i was so happy to see this. i mean, seriously, i've been longing for a president that "gets it" when it comes to technology, and wants to truly stay in touch... and then they were trying to take that away from him? good for him for sticking to his guns on that issue. i think he'll be a better president for it.

I second that.finally a mobile president that's productive and gets technology

I'm more interested in his foreign policy and his solutions for our economy than I am about him being able to play with a crackberry. It's cool, but very far from being as important as some are making it out to be.

I don't care if the NSA has approved of him using the device. It just seems like an unnecessary risk to me. Anything can be hacked in this day and age.
- Ken McNamee
he wouldn't be using it for anything top-secret, that's for sure. i agree that anything can be hacked, but i don't think that's too much of a concern with what he'd be using it for.

Shawn, how do you know what he'll be using it for? Also, history is filled with instances of intelligence agencies compiling seemingly innocuous communications into a broader picture of events that may transpire. All Obama has to do is one day tell someone he is looking forward to spending some time back home and the next day mention that he's craving a particular meal at a restaurant, etc. It won't take long before an enemy can figure out where he will be at a specific time and exploit that.
