As for what Obama reads online, his advisers said he looks for offbeat blogs and news stories, tracking down firsthand reporting and seeking out writers with opinions about his policies. Obama was particularly interested in Atlantic Online's Andrew Sullivan's tweeting of the Iranian elections last year, said an aide, who requested anonymity to discuss what influences the president.
When they spoke for attribution, administration officials played down the notion of a Googling commander in chief.
"I don't think time permits him to be surfing all the time," Axelrod said, adding that the president reads "magazines like crazy," including the New Yorker, the Economist, Sports Illustrated and Rolling Stone. "There are some commentators whose views he's interested in, and he'll read blog items."
"Periodically, I mention to him articles that I have found particularly interesting, and that he might find interesting, and a very high fraction of the time he has already read them and has some kind of reaction," economic adviser Lawrence H. Summers said.
Across the administration, people who work closely with the president said he remains fond of his BlackBerry and communicates directly, rather than running everything through his chief of staff.

I am getting in the ugly habit of screaming at my television set whenever that #$%%## comes so much so I am losing my voice. My God what has the ignorant voting public done.
Does he read Playgirl?
>Pfaw. Wonder what his DU name is...
‘Awesome-o 3000’
Every executive knows not to leave a paper trail for anything that could come back to haunt them. But Obama has no executive experience.
hmmmmm....let’s see 1) hasn’t met a campaign promise 2) left the enormous task of healthcare reform to Reid and Pelosi 3) enables our enemies every time he speaks 4) reads
mags because he isn’t able to create an original thought.
5) uses his Blackberry as cache for “talking points”
That about covers it!
