This is serious stuff folks
Sorry, Mr. President. Please surrender your BlackBerry.
Those are seven words President-elect Barack Obama is dreading but expecting to hear, friends and advisers say, when he takes office in 65 days.
But before he arrives at the White House, he will probably be forced to sign off. In addition to concerns about e-mail security, he faces the Presidential Records Act, which puts his correspondence in the official record and ultimately up for public review, and the threat of subpoenas. A decision has not been made on whether he could become the first e-mailing president, but aides said that seemed doubtful.
So, when you see Obama having twitches and a strange repeating pattern of reaching for some invisible thing on his belt, now you will know why.
And Crackberry addiction is real. It can make you nuts not having it. Someone made the mistake of hooking theirs up to the PC at work Wed. night, after I had already blown town, and changed the pin by mistake, meaning I got no corporate email since. Personal, yes, but, even on PTO, I like to keep abreast, and wack non-necessary email. Just got home and hooked it up, checked corporate. Shaking has stopped.
Oh, and have fun, Barry!
