Quote of the Day


"I have an iReggie, who has my books, my newspapers, my music all in one place."

-- President Obama, quoted by CNN, telling a reporter he doesn't have an iPad but he does have personal aide Reggie Love.

[Mass]

1. I apologize in advance, but I think this quote makes him look elitist.

I understand that he needs his personal aide. He is not the average person and has way too many things to do. That part is obvious. It is just that, for some reason, this sentence does not feel right (though I would expect there was a before and an after this quote and it probably did not sound that bad).

2. Don't apologize. My take-I thought it was funny. nt

[lunatica]

3. It's funny because it's also a double sided quip

He's saying he has a personal aid all the time, but he's also saying he isn't allowed as the most powerful man in the world to have an iPad. There's humor in the irony of it.

4. The crass lexicon of those who gained position late in life

speaking of 'the help' as if they were owned objects is really, really uncool. Chattle based hijinx!

7. Wow, a little extreme??? Reggie isn't the help, he is a paid assistant.

[phleshdef]

9. Oh, so Reggie is just "the help" in your eyes.

[ampad]

15. Yes, a very interesting choice of words

I am not the least bit surprised.

16. That one's on ignore for a reason.

20. +1-I guess.

:D

10. Anyone who needs an example for why the left can't be taken seriously these days

Need only read Bluenorthwest's post here.

To reach this interpretation from this story requires astounding feats of numbskullery.

[Pisces]

11. Couldn't agree more.

[ampad]

14. Yup

It really sucks for this sites reputation.

13. Laughter is like kryptonite to you, isn't it?

[boppers]

22. "lexicon" and "Chattle" used in a post accusing others of arrogance.

:rofl:

[mzteris]

5. funny as hell.

:thumbsup:

[Pisces]

6. I love it. I wish I had an iReggie. Don't think I would use it in the same way :).

[babylonsister]

19. Hahaha! Me, neither!

:blush:

8. Well, since my project for the month has been organizing my music

including archiving lossless versions and downloading ipod versions, all I can say is I WANT A REGGIE! I can not even count the hours, but I know that I have spent several days working nearly all night since I get sort of obsessed! Then work is hell the next day. I have a feeling when I finish (for now) I am going to need a psychiatrist to deal with my OCD. ;)

[Mimosa]

17. In olden times, a man's P.A. was called a 'valet'.

And taking the way back machine to the Renaissance, a squire.

[KoKo]

18. "I-Reggie" ...that's is very cool and full of humor. Snark against Apple..and elitists..about I-Pad

[krispos42]

21. So Reggie is a one-man band?

Go Reggie!
