It is not just about email.

Any device that has a phone in it, and any phones can be traced. Even if a phone is turned off, it still can be traced. It means people can find his location at any time. The only way to make someone's phone untraceable is to keep it in a metal sleeve or take the battery out.

So this is a real security issue and he is putting the SS in a bad position.

Did Bush ever give a Top Secret communication.

Watch Letterman while you can and see his speeches.

Other than knowing where Obama might be and what roads
he will be on by tapping into his blackberry, the arrangements
for JFK didn't help one bit as the drive around Dallas was
plastered all over the papers.

Saved me from picking up the late addition.

ED: Tin foil blackberry pockets to protect you from incoming
Illuminati personnel rockets or invisible UFO bombs.

Come on people - it's not even about security.
He's not allowed to have it - period - end of story.
Do you not remember the Sarah Palin Email stories or thread.
He is not allowed to HIDE any of his communications - and any phone calls or emails on his private phone would be as good as hidden.
He can't do it - I don't care if you do think he is "THE ONE"

Obama will be captured by the Illuminati big time
by giving up his only link to the outside world.

He might as well be abducted by Aliens.

Yup yup yup.
Where are the people that gave it to Palin when someone hacked her email?

Seems I remember them saying something about just how careless and stupid she was.
But I guess this type of carelessness is ok now.

Aye caramba.

"In related news, the produce section of local grocery stores are BOOMING with demands to carry fresh blackberries to celebrate President Obama's inauguration. It is unclear at the point whether they will be eaten fresh, used to make healthy desserts or be thrown at political figureheads in protest." - Faux News, 'We care about useless stuff too'

What does Obama need a BlackBerry for?I mean, there are simpler, cheaper ways to get emails and phone calls.

Seems to me the BlackBerry and all "smart phones" are wholly unnecessary these days. I say we class them as "assault" phones and push to regulate them.

Trade in your assault phone now Obama. A nice rotary connected to a land line is all you need for making calls.

I'd slap him if I could.
