Governor, but we didnt have it then. But i think if you look at the way you also used digital media, the white house photographer was still taking still photos in 20012003 and we didnt change that until 2004. And i still dont understand facebook. Ronald christie on twitter. And how could we utilize this technology with the staff. And you notice president obama caries a blackberry and president bush did not. President obama uses email, president bush did not. So i think by the time you get into 2006, 2007, the white house staff was a lot more sophisticated in dealing with the emerging technology but for our cousins now in the Obama Administration, it is night and day, the Technology Capabilities that they have and the tools they have at their disposal to get their message out versus what we had.

The ability for fraud to creep into Government Programs financed by taxes is much tighter than private enterprises because shareholders have their own money that they invest.
