What you can’t watch on the new White House iPhone app
Whoop-de-doo! The White House is touting its new iPhone app. It’s a revolution in open government! Watch the president yakking LIVE, right on your phone.
He’s mobile! He’s streaming! Carry him around in your purse or pocket!
iObama can now be with you 24/7:
Today, we’re excited to announce the new White House App available for Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. The White House App delivers dynamic content from WhiteHouse.gov to the palm of your hand.
Image of White House iPhone App showing list of photos and video playerOne feature that stands out is live video streaming. 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:

So, this is where “Cheetah Beat” went.
It’s about the same size as Chairman Mao’s little red book. Does it come in red?
I do not watch or listen to this bho on the tube or radio, why would I listen or watch him on my phone? I don’t think so.

Oh Boy!
Sarah Palin [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
is hitting the campaign trail for John McCain.

GREAT! Just what we need, McCain for 6 more years!
Ditto. I exercise my right to Mute.
stevevvs, hopefully, McLame will be among the “has beens”. He’s suddenly become a conservative….again. Vote him OUT.
All that the Chinese communists had to look at all day was a billboard of the beloved chairman Mao. Our liberal idiot friends can look at our glorious leader all day long and into the night. Watch for new legislation coming that will require everyone to buy one of these along with our government insurance policy.
No thanks. But I would be willing to watch Scott Brown give the rebuttal on my iPhone immediately following.
Ah, it’s nice to finally admit – I am from MASS (drop the last E for Marsha)
a true ‘boob tube’.
LOL!
As my mom might say, “Some people have more money than sense.”
Nah, I’m betting this will be his new stimulus package and we’ll all get one free. Problem will be when you try to use it or change the picture. It will only play Duh Won’s speeches and show a slideshow of pictures of his greatest moments.
1984 in 2010.
Spacey you make me laugh!! Great come back.
The only thing I want to hear from the Dems is their panic stricken, finger pointing meetings being held as the libs melt down and look for a way to spin this disaster. Is there an app for that?
Then they’ll be able to track every app you use, every keystroke, even your exact location 24/7! Oh sure… you laugh now!
(I’d do a /sarc tag, but I truly don’t know if I should. Scary that I can’t actually say with full confidence that this could never happen in our country, isn’t it?)
Developed at a cost of $217 millon using stimulus dollars and creating at least 352 jobs correct?
I can feel the economy turning around underneath my feet.
Just what I want. An app by which I can carry around my fearless leader’s photo and take in his anti-American bilge waste rants 24/7. I’m gonna rush right out. A true propagandist would hand the app out for free.
check out –
MyGov in the app store!
I saw your headline and thought immediately… “…anything of interest?”
I think you’re right about how scary it is. I think if the progressives get their way we will see more of our personal freedoms erased. It’s amazing to me much we are already “watched”.
As long as you are in step with the party it’s not a problem.
Glenn Beck is talking about the progressives and how much of our history they’ve erased from the knowledge of the American people. I’m anxious to see his show on Friday where he will outline his ideas.
Errah the iObama app should be renamed to imbroke. Who paid for this crap?
These dopes are overreaching on the “power” of social networking tools – especially since the Marxist Obama agenda has been fully exposed to/by Americans.
If they’d show O-Bama-Lama-Ding-Dong takin’ a big ol’ dump, that’d show us all we need to know. He’s shat upon America since he first set foot here.
If that is true that Palin is campaigning for McCain, I am through with her. We don’t need another phony-baloney RINO.
Can we skip Barry, and just get the iTOTUS feed?
Shouldn’t iObama be iUhhhhhhh?
Errah
AGREED!
Not a credible source in my book but . . . . http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/20/palin-will-stump-for-mcca_n_429562.html
Run JD Run! Run, Run, Run.
just what i want. i get waaaay too much of the one on the tube. it is no wonder that he is doing this on apple i phone, the uberliberal professional students favorite company, and favorite product line.
How long before they accidentally broadcast something they didn’t intend to?
I never jumped on her bandwagon because she did not make Alaskan government smaller or cheaper.
Speaking of which, I just saw Senator elect Brown indicate that he would support a national health care plan if something suitable was presented.
I can only hope DeMint can get to this guy and talk some sense into him before he gets contaminated bu all this nonsensical bi-partisianship nonsense.
How many hundreds of millions of wasted tax dollars is this costing? Another Freedom of Information Act request to be stalled for the next 3 years… just like the man made global warming scam.
Palin stumping for McCain??? Yikes. Source, please. I can hardly believe it. If true, she is toast. I too have never been totally on board with her. She seems stuck on platitudes. And her speaking style gets grating after a while. I like her strong conservatism and I admire the heck out of her. But if she is campaigning for McCain…she will lose a LOT of conservative support!
Careful – guess how our hostess knows this…?
Sure, I’m gonna purchase an app that will allow the Whitehouse to track me whereever I am. I was born at night but it wasn’t last night! And no, I wouldn’t be so paranoid if everybody wasn’t out to get me!
I’m not a paranoid schitzophrenic as everyone thinks I am. And neither am I. And neither am I.
You make a great point, Cheddar! Along with the unbelievable ego this whole thing represents, it also is dangerous and I wouldn’t put it past them to have tracking capabilities built into the program! I wonder how many people actually want to see Odumbo 24×7? Geez!
Shouldn’t it be called The oPhone?
When conservatives retake the White House, will Apple still allow the app to run?
Transparency, there’s a App for that. Just kidding.
It could also be called the Duhphone or the iWonphone.
That may be true however she was working on it. Against the cries of “no, don’t do it” she tacked on an extra $1200 onto our PFD checks to help us cope with higher fuel costs for a grand total of $3269 for all eligible Alaskans. That sure helped out! She can do no wrong in my book but stumping for McCain…not good.
That’s sort of how the Democrats win votes too, you know.
Works for me.
I think if you lived in the Alaskan bush you might feel the same way
