Man this really brought out the wing nuts..
Guess you were asleep during the last administration, which makes Obama's mishaps look pretty much like nothing.
Got a tip for us?

Like she's any better than Carney. Ever watch The Five? She says some really crazy ****.

I didn't say you had to love her politics. Just that she's far more trustworthy than Jay Carney.
No there's not. Both involve "telling the public what your boss told you to tell them."
So like I said earlier, it just comes down to whether you trust Tim Cook or not.
Do you? If so it shouldn't matter who they hire.
If not, it shouldn't matter who they hire.
Qualified, yes, but his reputation precedes him and tarnishes the message before he even begins it.

Baffles me how those who use "wing nuts" as a disparaging label fail to notice that "right" is not inherently an implied part thereof; the term as used applies to both right and left. Consequence: anyone using the term is witlessly insulting themselves in the process.
Those would also, probably, be good choices. I don't know much about either, but anyone who can sling the lies of our past two administrations has to be good at lying (I'd hope).

Source?
Does he really need Carney so badly he'd alienate 50% of his customers? I doubt it. So now I'm starting to distrust Cook's judgment.
That's absurd. There's a spectrum of hirelings. On the left side you've got the incompetent and divisive, then as you move toward the right side, it's the competent and unifying. Carney's on the far left. Surely there are better choices from the right side.
Well they need to replace Katie Cotton, and as long as I do not see Carney on stage at WWDC or other Keynotes, he may be ok for the job.
I didn't realise anyone in the Obama administration was a communist...
That said I doubt 50% of Apples customers would be horrified. Most people don't care about politics and no one outside the US cares about Americas sports team like politics to really care if Apple hired someone from US politics.
"Overwhelming majority" is an opinion.
I mean it is clear Obama is unpopular so why bother over egging the pudding?
Well that came up out of the blue. So you think Carney's a Commie? Sounds like an extreme opinion to me....
So what's the magic number? You're as arrogant as Cook if you think Apple can disregard any customers. As for who cares about politics, Americans don't like someone else's politics shoved in their face, so if Carney became an Apple employee, we'd think about buying elsewhere.
It's Apple bringing in an Obama lackey as an obvious bid to gain influence that is so distasteful. Obama's scandal ridden administration shouldn't bring Apple down to its level of corruption.
And yet he gave me one.
See, that's what I thought you were going with. I kind of hoped you weren't, since using that as a source means that you don't know what the word majority means. For a majority of people to think he was the worst President since WWII, there'd have to be over 50%. It could be 51%, 50.1% or so forth, but it has to be above 50%.
I think you mean a plurality, but I can't quite be sure.
I wasnt the author of the original comment but since they indicated WW2, it was assumed that's the source he meant. Majority was a bit of creative license but I knew what they meant. Still doesn't negate the fact the current executive branch is widely viewed as bad. And this one was supposed to redeem the past one and failed in almost every category in terms of openness, internationally, less freedoms in the press. But I digress... Reagan deemed the "best" at 35%, Obama "worst" at 33%. So he's ALMOST as disliked as Reagan is liked... seems pretty clear to me.
Without trying to create a political firestorm here on this forum... this guy isn't very trustworthy.
Dude, you better get your manufactured outrage going as Apple has already did this when they hired Lisa Jackson, former head of the EPA under Obama.
Which is sad, because Reagan helped create Al-Qaeda and continued destroying the US economy. :\ Then again, most people prefer to ignore the part about Al-
Qaeda.
The Mujahideen wasn't Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda split off from them as they weren't extreme enough. The Mujahideen helped us remove the Taliban from power. So much for history.
