As with all new presidencies, there is a time of transition as one administration takes over the work of another.   Apparently President Obama is having some tech issues.

 
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…

“It is kind of like going from an Xbox to an Atari,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said of his new digs.

He really shouldn’t be complaining.  I mean he did only help Obama win the presidency of the United States of a America…

Wait, I guess that means he can complain.  Someone get this man an Xbox!
