obama and the internet
16 Nov 2008An interesting article in the NYT about Obama’s transition into office including basically being wrenched forcibly off the internet. Can you imagine taking a job where it was actually a legal and security challenge to allow you to communicate freely with the outside world? I guess this means twitter is just right out, then.
While I get why it happens, it’s kind of sad, not just because I hate to think the job has to suck, but also because it just increases the “President in a bubble” effect. That hasn’t served us well lately.
