President Obama: Game Addict?
American tabloid Star Magazine reveals via a "confidante" of President Obama that one reason he was so adamant about hanging onto his Blackberry was a love of Brick Breaker, the smartphone's Breakout clone and possibly the game most played on toilets worldwide. The source claims that he uses it to unwind before bed every night, and has a high score in the 15,000 range. Not quite a kill screen but apparently respectable. Of course, now that this is public knowledge we run the risk of the terrorists using this against us somehow. Thanks a lot, Star Magazine.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this is true: my dad, who'd be hard pressed to identify a videogame beyond Pac Man or Pong, had an obsessive compulsion with his computer solitaire score to the point where no one else in the house could play it lest we ruin his streak.
Personally, I can't help thinking it's too bad that Obama doesn't have an iPhone, because I'd really like to know how my Kitten Jump score would stack up to his.

Am I the only one to notice that the phone he's holding in this picture is NOT a blackberry phone. I believe it is a Palm OS phone though I'm not sure of it's model..... I think it is one of the older Treo models.
Barack Obama is, indeed, only human. I thought he was better than me at EVERYTHING; turns out he has yet to beat my precisely 28000 high score on Brickbreaker. He does, however, have the mans to beat that, as when the trackball on his breaks from too much brickbreaker, he can afford to replace it.
