Heh. Good point, Tony, thanks for pointing this out. The presidents-and-email thing, that did strike me as slightly odd when I first heard it. Hopefully Obama's lawyers will find a way around this issue?

Hi, Nice blog! The questionnaire is “best-practice” in the White House, not an Obama invention. However, really radical will be if Obama convinces the legislative to allow him to use email. If so, he will be THE FIRST U.S. PRESIDENT EVER TO USE EMAIL. believe it or not… Tschuss, TT

If I were to fill out the questionnaire, I’d lie. The Obamanator just wants the information so he can blackmail his staff members once the new fascist state is put into place.
