I find this whole dispute about the President-Elect’s Blackberry comical. What does it say about our security and acceptance of technology when we restrict our President from using one of the most ubiquitous business tools? Sure, Parliament banned it, Putin doesn’t even call people and Skarozy isn’t allowed to have it either, but shouldn’t we lead the charge here?

I’m sure RIM would love to make a special Obaminator version of the Blackberry, perhaps one with greater encryption and the use of private communication channels. Take a look at what the NSA is using, Sectéra Edge.

The President’s Blackberry is always going to be a target; but then again hasn’t telephone communications been targeted as well. Think of how odd this would sound if we said the President couldn’t use a phone, get real! Put our best minds together to find a way to give our most tech-savvy President the tools he used to run the most effective presidential campaign ever… maybe he can translate that into running a more effective government.
