Is That An iPad On Obama's Desk? (POLL)

From chatting with Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook employees to dining with Steve Jobs, Barack Obama is no stranger to the major players in Silicon Valley.

And included among today's tech world giants is, of course, the presidential iPad.

Obama previously discussed his tablet PC at the end of March during an interview with Jorge Ramos, who asked if the president had his own iPad.

Obama replied he did: ""I do have an iPad," he said.

"I mean, Jorge, I'm the president of the United States," he added. "You think I’ve got to go borrow somebody's computer?"

Now, that iPad might be making another appearance, this time in the Oval Office.

Take a close look at the latest photo from the White House Flickr feed and decide if that is, in fact, iPad One.

What do you think?

Now that's just sad. I get it. I do. You're so insecure that you supported W., who couldn't string together a coherent sentence to save his life, that the president with the funny name must just be reading from a script. Right? That's the argument you were taught to parrot. Such the rugged individualist you are.

Probably the one the Queen of England sent back because the speeches on it made her want to barf

I am so glad this story was covered. The Right-Left Wing Media always suppresses the real stories!!!

Don't know. But I'm pretty sure that there's a Teleprompter in front of his desk! LOL

When you say something funny, you don't have to put "LOL" after it. On the other hand, you didn't say anything funny.

At least he thinks he is funny --we can laugh at that.

Maybe not to you! But it sure was funny to me!!! LMAO

Technically, wouldn't someone in China have "iPad One", since that is where they are made?
