Ring, ring. That’s the Commander in Chief Calling you.

Sure you can vote in November. But why wait to get a ringtone from a future Commander in Chief.

Barak Obama’s campaign appears the hippest to the cellular set, with more than a dozen customized ringtones   from speeches or recorded by B. himself, including rap, club and bluegrass clips, and a Plain Jane recording of him saying “This is Barak Obama. It’s time to change America and answer the call. (Get it? “Answer the call.” )

Hillary Clinton doesn’t seem to have her own ringtones on her website. (Correct us if she does) But lots of other people do. Here’s one from myxertones.com, with her saying “I want you Barak Obama.” (Funny, taken out of context.) Slate.com has one of her laughing  rather awkwardly. Ok, really awkwardly.

Quotones.com has a half dozen John McCain ringtones with quotes about staying in Iraq 100 years, getting the “Guatemalans off his lawn” and a joking that he missed parties in the 1960s because he was “tied up at the time.”
