There should be no reason for Barack Obama as the president of the United States to have to carry a Blackberry. It is not needed and definately can't be justified considering how his blackberry would most definately be targeted by would-be hackers. It can be hacked and most likely would be. It's simple.. don't have any type of cellphone if your the president... That's the way it's been and it really shouldn't change in my opinion I believe that this is a no brainer.

Our country is in a recession and all some seem to worry about is that President-Elect Obama is still using his Blackberry. Let's be realistic, he's an adult; and therefore, I'm pretty sure that he knows that there are a number of priviledges that he now has to relinquish. So instead of worrying about his phone, we need to direct our attention toward more important issues. For example, a better way to achieve a college education and the war in Iraq.

That's only one reason why he must--at the very least--limit using his blackberry.

Stop complaining about the israeli gov't and military for not letting the foreign media outlets , like CNN into the Gaza strip. This time it's a war! not a video game! it's a war of our survival, regardless what you and the other media outlets are claiming. The west has to realize, this war is not about land, this war is about protecting western values and civilization against radical islamist. which would do everything in their power to reach their goal. WAKE UP AMERICA AND EUROPE! When the Israeli authorities and military will decide that it's ok for the foreign media to come in, that's when you will be able to roll your cameras. this comments is intended for Mr. Cooper, Mr. Robertson and Ms. Amanpour.

Why not tell America that Israel now uses dirty chemical bombs that burn its victims, many children, to the bones and reignite unless you extinguish the flames with sand? Read lefigaro.fr , watch their videos and TV programs for more information and talk about it if you stick to journalistic ethics and have the courage to report the truth. This Israeli agression must end. I see these little children get hurt by Israelis, suffering terribly, and then remember the little children driven to their deaths in Nazi gas chambers. Someone has to point such things out to unaware Americans. Our government has to stop this otherwise we are going to be attacked again by terrorists for our allegiance to this Israeli torture of innocent civilians and especially children. Nobody is entitled to kill and torture children. If they do, they should be punished. Anderson Cooper – you are a courageous man.

Obama is still President-Elect! I believe what he has accomplished is that he got a transition team together, nominated people for cabinet positions, and has been talking to Congress and the american people helping to prepare them for what needs to be done, as well as gathering as much information that he can that will assist him with making the decisions that he needs to make. He is not our president yet! Nor should we think of him as such! George W. Bush is our President and will continue to be so until noon of January 20th! JC can I just remind you?

Unfortunately, looking at all the risks I don't see how keeping it could be justified. The danger to him and to the country is too great. Lot of good reasons for Obama not to have a blackberry.
