Oh? Considering how this site LOVES to publish the never ending exploits in a constantly connected world, what am I missing? Of course his email would be hacked. It would get hacked in a nanosecond.

If this were true the DOD couldn't function. I don't think he should have a gmail account. I think he should have communications tools that are on a private network which is hardened by pros. According to this article the President doesn't even have a laptop. Thats not a deference to security. Its a deference to a old way of thinking that executives don't work with "word processors".

Comparing the DoD and their specific tools with what the Executive Branch would use is night and day. C'mon... you gotta admit, if the Pres was rockin a laptop, that shit would be p0wn3d faster than you can say "laptop". It's too risky a vector to open. A blackberry would be even worse, since it's mobile, relies on a centrally located server for push email, and... [shudder] CANADIAN!
