I don't understand what he has to gain here. Is it a politicians job to make iPods? Not as far as I can tell. Is this what people expect him to do? No. What is his politican gain from this?
Nobody, as far as I can tell, will respond with: "Nice job, president". This won't get him any new voters (or at least, I truly hope it doesn't). It looks like a joke to me.
From the article, I get the impression Bush is almost claiming they invented all of those things entirely with the creation of an iPod in mind, which is obviously not true either. There was no foresight - the iPod was created using several of those things he mentions, sure, but those things were not created simply so an iPod could one day be made. This seems ridiculous. Surely there were far better reasons why researchers invented all the components with which the iPod was made possible - yet it's presented as if the iPod was the only goal here.
This is a strange speech. So, again, it looks like a joke to me - or possibly somebody spotted the potential for creating some internet hype here (because nobody checks facts on the internet, and any mention of apple and ipods gets lots of internet exposure) and decided to grab their 15 megabytes of fame.
