President-Elect Barack Obama Will Bring More Macs to the White House

Tuesday November 11, 2008

It seems our next president is a Mac user. According to Newsweek, Michelle Obama bought two MacBooks so that their daughters, Sasha and Malia, could chat with their dad whenever he spent time away from them.

During the campaign, Senator Obama and his staff were routinely seen using MacBook Airs, MacBooks, and MacBook Pros. Although we’re happy to see that President-Elect Obama is a Mac kinda guy, he won’t be the first to bring Macs to the White House. That honor belongs to President Clinton; President Bush is also a Mac user.

There may also be an iPhone in the President-Elect’s coat pocket. During the campaign, Senator Obama was observed using an iPhone on several occasions, although we don’t know if that was his personal phone or one provided by the Obama For President campaign.
