Liz 4Obama Addicted to CrackBerry
January 10th 2009 18:02
Obama is addicted to his BlackBerry (also known as the CrackBerry). He has been seen around town emailing, texting, and calling on his beloved mobile phone at all hours of the day and night. Presidential security is in the process of trying to pry Obama’s phone away from him in fear that tech-saavy no-gooders will be able to use the BlackBerry’s GPS system to track Mr. Obama. . "This is a problem," Obama said to ABC’s Barbara Walters about having to give up his BlackBerry. "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. And I'm in the process of negotiating with the Secret Service, with lawyers, with White House staff."
Obama may be the first technical-savvy president to date, making known his need to, "stay in touch with the flow of everyday life.” He has also shown the desire to have a computer as well. "I'm still clinging to my BlackBerry. They're going to pry it out of my hands," he said. "I think I'm going to be able to get access to a computer somewhere. It may not be right in the Oval Office. The second thing I'm hoping to do is to see if there's some way that we can arrange for me to continue to have access to a BlackBerry.”
While freely talking about his addiction, advertising experts say Obama’s shout outs to the BlackBerry has created $25-$50 million dollars worth of free endorsements.
