Obama Campaign Hops on the iPhone Bandwagon
The iPhone application access your contacts and reorganizes them so that contacts in battleground states are listed at the top, instead of simply using alphabetical order. The application counts how many calls you make through the app and anonymously sends the tally (but no other data) back to the Obama campaign. The app shows how many calls you've made and how many calls the application has been used to make nationwide, motivating users by making them feel like they are part of a larger community.
The application also can access the iPhone's GPS to locate the nearest Obama campaign office and local events. It also comes with "issues" and "media" links, which delivers statements and videos of Obama's stance on issues.
The McCain campaign responded by asking, "What's an iPhone?" [From: CNET and USA Today]

TOM, thank you for clarification of facts.
I am surprised NO ONE questions the astronomical amount of money spent by the Obama campaign. If elected, he has many favors to repay. We need a government that can function for America. The 1.4 trillion of "pork" added to the rescue plan just to get it passed is "unexcuseable". Both political parties agreed that we MUST shore up the economy. Two weeks later plus another 1.4 trillion added and it gets passed? TOO much TOO late. A 90 year old woman shot herself because her house was being forclosed. She had taken out another loan from Countrwide 4 years ago. (who would loan money to an 86 year old without the means to repay it) Fannie took over her loan a year ago and is now signing it over to her. They should have offered help to anyone at that age before they got so desperate. Hopefully that won't encourage more desperate people to do the same to get the house for free.

Be careful or the Obama camp will slander you as they have Sarah Palin. I have never seen such a dirty campaign. The mudslinging about the Republican canidates & the outrage when comments are made about the Democrat contenders. NOT FAIR. What is needed the most now is for government to function together & quit drawing political lines.
Obama is simply not capable of setting aside his personnel beliefs to work with both political parties.
