It’s been a heck of a year for first ever tweeting… especially on Apple devices. In July, President Obama sent his first tweet from a MacBook Pro, and in June, the Pope got in on the action by pushing the “Send tweet” button on his trusty iPad.
Now it’s the First Lady’s turn to get in on the Tweeting action.
Using the White House account @JoiningForces, Mrs. Obama tweeted:
Military families serve our nation too. Let’s all show our appreciation by #JoiningForces with them. Get involved: https://JoiningForces.gov –mo
From the video, it’s obvious that the White House is part of the Cult of Mac: two Macs and an iPhone pop up in the video, and the MacBook Pro even has a “Property of the White House” sticker on it. Bet you didn’t see many Macs there during the Bush administration.

Looks hard.
Oh, okay… Are you suggesting that conservatives don’t use Apple products??? Keep the political bias out of your articles…
I wonder which cell network it’s on. There’s a network device plugged into a USB port.
She looks like she has no idea what she is doing. Give me a break is it that difficult?
Shouldnt she be off telling Americans kids who she isnt the parent off what they arent allowed to eat?

Yeah, Rush Limbaugh loves Macs even more than Oxycontin.
I guess anything this overly pretentious will get passed off as news these days.
