crazy
It makes sense:
Anything that a President types into a computer is saved and enters the public record at the end of his (or her, someday) presidency. With that it's no wonder that neither Clinton nor Bush use e-mail very often. It kind of sucks though, if you ask me, that that's the case. It seems fundamentally unfair that the President of the United States can't use e-mail to just send a "hey, how's it going?" e-mail to people without having to worry that anyone or everyone will someday read it. I don't know, couldn't there be some sort of "hands off" list of addressees that are exempt? I don't know, I'm just rambling to not just post an article and run off. :)
Clinton's Gift to Internet Age - Only 2 E-Mails
The archives of the Bill Clinton presidential library will contain 39,999,998 e-mails by the former president's staff and two by the man himself.
"The only two he sent," Skip Rutherford, president of the Clinton Presidential Foundation, which is raising money for the library, said Monday.
One of them may not actually qualify for electronic communication because it was a test to see if the commander in chief knew how to push the button on an e-mail.
