President Obama Tangles With An iPhone

Danielle Hester

Obama's love for the BlackBerry is well-documented.

There is at least one man in America who isn't eagerly awaiting today's iPhone 5 announcement.

During a campaign stop in Port St. Lucie, Fla. over the weekend, President Barack Obama got stumped by an iPhone.

The commander-in-chief made a surprise stop at a local campaign office and wanted to personally place calls to thank two volunteers for jobs well done, but when White House trip director Marvin Nicholson handed the social media savvy president the popular smartphone, mayhem ensued as a perfectly "befuddled" Obama struggled to dial out. "Oh, I got to dial it in?” the president asked. “Hold on, hold on. I can do this. See, I still have a BlackBerry," the president joked, according to a pool reporter from Politico.

Campaign stop gaffe aside, is there a chance that the president could one day become an iPhone devotee? (Huffington Post)
