I hope he doesn’t lose it in the gym, or scratch his secret password into the cover.
How much did we pay for this super-encryption package so this crybaby could keep his toy? He should pay for it out of his own pocket since it's for PERSONAL use.
So, does this mean his blackberry emails/messages, etc. are game for the freedom of information act?
I’d give him a raspberry...
Will he be allowed to text his friends in the Middle East???
Maybe he needs the Blackberry to send text messages to his girlfriend.
I don’t believe this.
Its not about ‘security of the emails’.
Its about the fact a blackberry can be TRACKED to within 30 inches by anyone with a bit of knowledge.
Its no different than the GPS system in a vehicle, thats how ONSTAR knows where to send the EMT’s in the event of a crash.
He carries a blackberry, those that would do him, and us, harm can ‘see him’.
‘If you can see a target, you can hit it. If you can hit it, you can kill it.”
Colin Powell, during the Gulf War
That hasn’t changed, and the Secret Service knows it.
Interesting. Wonder if security is an issue in private businesses.
Will it be subject to the same kind of archiving as all of the White House communications are?
Not that the below should make us suspicious or anything...
Earlier in the transition, there was a plan to give select officials access to a Blackberry owned by the Democratic National Committee; the devices would be able to be used for political communication but would be subject to different disclosure rules.
Not saying that Obama is a "tool". But a secure Blackberry that wasn't archived would be a handy means of communication between him and his "handler".
It wasn’t the secrecy that had him surrendering his blackberry, it was the notion that all such communications would have to be archived for possible subpoena later.
How many tax payer dollars were wasted to indulge his heinous?
What a putz. All things, I imagine can be hacked. But, of course, if you are his highness; you are above your peers and it doesn’t matter whether you put American lives at risk for your own personal agenda. This guy is going to get us killed.
God Help us.
What Lola wants, Lola gets.
Based on his reluctance to relinquish the device, he should be provided with a Storm Phone preloaded with “Never Gonna Give You Up” as the ring-tone...
Going to be a hackers holiday obama needs to go lay on the white house lawn because if he’s going to act like a terd he should look like one.
I would expect that he would abide by national security provisions in place to prevent disclosure of sensitive information...but then, why would I expect HIM to recognize the importance of doing such a thing. The guy is a lightweight. But a dangerous lightweight. Let’s just hope he can keep his mouth shut and not divulge anything...oh good grief, then there’s the Bidens...
Man are we in trouble.
Doesn’t this idiot realize that with the tracking ability within the Balckbury he can be followed just about anywhere? At least think about your wife and kids if nothing else!
Please don’t be so selfish. You have been told that the use of a Blackburry is totally unsafe! For God’s sake, YOU ARE A TARGET NOW THAT YOU ARE, “Mr. PRESIDENT”!
PLEASE, as much as I don’t agree with your political views and doubt that I ever will agree with them, I DO NOT want to see you head blown off?
Between texting his buddies and working out, he won’t have time to run the country...and then we all benefit.
