    @OMG! Ponies!: To be fair, I think hamsterdance originally came out in 1998 which is a full three years before Bush took office. So, that probably is not a great point of reference.


    That said, I still love those dancing hamsters. Or whatever they are.

    Agreed. Flash is completely unnecessary 90% of the time.


    Also, for such a tech-forward President, why does he insist on pushing back the digital TV transition date??

    That's bull. Consumers have had plenty of time to make preparations. No matter how far you push it back, there's going to be people who just don't get it. Might as well make the transition now and deal with the stragglers afterwards.

    AT&T, however, joined the Consumers Union and some Congressman supporting the delay, that would, completely coincidentally, keep Verizon from speeding past them with their LTE deployment.

    While we're at it how about a vacuum cleaner shaped like Obama that sucks the money out of our pockets and gives it to people who don't work for a living?

    Or, someone could design a white flag with Obama as the flag pole. That way we can wave it anytime someone feels like killing Americans.

    Here's a good one. A head-set in the shape of Obama with his hands on either side of our eyes for all the people with blinders on.

    There's always the Obama button. Just press it and it'll play a prerecored sound bite. That way Obama supporters don't have to worry about actually educating themselves about what Obama is really in favor of.

    Let's not talk about Grove Parc, his 20 year relationship with Ayers. Let's not trouble ourselves with doing any of our own research of things like what happened to the all the money he was given when he chaired the reform program for Chicago schools, which failed so badly the Mayor called it a disaster.

    Everyone talks about the schools Obama has gone to, but do you know what his grades were? No, you don't. He hasn't released them. He's one of the few politicians ever not to make his grades public. He didn't become head of Harvards Law Review because of his grades. He got it because he won a contest.

    You guys bash Bush and praise Obama and don't know anything beyond the surface of sound bites and what you hear in speeches.

    I'm not in favor of Bush, but I am in favor of what's true.
    If there's going to be this kind of bashing, then let it be based on the truth.

    Gizmodo, despite your obvious far left leaning stances on politics .. at some point you should step back and realize that it is "The President". No matter what you think of him a certain amount of respect should still be shown; shame on you for not knowing where the line is and supporting shameless displays of base hatred.

    I love it when circumstances have so frustrated you that you decide to just chuck your normally rational arguments out the window and just start saying random angry things.


    a) Because it's funny.

    b) Because I'm usually in favor of those circumstances.
