There’s certainly been nothing but concern and gossip surrounding President Obama and his BlackBerry ever since he was elected to office. Would it be safe? Couldn’t it be hacked? Shouldn’t he be on some sort of special super-encrypted Berry? World famous hacker Kevin Mitnick was even caught commenting that the President’s BlackBerry would still be hackable (albeit a long shot). Whatever the case, below is a funny look from the New Yorker on what President Obama’s ideal BlackBerry might look like.

Some of the key buttons to note:

3. Press to play prerecorded “Love to, but this term’s no good” response to Senator McCain lunch request.
6. Alarm flashes if Malia and Sasha are jumping on Lincoln’s bed.
7. Push to get Rahm Emanuel’s Wisecrack of the Day.
11. Tap once to activate C.I.A. briefing. Tap twice to activate C.I.A.-briefing lie detector.
13. Automatic alert beeps if Al Gore is within one mile of White House.
19. Press to refresh current Cabinet roster.

Funny stuff. Happy Friday.
