I love Gmail, but apparently so does the current administration.
Two years after launching the most technologically savvy presidential campaign in history, Obama officials ran smack into the constraints of the federal bureaucracy yesterday, encountering a jumble of disconnected phone lines, old computer software, and security regulations forbidding outside e-mail accounts.
Oddly reminiscent of the move back into the-not-quite-completed-Stevenson-Hall move we experienced August, I can't even imagine trying to run the country with outdated or non-existent technology. Clearly they only way to tackle the bureaucracy is to call on Google.
officials in the press office were prepared: In addition to having their own cellphones, they set up Gmail accounts, with approval from the White House counsel, so they could send information in more than one way.
