“I’m still clinging to my BlackBerry,” Mr. Obama said Wednesday. “They’re going to pry it out of my hands.”

Oh, really?

Hey Zero!

If you don't want to be parted from your crackberry, I'll be happy to pound it up your XXX nose with a hammer ... then you'll always have it.

No?

Do not want?

Guess what, bucko ... you're about to become president ... that makes you our servant. We have to keep you accountable.

Accountability. You know: that little thing you've been paying millions of dollars to an army of XXXXXXX lawyers to avoid?

Well, now you're stuck. Deal with it.

Jackass!

BlackBerries are not mentioned in the Constitution so therefore he cannot be compelled to surrender it under any Federal investigation of his communications. < /ACLU talking points >

He is a radical of a higher caliber than the Clintons are radicals. That is to say, we knew that Clinton demonstrated against his own country on foreign soil during wartime, that he is a draft dodger, a womanizer. The American people were forewarned, although the media covered for the Clintons as well. We know very little about Obama - what he’s done, what he’ll do - and we can thank the MSM for that.
