.

    5. Your reason for not staying in touch
    with friends and family is that they
    don’t have e-mail addresses.

    6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your
    cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you
    carry in the groceries…

    7. Every commercial on television
    has a web site at the bottom of the screen

    8. Leaving the house without your cell phone,
    which you didn’t even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and
    you turn around to go and get it

    10. You get up in the morning and go on line
    before getting your coffee

    11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

    12 You’re reading this and
    nodding and laughing.

    13. Even worse, you know exactly
    to whom you are going to forward this message.

    14. You are too busy
    to notice there was no #9 on this list.

    15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list .

    ~~~~~~~~~~~AND FINALLY~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

    NOW your LAUGHING at yourself!

  3. OMFG An innocuous story about an elected official using a popular tech appliance triggers 189 comments worth of mostly vitriolic nonsense? That’s messed up.

    1. Who cares? It won’t affect Rush one bit. And it’s complete BS given the crap the left spews about about conservatives 24/7. Scuttle Fart is obsessed. Loser.

        1. You wish, Scuttle-Fart. The Democrats power grab will be coming to an end this November after the elections. Democrats are the only ones in trouble. Not some made up, phony reaction about this Fluke idiot. You hypocrites say so much worse 24/7 everywhere you slither.

        2. You have trouble understanding polls don’t you? You better wake up and smell the coffee or you’re going to have a major panic attack when you realize that any hope the Republicans had of winning back the White House are now dead. Even the Republican political analysts George Will, David Brooks and Charles Krauthammer think so. I’m sure you have absolutely no clue who those people are.

        3. You have trouble reading reality moron. Wait until the race is on and maybe then the realty of the situation will dawn on your ugly, lemming troll, face.

        4. David Brooks is a RINO? George Will is a RINO? Those are the two most respected conservative political analysts in the country. Man you guys wouldn’t know crap from crisco.

  4. It’s now up to 38 advertisers who have dumped Limbaugh. That bloated windbag will be off the air soon. This is great! The Republicans are circling the drain,Rush is in a world of shit and Breitbart went tits up. Put the champaign on ice!

        1. The guy elected president with the edited phony birth certificate, hidden foreign exchange student college records, phony CT social security number, wants to drive up gas prices, appointed avowed communist and terrorist lawyers through his administration, etc., etc. That guy? I wonder why people are upset F-BUTT.

  5. I am now thoroughly convinced the reason most of these commenters sound like uninformed teenagers is because that’s exactly what they are. They must come on this site to check out the latest gadget they are going to beg mommy and daddy for. They are probably just parroting things they heard from the uninformed adults in their lives.

        1. Boy are you going to be upset. And the licensed gun owners aren’t the problem. It’s the demotard voters with the illegal guns that commit the lion share of gun crimes. We have more to worry about from the left losing it when they definitively lose this election. Losers.

  6. Ok i’m done with this clown show.Have fun stewing in your own hatred.You are some of the dumbest people in the world and you’re an embarrassment to your country.

  7. LOL Rush Limbaugh had only 9 advertisers today and he had 2:30 of dead air. Pretty soon these radio stations will be in the red. Bye bye Rush.Time to call your dealer and get some oxy that will help with the pain.

    1. Everything about that report is phony. Second jobs, part time jobs, no career opportunities, government BS tax dollar steeling jobs, no mention of the shrunken labor pool because people have given up completely looking for jobs, no mention of the parasites that purposely stay on welfare to not have to work, etc., etc., etc. Suck on that biatch!

      And you keep coming back after you said you were out of here, liar.
