WINNERS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
Here's a funny little book to mark
President Obama's first 100 days.
Well, it's past 100 days, but as President Obama said
at the Correspondent's Dinner, he's well into the
10th anniversary of his first 100 days,
so this is just some kind of extension of that.
at the Correspondent's Dinner, he's well into the
10th anniversary of his first 100 days,
so this is just some kind of extension of that.
What we have here is:
When President Obama stated that if elected, he would keep his Blackberry, debate echoed through Washington and among the ranks of the Secret Service. What would it be like to have a president who could Twitter, send text messages, and navigate the web with ease? What would it be like to receive a text message from inside the Oval Office and, most importantly, what would it say?
Now, for the first time, We The People are privy to our new leader's epistolary back-and-forths on his wily hand-held device. We're about to discover that his emails (and the replies, from his wife and daughters, Biden, Palen, Rush, Hannity, the new first puppy, and even Bush) are so tuned in to the language of electronic correspondence they come hilariously close to the brink of legibility.
This giftable, imagined glimpse into President Obama's beloved Blackberry traverses the mundane and momentous contours of the Commander in Chief's life, from security briefings to spam, basketball practice to domestic bliss, and the panic of oops-I-hit-reply-all, to, of course, the trauma of dealing with the First Mother In Law.
To wit:
BidenMyTime: Hey U, whatcha doin?
BARACKO: M rly busy
BidenMyTime: Right :( Can I lv at 4:45?

I don't have a blackberry but I want one :(( I currently have a LG Chocolate. I guess if it messes up I'd get a blackberry and I love to text but truly I only text family mostly my husband. I do have an ipod touch I use for email,instant messaging,and texting too as long as I have a Wi-Fi Connection. I'm addicted to my ipod touch
I'm one of the few people left without a cell phone. totally capable of texting when I get to use my husbands and I'd love an iPod Touch. My husband would so enjoy the Obama's Blackberry book.

I am sorry to wait until the last day to post a comment but finishing up the school year and all the giveaways has been crazy. I monitor so I read all your delightful comments and thank you ALL for entering. I was thrilled at how many of you don't text or even have a device to text as I thought I was the only one! Good luck and tonight will post winners so still a chance for a few more entries. Have a great Sunday!
