Book Description
When 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 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.

 This is an Entertaining & Hilarious fictional quick read! January 4, 2010
Chris Cross (Roswell, Georgia; USA)
This is an entertaining and hilarious fictional quick read! Basically, four comedians came together and wrote a "Book" as if it were Barack Obama's Blackberry phone during his presidency. The actual truth was before he became our president he wanted his Secret Service to have the CIA create an impenetrable Blackberry Obama could use during his presidency, which I believe was created. Don't quote me on that. Anyway, these comedians/authors create numerous texting dialogues with people in his administration for example Biden asking to leave early at 4:45pm one day to previous Presidents such as George W. Bush texting Obama asking if he had seen Barney at the White House, President Bush's Cocker Spaniel.
This is absolutely a great read and can be read by both sides of the issues because it is basic content and it doesn't paint Obama in a negative light, just his administration and everyone around him.
For the price, you will not find a better read.
Humor for the more sophisticated reader. September 30, 2009
Robert Schmidt (Honolulu, HI & Logan, UT USA)
We hear the speeches. We read the articles. What is invisible to us is the personal conversations between President Obama and others on his "A" list (and a few who want to get on that list). What would Blackberry conversations between Obama and, say, Bill Clinton, the British Prime Minister, and Michelle look like?
If you are interested, you'll want to read this slim, humorous volume.
Example: Text Message from Bill Clinton--
WildBill: hey barack!
BarackO: hey bill whats up?
WildBill: can u send Hillary to China next week?
BarackO: ?
WildBill: i'm putting together a surprise party and need her outta house
BarackO: her birthday?
WildBill: no, i'm trying to surprise MYSELF
BarackO: ?

Expect more the same... zany, irreverent, and funny.

Aaron Morris (Richmond, Virginia United States)
I loved this book. It is very short but also very funny. I finished it the same day that I received it. It is great as a bathroom book to pick up and flip through a few pages at a time. The book also makes fun of everybody so it's not as one-sided as you might think.
