Obama Keeps His Blackberry (And Gets a Sectera)

InternetVoting writes "After all the controversy surrounding Obama's Blackberry, word has come that he will get to keep it. Few details are available and neither the National Security Agency nor the White House are talking. The current rumor is that the Blackberry will be used exclusively for personal use and a Sectera Edge will be used for official communications."

    Another first for President Obama. I am sure he "brought all sides together" to hammer out a compromise.

    Since he said he wanted to keep his Black Berry in order to "keep in touch" with ordinary folks, I wonder how I can get a hold of him. I would like to inform him about corruption, nepotism and cronyism in my department.

    We wouldn't get that much luck.

    I think there is a need for security from some of those who voted against him or chose not to vote, though -- just look at some of the trolls around here. Apparently, Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to fail; I bet some of his listeners would be willing to use force to make that happen. There is an internal risk as well as an external risk, and his security team will realise that.

    Just what we need! Another story about Obama's BlackBerry. No doubt I'll be modded Troll for stating that this topic has been covered to death. ENOUGH!

    Hmmm...I'm not buying this.

    There were plenty of people that saw this train wreck coming and tried to rein it in.

    And if he is so damned smart, why wasn't he able to pay the taxes he owed in a timely manner like all of us regular, apparently not so smart people are able to do? Either he is dumber than the rest of us or he thought himself so important he couldn't be botherd.
