Seen in this photo is Corbin Fleming, brother of 2011 March of Dimes National Ambassador Lauren Fleming, as he plays with the President’s telephone during his family’s visit to the Oval Office, Feb. 7, 2012.

In April 2011, Obama talked about his phone, and even wanted an upgrade.
Fox News reported at the time: The president, in an unscripted moment with donors in Chicago, was talking about the need to innovate in technology.
“The Oval Office, I always thought I was going to have really cool phones and stuff,” he said during a small fundraising event at a Chicago restaurant. “I’m like, c’mon guys, I’m the president of the United States. Where’s the fancy buttons and stuff and the big screen comes up? It doesn’t happen.”
The president made his off-the-cuff remarks with donors as he took questions and after reporters had been ushered out of the event. But the question and answer session was piped back to Washington by mistake and into the press briefing area where a few reporters were still working late.
