Barack Obama Can’t Use His Blackberry Or E-Mail Anymore
I was watching the nightly news yesterday and there was a short story on Barack Obama and his Blackberry. Throughout his campaign and I’m sure well before that Obama has used a Blackberry. The piece talked about how the secret service will not allow Obama to use his Blackberry once he becomes President. The story cited security reasons. On top of that they said he may not even be able to use email anymore. Could you imagine not being able to use your Blackberry (or other smartphone) or email for at least four years? That alone would make me not what to run for the presidency (not like anyone was pushing me to do so). This begs the questions, what would you do if you couldn’t use your Blackberry or email for four years?

Seems crazy I agree.
Here’s the “but…”
As president, everything he says, writes, does is part of the presidential public record.
Ask Richard Nixon (if you could…) what he thinks of technology used in nasty ways.
So it is not so much “security” as helping him avoid having his ass sued +/- 150 times per day for the smallest things taken out of context. (at least in California)
