What?s next, Obama gets a cameo on the all new Hawaii 5.0?



    Dude, you do realize that he's had far fewer vacation days than GWBush?

    Plus, I know you'd think meeting SJ would be considered a vacation, but this is work for the Pres.

    It will be a bold statement, we got the products, and we going to make them with our people - at least try to. It would be one-up on all the tech companies who only know how to outsource.



    Imagine making 100 some millions of i-Products right here at home - Steve can run for the WH uncontested!!!

    We desperately need balance between the White House and Congress.

    Wow. That is perhaps one of the weirdest posts ever that I can recall on AI.



    Are you suggesting Obama is some sort of voodoo president!?

    So The One will visit The Man. One massive ego meets another. What, he wants Apple to come up with some sort of iHope&Change? November 2012 can't get here soon enough!

    Actually it was his own campaign that tried to convince us of that.

    Always doubted that O had any "collectivist" witchcraft or "hope/change" magic.



    More likely its Steve asking "Don't tax me bro!"

    Perhaps Steve will ask him to resign, or at the very least go 180 degrees of his economic policies?

    Yeah, Obama's death touch killed the economy. It's not like 30 years of shipping all our jobs overseas, lowering taxes to near zero for the ultra-wealthy, and waging multiple-trillion dollar wars and financing them with Chinese money had anything whatsoever to do with it.

    Best news when two great minds meet. I just hope Jobs' gift of iPhone 4 to Obama will finally make the President convert to Apple.

    Then you must apply the same standards. You're quoting spun news sources. That's what only going only 2 or 3 Google news results deep gets ya.



    If staying at the White House and playing golf all day is not considered a vacation day for Obama, then Bush working/having meetings at Camp David or his Ranch should not be considered vacation days for him. If you count the 'trips' then you can achieve a fewer tally for Obama, but if you count the scheduled activities that's not the case, O's been off the clock a lot more.



    Also it should be pointed out that shortly after a crisis, Bush gave up golfing for the remainder of his Presidency, because it set a bad tone for the President to be wasting time while there where major problems. Whether you like the guy or not, Obama would do far better to follow the same work ethic - heck any example of genuine self-sacrifice would be really nice to see from O.

    I hope Steve Jobs shakes Obama's hand and then politely reminds him that although he himself is a democrat, his business was started and thrived because of capitalism.



    Although I'm sure Obama has some 'spread the wealth' ideas regarding Apple's 51B in cash.

    Can you blame him? Now that corporations can give unlimited amounts of money to any candidate of their choice?

    Right, it's not those OTHER guys who want to give all the power to corporations to lobby for useless regulation that stifles competition and undermines capitalism or anything... It's all that crazy far left liberal Obama!



    Oh wait, you're completely talking straight out of your ass! Good little sheep.
