OBAMA TRYING TO KEEP HIS BLACKBERRY

IN THE NEWS: OBAMA TRYING TO KEEP HIS BLACKBERRY

CHICAGO (AP) - Not so fast on the idea that President-elect Barack Obama will have to give up his BlackBerry once he takes the oath as president. In his TV interview yesterday with Barbara Walters, Obama says he is still trying to find a way to hang on to his mobile communications device. Some security experts have noted that any e-mail sent to or from Obama would be subject to public scrutiny or even a subpoena. And there's concern that having celluar contact might be subject to snooping -- or having his whereabouts tracked. For Obama, his biggest concern is to keep from being isolated from everyone except those in his inner circle. He says "1 of the worst things" that can happen to a president is to lose touch with what people are going through in their day-to-day lives.
