OBAMA 'STILL CLINGING' TO HIS BLACKBERRY: President-elect not trying to give it up.
*President-elect Barack Obama still hasn't come to grips with the prospect of giving up his last line of direct and instant communication with friends and advisors.
“I’m still clinging to my BlackBerry,” Obama told the New York Times on Wednesday. “They’re going to pry it out of my hands.”
The BlackBerry, which has been attached to his belt for years, is an essential link to keeping him apprised of events outside his ever-tightening bubble.
“This is a concern, I should add, not just of Secret Service, but also lawyers,” Obama said. “You know, this town’s full of lawyers. I don’t know if you’ve noticed.”
As previously reported, Obama is being advised for security reasons and his own legal protection to refrain from sending e-mail during his presidency.
