Book Giveaway: Obama's Blackberry

I'm authorized to give away 5 copies. Rules for entry in the drawing are below. Please read them carefully.

Obama's BlackBerry
By Kasper Hauser
6/8/2009
Little, Brown and Company
144

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.

To wit:

BidenMyTime: Hey U, whatcha doin?
BARACKO: M rly busy
BidenMyTime: Right :( Can I lv at 4:45?

I wish I were the kind of person who said "OMG". Because my response would be, OMG, that sounds hilarious!

Sign me up, scotty! (Sorry, in light of the recent Star Trek release and my own nerdiness, I had to. Forgive me.)

I think this book really humanizes Obama even moreso and connects him with regular Americans. I would love to win and take a peek inside Obama's world.
Thank you for the giveaway :)
