Quite right! President-elect Barack Obama says he has a plan to retain his beloved Blackberry once he moves into the White House tomorrow. The security types are beside themselves. Why? Because they see it as their business to control POTUS and get very touchy if they can't.He is, to certain extent, hampered by the requirement of the post-Watergate Presidential Records Act of 1978 to keep a record of every White House communication. But let's have a bit of common sense. I reckon this President is going to be a man of the people and not a man for the government machinery. He's got a good brain on him. He'll find a legitimate, honest and practical way to keep his Blackberry. It will be better all round.
I'm getting visions of Michael J Fox's character buzzing around Michael Douglas' president, in that marvellous film, An American President. "Not now, Lewis!". The movie's tagline? Well it was - Why can't the most powerful man in the world have the one thing he wants most?
