    It looks like President Obama has outlasted the Secret Service and will be allowed to keep his beloved BlackBerry 8830


    I have bad news for the secret service. He is the President. He can do whatever he damn well likes. If he wants to go visit foreign leaders and do a little M.C. Hammer dance move while replying to his homeys on the 8830, then that is exactly what he will do.

    I am still kind of confused as to why he can use if for personal use. If the worry is that someone could hack the system to find him through the GPS, or get into his personal information, what changes if he doesn't use if for "business" purposes.


    I doubt he is texting the nuke launch codes to Biden anyway.

    @zenpoet: And what is the official line on what is business and what is personal? If he sends an email to someone saying he will "be late to dinner b/c he's in tough negotiations", is that a mix? The dinner is personal, but if someone on the other side of the negotiations read that he felt they were "tough", that would affect something official. Very gray/fuzzy line, and those only get fuzzier.

    Not trying to sound like a troll, but is he trying to say there are communications that he can have with people outside his family int he government/private sector that he doesn't have to tell anyone about? Isn't that something people lambasted the last administration about?

    @StacheSportin'_GitEmSteveDave: Just because he can keep it and have it for "personal use" doesn't mean the data isn't available for sifting through if a subpeona asked for it.


    I think the issue was the opposite - that if he tried to use it for everything, official business wouldn't be secure.

I know you said that it's "TS" you spell the way you do, but I used to proofread lower school kids papers that had better grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Your posts sometimes become painful to read. Second, Jonestown used Flavor-Aid.


    Lastly, yes, they did have a record. But my point is that at first there was a boundary, and it became fuzzy. I wasn't the leader of the United States of America though, and didn't send out any information that could result in bad things happening that could affect many people.

    @SJRNWT: Uhm, the Afghanistan war is very much justified for having started it. Now the bigger question you should be asking is why was the initial decision to go to war w/ Iraq damn near unanimous? Even Bill Clinton supported it.


    But of course, when the "evidence of weapons of mass destruction" never appeared... Well, a lot of people backtracked and the Dems weren't quite capable of holding the Dems responsible for their own votes. So they just blamed the republicans and Bush instead.

    Speaking in front of it was obviously acceptance of the message, as well, he has said it was a regret of his that he spoke in front of that banner, so he clearly didn't blame the men of the ship as you so have.

    I don't think he blames the men at all. Hell, I don't blame the men. The sailors were happy to be home, they accomplished their mission. The end. I don't like Bush either. I just don't blame him for things he didn't do. He did enough on his own w/out people making crap up.

    @Lite: Likes movies about gladiators.:
    Your facts are not entirely correct. The following is from a CNN article on CNN.com:


    Navy and administration sources said that though the banner was the Navy's idea, the White House actually made it.


    White House spokesman Scott McClellan told CNN that in preparing for the speech, Navy officials on the carrier told Bush aides they wanted a "Mission Accomplished" banner, and the White House agreed to create it.


    "We took care of the production of it," McClellan said. "We have people to do those things. But the Navy actually put it up."

    Still, Bush did it for 8 years, and if an idiot like him can do it, I'm sure Barack will too (on the other hand, Bush probably didn't even know how to use email when he got in office, so he didn't lose much)
