If Obama’s really an iPod guy, well, there had to be a reason he was caught red-handed with a Zune. Right? We decided to let our Twitter followers come up with a few. Join RedEye’s playlist at twitter.com/redeyechicago.
@egspoony Maybe because Obama is about change?
@danno1227 He’s probably waiting for the Presidential engraving on his iPod.
@purplepopple Because Obama is an average joe and makes no pretentions. Plus YAY! Music sharing with Hillary!
@dkmann he’s going to ask the Gates foundation to bail out Detroit
@GrantGannon Because he can’t afford Apple’s high priced products?
@ondraceka cause he doesn’t want anyone going through his ipod and seeing that he secretly loves barry manilow and NKOTB.
@amykchulik Hil had a Sweatin’ to the Crazies mix on her Zune-Bill O’Reilly’s “We’ll Do it Live!” dance remix &others-& let him borrow it
@FoxBrownFox He can’t have his own mp3, he might face scrutiny & have to explain all the polka music & death metal he likes to mashup.
@katiedub he’s just an equal opportunity type guy and wants to give all mp3 players a chance!
@technosexual Perhaps Obama wanted to see how 4% of the market chooses to “get social.”
@jrrtubbs He is working some sort of middle class angle, like the big three driving to DC. PR is priority 1.
@itsjenjen He wanted to see what life was like on the other side of the tech tracks.
