Obama Gets Geeky

Yes, every single blog posting and every single Web comment you've ever made. Think you could catalog all that info? And would there be anything -- say, an off-the-cuff comment you left on an ex's profile, or an angry remark you made on a blog -- that might make you look less than honorable? We won't even get into why you used to post under the handle "BigPoppa68."

"Electronic communications: If you have ever sent an electronic communication, including but not limited to an email, text message or instant message, that could suggest a conflict of interest or be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the President-Elect if it were made public, please describe."

This could get messy. In our modern society, is there anyone left who hasn't sent some sort of e-mail, text, or IM that could be a "possible source of embarrassment"? The ex factor could prove fatal here once again -- just think how many not-so-PG texts could still be sitting on your former flame's phone. Or how about that nice note you sent you to your old boss after your last day on the job?

"Please provide the URL address of any websites that feature you in either a personal or professional capacity (e.g. Facebook, MySpace, etc)."

Wait a minute -- so, are drunken party pics considered a problem, or are those okay? This one could get dicey.
