Hah, just joshin’, not really, but Unconfirmed Sources paints a pretty hilarious picture of a situation where Obama is taking cash from BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM)-maker Research in Motion to promote the device. Let’s face it, that is one hell of a celebrity endorsement, one that not even money could buy.
“I love my Blackberry. I never leave home without it”, Obama told a reporter. “I encourage every American to buy a Blackberry. And you can buy one now for only $99.99 with a two year activation plan from Sprint (NYSE: S)” … Executives from Apple (NSDQ: AAPL), Inc., maker of the Blackberry competitor iPhone, say they will offer Obama $40 million if he just shuts up about the Blackberry.
