McCain and the Blackberry - Treason?

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

By now of course you’ve already heard that a McCain staffer claimed John McCain invented the Blackberry. Asked why he thought, McCain was qualified to lead America out of this economic crisis, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a senior McCain policy advisor, held up his Blackberry and said:

“He did this. The premier innovation in the past 15 years comes right from the commerce committee. So, you’re looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create.” - Holtz-Eakin (Source)

Blackberry, a Canadian company, had no comment on this revelation. However every American needs to ask themself, “If John McCain is a true American, why did he invent the Blackberry in Canada?” I’m not going to suggest, as some might, that such a thing borders on treason, just let every American make up his or her own mind on the subject.

Just consider this, in 2007 Blackberry generated $1.37 Billion in revenue for parent company RIM, a Canadian company! (Source) That’s enough money to pay for almost 2 days of the Iraq war! (Source)
