True, there is no such thing as 100% security. However, there’s no good reason that Barack Obama should stop using email if he uses effective information security practices, and has proper understanding of the associated risks.

Barack Obama just needs to know and understand the associated risks, and then make wise choices with what he puts within the email messages, and know what to NOT include.
