HuffPo’s Sam Stein, who recently pooh-poohed health insurance cancellation letters sent to millions of Americans, is having problems with his iPhone data. Ever helpful, NRO’s Greg Pollowitz hits a home run with this appropriately snarky Obamacare promise joke:
Apple promised @samsteinhp if he liked his data, he could keep his data.

Others made similar quips:
.@samsteinhp You could have kept all that stuff if Microsoft didn't do everything in their power to derail and root against your phone

.@samsteinhp You didn't lose that stuff.. It was all just transitioned onto something better

@samsteinhp Now did Apple ever make a promise that if you liked your content you could keep it?

.@samsteinhp If only Samsung would have helped Apple with that software these problems could have all been avoided
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) November 20, 2013
.@samsteinhp It was all just junk media anyway..
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) November 20, 2013
.@samsteinhp Curious..Does it say anywhere in the license agreement that you could keep all that media if you liked it?
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) November 20, 2013
.@samsteinhp You sound pretty pissed that you had this great thing that you weren't supposed to lose by updating, and you still lost it..

We’d be wary of drawing larger lessons from Stein’s problems. After all, it’s just an anecdote. Then again, maybe this is what Obama meant when he compared the awful Obamacare rollout to the unveiling of new Apple software.
