Barack Obama has an iPod. That informed a spokesman for the nominee for U.S. president with. Seriously. The reason for the clarification was a report, which the makers hope with a Zune, the unit of Apple rival Microsoft, had been seen. A storm of outrage was the result.
 What the president stuck in their ears, interested in the American people for quite some time. As George W. Bush in 2005, betrayed what songs on his iPod playlist are a huge murmur went through the global fan base. A representative of the "Rolling Stone" exposes parts of Bush's taste in music was a "really dirty" - as he referred to "My Sharona" by The Knack, because it inter alia there is talk that a "sweet little" the "motor" the speakers' running brings. "
That the President ever owns an iPod, was not surprised - after Apple's music players dominate the U.S. market for many years in almost monopolistic manner. Last week the message now cared for riots, the engine of the President in special might be from one device from Microsoft driven. A storm of outrage was the result.
Pacman as campaign forged instrument?
Bush's designated successor, Barack Obama was repeatedly during the election campaign with Apple computers folding sighted (see photo gallery above), which Mac fans and probably Steve Jobs happy. Once Obama appeared even a picture with a device that is beside the Apple icon Pacman still a sticker under consideration, what was the heart of the gamer community was beat.
ON TO ONLINE mobile blogs: bending displays for mobile phones with touchscreen (06.12.2008) iPod fan of Bush: Schweinkram in the mix (12.04.2005) U.S. policy: How Obama with the network wants to govern (19.11.2008) Obama's election victory : How the Internet celebrates its champion (05.11.2008) U.S. election: Barack Obama advertises in the crash videogame (14.10.2008) BlackBerry surrender: U.S. media fear Obama offline (17.11.2008) Soon thereafter, however, appeared to doubt the Story - a perspective from other picture showed Although the Apple logo, but not the digital pill eater. Wahlkampfdienlicher a case of image manipulation, then? The battle for the minds today is also quite evident in the sector of digital lifestyle out, sometimes perhaps even with unclean methods. And now das.
One such Obama, but that could not be otherwise, listen to music with white iPod headphones as otherwise please. It was all the more dismayed now recorded as the message through blogs swept the U.S., the future president had turned the enemy: He was in sports in a gym in Philadelphia with a Zune sightings have been reported to a local journalist in his blog - that is, with a MP3 player of the Microsoft Corporation. And, although it the "Rolling Stone" ever had betrayed everything on his iPod is?
"Now Obama is damnably"
The reaction was fast, and very many-violently. "What if his whole campaign was a lie?", Ask Matt Buchanan in the tech-blog "Gizmodo" - not quite seriously. In the "Wall Street Journal" - the venerable Wirtschaftsblatt spoke of "ZuneGate" - commented a reader under the name "Steve Jobs": "Now is Obama horribly. Apple and iPod are the only things in life have a role to play."
Hundreds of blog entries and newspaper articles on the subject were published within a few days, many simply refused, the bad news to believe.
A Twitter search with the words "Zune" and "Obama" raises until today hit out en masse - the community is divided on Zune-iPod fans and admirers, Obama supporters and Obama-enemies. "I've been for some time been a proud Zune users," twitterte one, "but if Obama has one, I must perhaps rethink." A blog commentator at Gizmodo rightly noted that "Ähh, hello. It IS but the candidate for change."
Well, it turns out: Everything a big misunderstanding. A spokesman of the future most powerful man in the world was against the "Wall Street Journal is now clear - false alarm:" The President-designate uses an iPod. " The Zune on the treadmill entertainment was perhaps only borrowed, the originator of the rumors discrediting itself clear.
Obama's sneakers, only for the sake of completeness, are on the photo from training Incidentally, as models of the brand Asics to see his T-shirt wears a Nike logo. Not been informed what the president wore socks, and whether his underwear from American Apparel or it came from Calvin Klein.
But until the inauguration are still a few weeks time.
