That's what he said.

The President of the United States of America has an iPad. He also has his own computer. I mean, he's the freakin' POTUS, so he should darned well better have his own computer, right?

    He seems like a pretty fun guy, too bad he's shackled by the Republican (Regressive Party) held House of Representatives.

    Maybe if he would have brought his little war before congress like he was supposed to, time would have been taken to realize that the "rebels" are really Al Qaeda.
