Obama Wants to Be Able to Text You Anytime He Wants

Of course, it will be under the guise of "national security":

A new national alert system is set to begin in New York City that will alert the public to emergencies via cell phones.

Presidential and local emergency messages as well as Amber Alerts would appear on cell phones equipped with special chips and software.

The Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Emergency Management Agency said the system would also warn about terrorist attacks and natural disasters.

Verizon and AT&T, the nation’s largest cell phone carriers, are already on board. Consumers would be able to opt out of all but those presidential messages.

Why must we allow presidential messages? What is the president going to tell us that we can't learn from multiple other sources?

This is all getting a little too Big Brother for me.
