Now anyone with this app can watch the President’s public events at the White House, frequent web chats with Administration officials, and other events like key speeches and press briefings in real time.

In fact, the President’s State of the Union speech next week is a great example. In addition to the millions of Americans watching through TV and websites like WhiteHouse.gov/live, iPhone users on the go will be able to tune in through their phones.

The White House App also lets users stay up to date with the White House Blog and the latest from the Briefing Room. Browse behind-the-scenes photos and watch on-demand videos. The app provides instant access to full videos from recent speeches, press briefings, and special events.

Except, of course, for the behind-the-scenes backroom deals that Mr. Transparency won’t let the American public see and the non-existent videos of his meetings with corporate socialist special interests.

But good news: There’s a great iPhone app to fill the vacuum left by President Obama’s information vacuum. The CricketToy. Chirp, chirp, chirp:
