Is It Worth Being President If You Have To Give Up Your Blackberry?

I mean, really. How much can we ask a commander-in-chief to sacrifice? Trackable cell phones and email that can be subpoenaed are are not advisable, and could compromise security.
We know that Obama is a crackberry addict who is into texting and twittering. George W. Bush was a frequent e-mailer who had to give that up when he became president. But that was before Blackberrys and texting became such prominent parts of our existence. Obama’s already had to give up smoking. How much more can one be expected to sacrifice?
I would think that there is a more secure device that is given to presidents. What will he ever do if moveon.org can’t “IM” him instructions on how to run the country.

I guess the same thing that James Dobson did if he could’nt reach Bush with a fax.

People spend so much time communicating, and keeping in touch, and reaching out, and texting, and twittering, and this kind of thing, I don’t know how they have any time left over to actually accomplish anything.

I guess the same thing George W Bush did if Dick Cheney or Don Rumsfeld couldn’t reach him to tell him how to run the country, because it’s very obvious he didn’t have the sense to run it on his own!

It´s a great thing to see here in Lima, that the whole world is united, keeping democracy and freedom alive and strong everywhere.
This is what the world wants, and this is what we all thrive to achieve and maintain –democracy.
