For years, like legions of other on-the-move professionals, Obama has been all but addicted to his BlackBerry...
But before he arrives at the White House, he will probably be forced to sign off. In addition to concerns about keeping e-mail secure, he faces the Presidential Records Act, which puts his correspondence in the official record and ultimately up for public review, and the threat of subpoenas.
Isn't there something in the constitution about prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment? Seriously! Isn't being President brutal enough?
For all the perquisites and power afforded the president, the chief executive of the United States is essentially deprived by law and by culture of some of the very tools that other chief executives depend on to survive and to thrive. Obama, however, seems intent on pulling the office at least partly into the 21st century on that score; aides said he hopes to have a laptop computer on his desk in the Oval Office, making him the first American president to do so.
You mean there isn't already a laptop in the Oval Office? Oy. How do presidents play Brickbreaker, or Kitty Solitaire?
