Personally I would ban blackberrys anyway for anyone who isn't travelling on work related business. Have one myself and am constantly getting in trouble for not responding to e-mails in the evenings or when I am on holidays! Can never understand someone who responds to a non-urgent e-mail from a beach somewhere or at some ridiculous hour.
I thought the secret service had said he can't have one because they are not secure enough. I wish I had that excuse!
Did anyone object to Brian Cowen because he's a smoker ?
I find it hard to believe that someone should be discriminated against in this day & age because of smoking.
Yes, I'm a smoker. I'm a healthy, active, intelligent woman. I don't smoke in my house or anybody elses or in company where it would cause offense. I don't litter. I'm a very responsible citizen but I do like the odd cigarette. Am I a criminal ??
Yes, I will give them up one day but only when Idecide. Nobody in the world but me can make that decision & the same goes for Obama.
As somebody earlier said it's good to know he's human. He seemed almost too perfect !
Another thing....I don't see the American tobacco companies looking for a bail out. Perhaps the revenues come in handy !
