Another minority rejoices at Obama election

AFTER YEARS of persecution, the religious minority who devote themselves to the worship of Steve Jobs and his executive toys finally feel that they have one of their number in the Oval Office.

Seizing on a Newsweek report, the Apple bogs have been holding their cappuccino's on high to toast the discovery that Barack Obama's missus Michelle recently bought two Macbook laptops, one for Barack and one for the kids, so they could have video chats over the Internet.

Obama apparently was seen in snaps on the campaign trail with his Macbook in the background.

"It was really brave of him to risk votes by being open about his Macness," said one fanboy.

The Macolyte boggers claimed that, for the first time, it would place one of their number in a position of power and great change would be afoot. No longer will Apple users be shunned and forced to sit on different seats from PC users. No longer would they be mocked for wearing their distinctive turtle-necked black clothing. They can drive their VW beetles without being stopped by the cops and routinely chastised for listening to their Ipods while driving.

No longer, will their Coldplay collections be confiscated for being a public danger to musical tastebuds. They will be free to spam people with abusive email who don’t 'Think Different'. Laws that prevent them being smug in a public place will finally be repealed.

"I didn't vote for him, but THIS is change we can believe in!", One Apple user enthused.

It seems that many feel that Obama will be channelling the will of Steve Jobs in the White House and the world will be a happy, PC-free place.

"The world has been such an unhappy place under the rule of PC users, I am sure that Obama will bring much happiness by virtue of him being a Mac and Iphone user," another said

However, it seems that if the world is a miserable place it might have something to do with the fact that both democrat Bill Clinton and republican George Dubya Bush were Mac users.

George was never seen without his Iphone because he liked the pretty pictures and the touch screen and the GPS function which told him where he was. He had a Macbook but also had a PC. Clinton also had a Mac, although he never used it much.

He was too interested in his female interns to be a real Apple fanboy. µ
