Barack Obama Uses Macs

Barack_obamaThis post is not intended to interject politics into the Mac legal technology arena, but I found it interesting that Barak Obama’s wife, Michelle, is apparently a believer in Macs.  The profile of Mrs. Obama in this week’s edition of Newsweek says

"To help bridge the physical distance between father and daughters,
Michelle recently bought two MacBook laptops, one for Barack and one
for the kids, so they could have video chats over the Internet."

If one of the busiest men with one of the busiest families on the planet has said "yes, we can" to the Mac, shouldn’t you too?

Addendum:

One of my readers, Christopher McDavid, kindly pointed out that the New York Times published an article a few weeks ago that compared Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and concluded that Obama is a Mac and Clinton is a PC, and you can read it by clicking HERE.  If Sen. Obama’s surge in the polls continues, he could be our first Mac President.

    A fun little New York Times article compared Obama v. Clinton to Mac v. PC with Obama taking on the Mac characteristics. No wonder I like him so much!

    But did he go black, or did he go white….that, my friend, is the question.
