In a recent Barbara Walters interview, President Elect Barack Obama hinted that he may get to keep his BlackBerry after all.

WALTERS: How are you going to get along without your Blackberry?

OBAMA: (Laughs). This is a problem. I, you know, one of the things that I’m going to have to work through is how to break through the isolation … the bubble that exists around the president. And I’m in the process of negotiating with the Secret Service, with lawyers, with White House staff …

WALTERS: You might have a Blackberry?

OBAMA: Well, I’m, I’m negotiating to figure out how can I get information from outside of the 10 or 12 people who surround my office in the White House. Because, one of the worst things I think that could happen to a president is losing touch with what people are going through day to day.

It doesn’t sound like President Obama will sign any legislation that states the President must carry a BlackBerry on his person at all times into law, however, I am guessing that they are going to work something out…
