Gadget Geek In Chief Confiscates Others'

A President who's addiction to his Blackberry forced the Secret Service to devise one capable of satisfying his own brat-bink fixation while remaining secure from hackers and spies, has his staff confiscate and separate his fellow suckers from their own cell phones if they are to be seated at "private fund-raisers at which he is to appear.

The bugaboo of the two-faced political hack - the revealing video - has so threatened the candidate running "unopposed" by his own party is the concern of all his campaign handlers.   Isolating and pampering the Little Prince has so led him to paranoia that while, on the one hand Obama is disguised as a sitting President campaigning on the taxpayers' largess, maximizing the advantage of the incumbency, on the other hand, the prospect of video of one of his arrogant say-whatever-will-seperate-them-from-their-money videos appearing on You Tube so threatens his icon status that the deep pockets at the event will be separated from their techno-toys as a condition of admission.

This "news" of the management of news is, of course, routine for this crowd, but to be outed this way on a level that is so central to his identity as a hipster clearly disrobes the "Judgment" candidate as somebody who thoroughly doubts himself.  Hidden in his eyes, the fear and the resentment of anybody attempting to be regular folks in his presence is driving the billion dollar campaign to curb the very unifying practice that made the arrugula-munchers his social kin in the first place.

It would appear that four years of lap-dog media treatment has solidified the staff's copping of the right to commandeer the evenings of those who pony up and attend such functions designed to fill the coffers for their continued self-indulgence.
