The same kind of story about George H. W. Bush supposedly not knowing what a supermarket scanner was. It took two iPhones and two attempts for Obama to figure it out! Mr. Hip, Mr. Cool, Mr. Smarter Than Everybody Else. He said, as a way of making an excuse (impression), &#8220;Well, I &#8212; I &#8212; I use BlackBerry.&#8221; Oh, you mean the bunch that\u2019s just barely in business because of the iPhone? I don\u2019t think it\u2019s an insignificant thing.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the Apple guys seeing this say, &#8220;Oh, my God! The president can\u2019t figure out our phone? Maybe we should postpone the new one \u2019til he gets up to speed on the current one.&#8221; He didn\u2019t know how to use an iPhone, and he still didn\u2019t get through on his call. He\u2019s sitting there and he was still not able to make a call from Port St. Lucie. There may be something about Port St. Lucie. That\u2019s the place where they call 911 when they\u2019re outta Chicken McNuggets.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what he was calling about. You know, he was here in West Palm Beach yesterday, City Place, like four miles from my fashionable ocean-side estate. I ask another question: Why is Obama here in Palm Beach County? What\u2019s the voter registration? What\u2019s the Democrat registration of Palm Beach County? Seventy percent, sixty-nine? So what\u2019s he doing here? What\u2019s he doing here? Palm Beach County is the last place he ought to be spending any time in Florida. What\u2019s he doing here?<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s he doing in Boca? What\u2019s he doing in Fort Pierce and all these places? What\u2019s he doing here? Unless he\u2019s here raising money. There\u2019s also a significant Jewish population here in Palm Beach County, so why is he here? He gotta have this place in the &#8220;I Own It&#8221; column without ever having to come here, and yet here he was. And I saw a story sent to me yesterday. Guess what state\u2019s in play? They thought it was lock, stock, and barrel for Obama.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_66692\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaiPhone350.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>New Mexico is in play.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn\u2019t supposed to happen. So he had to be here to raise money. That had to be what he was doing here. Now, I\u2019m not aware of any fundraising stops that he made (not to say that he didn\u2019t make any). But if he\u2019s here in Palm Beach County, &#8220;Floreed,&#8221; to shore up support, then that\u2019s quite telling, \u2019cause if there is a blue county in this country, it\u2019s this one. Why do I always end up living in these places?<\/p>\n<p>Sacramento? The voter registration there was 80% when I got there. It was 60% when I left. (interruption) &#8220;Is Palm Beach, the island, Democrat?&#8221; I\u2019d have to say it is, yeah. I\u2019d say Palm Beach is Democrat. It\u2019s a toss-up, 50-50. It doesn\u2019t matter. (interruption) &#8220;How can all those rich people in Hollywood be Democrats?&#8221; You tell me! I don\u2019t understand&#8230; Well, I do understand. Anyway, I don\u2019t know why I always end up living in these blue places. (interruption) Well, they do leave me alone. It\u2019s a good point.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8220;On the campaign trail, President Obama is constantly talking about the importance of technology, but he met his match in an iPhone Sunday. The president had stopped at a campaign office in Port St. Lucie, Fla., to thank volunteers. Then, for the cameras, Mr. Obama was supposed to call two campaign workers who were out working on his behalf. But when White House trip director Marvin Nicholson handed the president his personal iPhone, Mr. Obama couldn\u2019t get it to work. A reporter who witnessed the scene said the president looked &#8216;befuddled,'&#8221; and didn\u2019t know what to do with it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;It\u2019s not clear he knows how to dial on an iPhone,\u2019 the reporter wrote in a pool report. Finally, Mr. Obama said, &#8216;Oh, I got to dial it in. Hold on, hold on. I can do this. See, I still have a BlackBerry.\u2019 The president then &#8216;had a little more trouble dialing,\u2019 the pool report said. The president then has more trouble dialing. When the call didn\u2019t go through, he blamed Mr. Nicholson for having an insufficient cell phone plan.&#8221; Mr. Hip.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Times is the only outlet to report this. The Washington Times reporter was the pool reporter. They are the only outlet to report it. Drudge links to it, but nobody else reports this. I wonder why? I mean, the iPhone is clearly the &#8220;it&#8221; phone. I don\u2019t know if Obama knows what a checkout scanner at the supermarket is or not. And they eat everything Michelle grows in her garden, so I don\u2019t know how much Obama buys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: You know, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if Apple postpones the new iPhone announcement on Wednesday after what happened yesterday.
