President Obama tries out Sphero, the iPhone controlled rolling robot
During a visit to Boulder, Colorado and Colorado University, U.S. President Barack Obama had the chance to test drive a Sphero -- an iPhone controlled rolling robot. Obama first watches the Sphero roll around, remarking "how cool is that, you can make the ball do all kinds of stuff", before taking the iPhone and taking control of the robot himself. Surrounded by Secret Service -- and co-eds -- the President of the United States gave it a whirl, seemed to enjoy himself, and complimented the inventor, a Boulder native.
We've had the opportunity to try out Sphero a couple of times at CES, and if you like iPhones and robots, it's definitely something to check out. Video below.
Thanks Obi!

Maybe the ball could teach him how to fix the economy or create jobs. Just saying. :(
You have over 500 congressmen and senators who directly write policy and budgets yet you blame one man? Awesome.
Yes it's congress' job to write policy but it's the President who sets the policy and agenda goals. The Conservative majority in the House write a bill cutting spending and/or taxes, the Liberal majority in the Senate either don't vote on it or vote it down. Why does it get voted down? Because the Liberals do what their leader tells them to do.
Sure you got your facts straight you worthless conservative?

That ball is cool -- but utterly useless, kinda like our current government.
Ummm... it was defeated unanimously, which means both parties. ;)
