Barack Obama Looking For Ways to Keep His BlackBerry

Share      

As reported earlier, the powers that be are trying to strip President-Elect Obama of his beloved BlackBerry. Well, it isn’t gonna go out without a fight. In a recent interview with Barbara Walters, he revealed that he was working to find a solution to the whole surrender-your-cellphones at the door policy.

"One of the things that I’m going to have to work through is how to break through the isolation, the bubble that exists around the president," Obama said. "And I’m in the process of negotiating with the Secret Service, with lawyers, with White House staff … to figure out how can I get information from outside of the 10 or 12 people who surround my office in the White House. Because one of the worst things I think that can happen to a president is losing touch with the struggles that people are going through every day."

No word on how White House officials will take to his insurgence. Maybe he’ll just get a DS and call it a day.
