Apple Shoots Down Obama's Hope

[pmerritt]

Since the photo is definitely non-offensive i have to think that it's because it's the "black president". [My flame suit is on]

If you can look at a man who whose entire campaign was based upon empty promises of "change" and hope" you really are an idiot. The man has been in office a whopping 6 months and he has already increased the national debt by 860,000,000,000. Oh no folks that isn't too many zero's. For all the whining about how bad Bush was (oh he was) it took him 29 months to accumulate that much debt during his presidency.

Don't worry folks. "Hope" for more monopoly money to be printed out. I for one just hope that I'm dead before China starts asking for it back. God help my children.

This poster and the rights behind it are being brought to court. The Associated Press say its a depiction of a picture they own! Apple has NO intention of getting sued by the AP which would defiantly happen if the AP wins against the artist who made the poster! Not even the Obama camp adopted the official use of the poster because of the legal battle!!!

You guys are journalists RESEARCH before you go flapping about because some app of THOUSANDS gets the axe.

[citation][nom]ProDigit80[/nom]What hope is there, when he just raised the totalamerican debt with over 3 trillion dollars (and still rising) in one day?That's a common debt of $250.000 per person living in the USA! When are we going to pay that back?Europe is already paying back! They have raised the taxes to 21,5% or higher; but lowering taxes will only work to get re-elected the first 4 years, after which they will need a gigantic boost!Barak may be a great guy in person, I have nothing against him in person, and I'm sure he honestly tries to come up with solutions, but so far many of the decisions he made makes one question; who has higher moral, the president of a nation, or some of it's people?I know for sure something must be wrong, when someone all of a sudden gets the idea to 'borrow' 3 trillion dollars (which took USA about 30 years to get into the first 3 trillion dollars of debt), and gives it to motor vehicle industries (which is non constitutional), to save them, instead all guys at the top of the chain all of a sudden get $+240.000 bonuses,and GM declares bankrupt only 3 months later?Is that just a gigantic waste of money or what?He did well in getting the troops out of Iraq. Let the Irakees kill eachother. If they hate America so badly, then let them be killed by their own 'taliban' brothers instead!That terrorist organisation that have the urge to bring the world to the worst possible condition ever, under their terrorist and murderous rule; that buys weapons from USA to only later try to use them against USA...Anyways, Obama is a symbol for the times,has done some great things, but not knowing, he's also destroying the economy very badly, and at a rapid rate![/citation]


do you know why he has to do that?

thx to the REPUBLICANS AND BUSH AND DICK CHENEY for their great effort of "fuck it all up"

now saying I like everything that Obama did, I didn't like any of them. but if Mccain won the battle, its just gonna be worst.

why? cuz they are not gonna do anything.

 

[NYCGPS]

back to topic. FUXK APPLE.

they approved all those childp0rn and other kinds of sick shit, but for some reason a picture with Obama's face on it offended them so bad that they just gotta put that "no" on the appz. ROFL.

The more ridiculious shit apple do, the more I love myself being an Apple-Free man

Yes Obama spent $860,000,000,000 on the Economy that GWB let go in the
cutter. It might take another $860,000,000,000 to clean up Bushes Mess, but
let's wait 3.5 years before we Judge Obama. As far as the Apple App Store, I think
they got this one wrong, I think it's a form of Censorship, if people want to pay to
download it let em. They can goto Itunes and down load perverted Songs about Putang
and drugs and alcohol, why can't they down load a simple poster of Obama. What is Apple
thinking about?????

 

[megamanx00]

Maybe the text message that breaks it says Obama or something 😀

[Soul_keeper]

that is stupid artwork imo
it's like a castro poster

maybe apple will ban some socialists/communists/liberals/fascists next
then I might respect them ....

Warning, the text is "Windows is the most secure and awesome operation system in the world." All text after that is executed.

What do you know? Apple finnally did something right for a change.

 

[resonance451]

You misspelled the president's name at least twice.

Maybe you can't type, but you have the best point, thanks.

To everyone with a brain: The signs of a good administration will not show themselves in almost any major way until the third or fourth year of his presidency. Until then, all I [or anyone else] can judge him on is his ability as a figurehead, which is all the president really is. Reagan is remembered as one of our greatest presidents for nothing more than the fact that he was such an amazing beacon for the American people to look towards. Everything else comes second, as it well should.

This proves itself in a basic law of economics: When people feel happy and safe, they spend more money.

Say what you will about the man, but see how the economy, the polls, and our general feeling about life are as the next election gears up. Then you can judge him on something besides his speaking ability.

As I recall, there was some question as to whether the artist who created this Soviet-era look poster had plagiarized another work. Perhaps that explains the rejection.

If by hope you mean:

Hope for reinstating a tyrannical dictator in Honduras that was properly removed for usurping all 3 wings of government, then you may have a point.

Seriously though, if I have to come to my tech website, and see the writers referring to anything with the guy who is doing his best to destroy the founding father's dreams, and call it "awesome, inspiring, and entirely all-American" I will never come back.

This is your first and last warning. Save the politics for political blogs.
