Obama looses his BlackBerry

President-elect Obama has been addicted to his BlackBerry for some time. Indeed he was often seen reading his emails on the campaign trail.

It seems however that he will not be "allowed" to continue using his beloved mobile device.

The reason: the Presidential records Act. This means that his email communications would be open to public scrutiny.

But why is this such a problem? The Democrats hate the Bush administration partly because of its secretive nature; why not be open themselves?

We already know the nature of some of Senator Obama's emails - he would often send messages like "Sox!" when the Chicago White Sox won a game.

And why do we know all this? Because the Democrats are being open, or because they want us all to know how cool their man is?
