Default Black-Buried!

Obama has to cough up his blackberry, because using it violates some of the open info statutes. Not since Bill Clinton had to disable the hootchie app on his iPhone has this issue been as salient. Here is the question: Shouldn't some areas of a President's communication existence be off-limits? If so, what should the limits be? "There is nothing to Twitter but tweets themselves."

Something about presidential communications being subject to archiving.

Bush stopped sending eMail cold turkey 8 years ago. I wonder if his old AOL account is sill available.

Clinton also stopped using email when he was in office.

I suspect Obama will have a harder time of it because he is a Crackberry addict. Blackberry is king in DC, so secure communication isn't an issue. eMail can be archived via a BES server.

I suspect he will keep using eMail. Strikes me as someone that will want transparency in his administration - and that includes communication.

Why no laptop in the oval office? That makes no sense. There isn't already one?

I heard someone say they don't want him having the blackberry due to that it might be trackable and they don't want that.
