<\/p>\n

Obama won’t give up his Blackberry!<\/p>\n

This is news?<\/p>\n

Why should he? He’s the Chief Executive. He’s the boss.<\/p>\n

I’m all for Obanana keeping his smart phone.<\/p>\n

He’s not just the first African American President. He’s the first President that won’t look stupid thumbing his old racketeering pals a message.<\/p>\n

“Dude. Like this is so cool. Did you guys see my new ride<\/a>?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He needs to be kept abreast when he’s sunning his washboard abs.<\/p>\n

“I want to be able to have voices, other than the people who are immediately working for me, be able to reach out and send me a message about what’s happening in America.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For example, soon-to-be disappointed voices like Peggy Joseph<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Security issues.<\/p>\n

“I think we’re going to be able to hang on to one of these. My working assumption, and this is not new, is that anything I write on an email could end up being on CNN,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oops. What the President-Elect meant to say was:<\/p>\n

“Anything that CNN writes for me to say…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

National Security?<\/p>\n

“So I make sure to think before I press ‘send’,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Let’s hope as President he thinks before he presses any<\/em> buttons.<\/p>\n

Obama’s Blackberry can take the place of his teleprompter when he’s on the fly.<\/p>\n

“If I’m doing something stupid, somebody<\/a> (in Jail-JR) in<\/a> Chicago<\/a> can send me an e-mail and say, ‘What are you doing?’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That might happen a lot<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
