It is not that he fact that he got this that bothers me, it's the fact that it is useless, wastefull spending we cannot allow right now.
It's like we have a whining kid for president, stamping his feet in the oval office because he cannot continue to use his toy.

May be you think a Blackberry is a toy... but I KNOW that mine is an important tool that I use for alot of business. I think he has just brought the office of the president into the 21st century and the only real expense is that they have to write a proxy server that logs all of his emails and make a Blackberry that uses the NSA satellite network, instead of a carrier. I don't see anything wrong with giving the man the tools he needs to do his job efficiently and I think that it is a tool that will get use from alot of top govt. officials.
