Please take away Obama's Blackberry
Bob Powers

Barack Obama continues his valiant fight to keep his Blackberry after he is sworn into the presidency, and we don't give a crap. Obama says they'll have to "pry it out of my hands." Dude, just give it to them. You're the president. Stop throwing a fit because your staff wants to keep "LOL" out of the national archives. Grounded teenagers give up their Sidekicks with more grace.

We get why Barack wants to keep it, but we're tired of reading the story about how much the president loves his damn phone. We don't blame Barack. The story keeps being revived because Barack's love for his blackberry just underlines how tech-savvy and "with it" our new president is, and that stuff gets hits.

You know who else loves their Blackberries? A-holes! Before Barack we all had no problem crapping all over the yuppie who slams right into you on the sidewalk because he refuses to take his eyes off his "Crackberry" (hilarious!). If Barack's love for his Blackberry is going to make these kinds of A-holes feel validated, pry that thing out of his hands right now.

Please, once and for all, someone take away Barack Obama's Blackberry. Journalists will stop writing about it, and we can all go on living in a world where it really doesn't matter if our President can send an email from his pants. Whether Obama has a Blackberry or not, we're all still going to lose our jobs.
