A historic moment today as Obama registered his first domain name - twice.
Apparently president Obama – who cannot stop mentioning how “advanced” he’s with technology, often making references to his Blackberry – registered his first domain name today.
Obama appeared at the American Red Cross headquarters in Washington to promote his participation in aiding the Haiti fund, when a member of the agency’s new media team wrote a message on Twitter telling people he had arrived.
He then asked the president to visit GoDaddy.com and Obama eventually registered his first domain name, Obamagram.com – or so he thought.
“Let me say that I have never used GoDaddy before,” Obama said in response to a question from a Chinese student about using .CN domains freely in China. Obama continued: “I noticed that young people – they’re very busy with all these electronics. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone. I know GoDaddy offers some great deals and always displays phat buxom ladies in their Superbowl commercials. So I endorse GoDaddy.”
The president was quick to adapt to the new technology as well; having to wade through 14 steps before the confirmation page came up, president Obama appeared to remain calm and patient.
“I’ve learned to wait and read the fine print until the final page of the agreement, before I put down my signature,” said Obama. “That’s how I do politics. American people have invested in me and I’m now investing in GoDaddy,” he added smiling.
The bad news was given to him later on, when it became apparent that Obamagram.com was already registered and GoDaddy’s WHOIS system had suffered a glitch. GoDaddy issued a credit towards the president’s next domain registration. Obama then proceeded with registering AmericaWeCannotTurnBack.com
