Obama BlackBerry Features

Last post about Obama’s BlackBerry–I promise. The issue of Obama using a special BlackBerry as a tool to lead has remained in the press even after Obama has settled into office. On a recent interview on American TV, Obama joked that his BlackBerry turns into a car. The New Yorker also posted an illustration of Obama’s BlackBerry’s features and functions, including “Press to play prerecorded ‘Love to, but this term’s no good’ response to Senator McCain lunch request” and “Alarm flashes if Malia and Sasha are jumping on Lincoln’s bed.”

Even without these ’special features,’ that Obama can use a BlackBerry to keep in touch with his closest advisors will certainly help him keep up to date on the latest important developments. Hopefully this enhanced awareness will help him to govern fairly and transparently.
