“It’s like Inspector Gadget. If you touched it, it might blow up. It turns into a car if I have to make a quick getaway.” When Lauer asked about who has the coveted number, Obama said he wouldn’t give it to Lauer but he might give it to Lauer’s young son Jack, prompting Lauer to whisper, “Jack, give it to your pappa.”

From Obama’s remarks at the uber exclusive Alfalfa Dinner on Saturday night:

“In just the first few weeks, I’ve had to engage in some of the toughest diplomacy of my life. And that was just to keep my Blackberry. I finally agreed to limit the number of people who could email me. It’s a very exclusive list. How exclusive? Everyone look at the person sitting on your left. Now look at the person sitting on your right. None of you have my email address.” More on the Barack BlackBerry soon at 7comms
