Not an Obama fan? Then you might want to jump on this bandwagon and download the "Obama Clock," which is currently No. 2 on the iTunes App Store’s best-seller list for "reference” apps. The 99-cent iPhone app tracks the president’s popularity according to Rasmussen polling data, and also displays the US unemployment rate, the gas price index, FHFA's house price index, the national debt, and, of course, how much time is left before the next president—whomever that may be!—gets sworn in.

Its creator tells the Daily Caller that the app is only meant as a way of “keeping someone accountable." Stats on GOP presidential contenders are also available, and the creator says he wants the app to be “more of a ‘President’s Clock.’” (More iPhone apps stories.)
