Letter to the Editor
Your recent article, titled “Obama’s personal win: Keeping the Blackberry” written by Lisa Tolin, is interesting for two reasons. At first glance, one would not categorize this article as very newsworthy. It’s an article primarily about the technology that Obama is allowed to keep that past presidents have not been able to like a personal e-mail address and cell phone number. There are also a few other interesting and silly things thrown in there: the scavenger hunt the Obama girls had that ended with finding the Jonas Brothers, humor about the new puppy and the worry that Michelle Obama faces everyday, will the Obama’s lose their family routines? While these things may seem silly and not deserving of a place in the Seattle Times, they are humanizing and admirable traits of the First Family. These small glimpses give Americans hope and joy. Also, it is incredible that Obama will be able to keep his Blackberry because no other president has been able to do so. He had to meet with numerous lawyers, secret service agents and members of congress in order to make this happen. While Barack will keep his private line, only a few close members of the family will be able to reach him through it. It’s a matter of encomium, everyone praises the Obama family and the feats they have overcome to be such an admirable First Family. Because of this, I love that Tolin wrote this article. It contributes to the sense of Hope I already feel. Barack Obama is breaking records left and right, which puts smiles on everyone’s faces.
