"in a way that use will be limited and that the security is enhanced to ensure his ability to communicate."Each message will carry a header that says, "Official Communication of the President of the United States intended for _______. If this is you, blink once, if not, blink twice."

I trust his Blackberry emails will be made public on a monthly basis. He himself said his new government will be transparent.

It’s his portable Tele-Prompter.

Reminds me of the little kid being told by his parents to quit playing with his video games and get to bed. Then the kid throws a temper tantrum and the parents give in by allowing him to keep on playing it since taking it away would hurt his feelings.

Yup. Another dhimmicrat who thinks that security rules are for “everyone else”.
All animals are equal - but some animals are more equal.
Gads, dhimmis are so, so simple and transparent.

As usual, the NYT gets it wrong with the headline: "For a High-Tech President, a Hard-Fought E-Victory". They want to imply that The One is a technical genius, particularly compared with the cave man Bush.
Actually though, the blackberry issue is one of document storage. A voice is forever lost into the air. A Blackberry message is forever stored digitally, and cannot legally be erased. It is available for Discovery (in the legal definition - It can be read by anyone filing a Discovery request). The One is opening himself to years of litigation for this.

Every text sent or received on that Blackberry, 24/7 is now subject to the
Presidential Records Act, and must be completely preserved.
Five years after Zero leaves office, those records can be viewed through the Freedom of Information Act.
It was Blackberry text messages that brought down the Mayor of Detroit Kwame Kirtpactrick. Be careful what you wish for, Barry...

How will his physical location NOT be trackable to ten feet by foreign intelligence services and others?

0’s crackberry will be his undoing. That thing should be hacked within the month. I just hope the hackers wait longer than the Blago prosecutors before spilling the beans.

I thought he told everyone to put childish things aside? He didn't really say that, did he?

Yeah it was part of his speech. I think he was eluding to one of Pauls writings in the gosples. Too bad he never grew up.

It will be. He is an idiot.

That’s what I was thinking -
this thing is his “brain”,
where he can ask Wright and Ayers what he should do on a constant basis.

He also called for a new era of responsibility,
which his followers correctly interpreted as
a new era of SOMEONE ELSE’S responsibility.

Of course this use of the blackberry will be secure and he would never use it to convey anything that would help Americans enemeis... The Secret Service is probably extremely unhappy. All it takes is one intercepted message where Hussein discloses where he will be at a predictable point in time at a relatively unprotected place.

A caller to Glenn Beck said another issue is that when it is turned on, the GPS can pinpoint its position very closely so it is not only the communication that is insecure. Even without GPS, the way a cell phone gets incoming calls is the cell tower "pings" it, and it responds "yes, I'm in range of you and able to take incoming calls".
The way we got Pablo Escobar in Columbia was with a piece of equipment which pinged his cell phone and triangulated on his position based on its response transmission.
There is a reason why Presidents didn't carry cell phones.

I heard that too. I wonder if they can turn that off or shield it? Otherwise, that is majorly dangerous.

He keeps it on on top his doodle pad and crayons in the right hand top desk drawer in the desk of the Oval Office.
His Wii is behind a wall panel.
