Apple undos rejection of iPhone app with Obama art

Apple has reversed course on the rejection an iPhone app featuring art of President Obama, reports MacNN.

The app was initially blocked because it contains Shepard Fairey's famous "Hope" poster, from Obama's 2008 election campaign. While the subject of its own rights controversies, Apple initially cited the art as simply inappropriate, due to ridiculing public figures. The classification was paradoxical, as Obama himself has been a supporter of Fairey's work.
