President-Elect Barack Obama has claimed he'll do many things, but little do we know that he's already lying to us!

Barack Obama: Zune man? Or Apple fanboy?
Yesterday the Philadelphia City Paper ignited a controversy over the question, with a blog entry that included the innocuous detail that the President-elect was working out while listening to the Microsoft (not Apple!) music player.
But today a spokesman puts the vicious rumor to rest. “Not true, the President-elect uses an iPod,” he says. And the Philadelphia writer, Neal Santos, blogs today: “It could belong to one of the many Secret Service dudes that were at the gym, Michelle, or even one of his daughters.”
That hasn’t stopped the merriment within the community — and yes, there is one — of Zune users, who are drastically outnumbered by iPod fans.
“For now we’re claiming the president-elect one of our own,” writes Adam Krebs on Zune Thoughts. On the site’s forums, Alber1690 writes “I was a staunch Hillary supporter, but this is awesome! I’m excited for the future of this country.”
“I don’t know if he can institute all of this change that everyone expects from him but he has impressed me once again,” writes Zune Max. “If the Zune team was on top of things they would send Obama some more Zunes for the new cabinet so they can Zunecast each other.”
On Zunerama’s message boards, one user writes “Look at what President Reagan did to the sales of jelly beans! This is great news!” “This is probably the best endorsement Zune could’ve gotten… for free,” says another.
The Apple crowd isn’t as psyched. “You can’t run an election claiming you own an iPod and garnering people’s votes then after you win suddenly start toting around a Zune. That’s just not cool,” writes James Poling.
“The news today that Obama is apparently a Zune user disapoints me. I wouldn’t mind trying one, but I wanted him to be an iPod President,” Twittered Scott Thatcher. (Most Tweets mentioning the Zune today are in reference to ZuneGate.)
Simply unacceptable. He hasn't quit smoking either! THAT MONSTER!

lawl, that's where I got this horrifying story. The world must know that President-Elect Obama can't find firm ground on his stance in mp3 players.

Being from England, you wouldn't understand how important flag pins, cigarettes, and MP3 players are to us materialistic Yanks.
The first is only important to the right wing. The second is only important to the left wing. And the last is only important to Apple fans (they're somewhere past left wing).

What makes it even worse is that one of Obama's guys actually responded to this idiocy. Seriously, if I were in charge of his PR and I got this question I'd respond with something along the lines of "Seriously? We've experiencing a financial crisis and we're bankrolling failed companies left and right and this is the number one thing on your mind? Next question."
The fragile psyche of Apple fans truly amazes me sometimes. I own an iPod myself and I'm satisfied with it, but it's not untouchable nor should it be treated that way. I've heard quite a few good things about the Zune from people who own it and it's quite possible that machine gets the job done just as well. The nerd peer pressure in favor of Apple products in general needs to die. That company has not earned this level of devotion. Hardcore Apple nuts are easily 10x worse than the most rabid Nintendo fan.

You'd be a better PR person than I would. My response would have been "Are you ****ing kidding me?"
