No He Can't. Keep his BlackBerry, that is."I'm still clinging to my BlackBerry," says the President-elect in an interview with CNBC and the New York Times when asked about being forced to surrender his old cell phone upon taking office.
Although a new phone is necessary for security reasons, Barack is not thrilled about the idea. "They're going to pry it out of my hands," he jokes.
They say talk is cheap, but his remarks could have earned him a pretty penny. Should Barack have charged the company for his endorsements, he could have made over 25 million dollars according to advrtising experts. Doug Shabelman, the president of a company that arranges such celebrity endorsements says, "This would be almost the biggest endorsement deal in the history of endorsements."
