Kind of a passive statement, isn't it? It makes him sound like he's not in charge of anything, let alone sitting in the most powerful office in the United States.
A far stronger, leaderlike statement would have been, "for security reasons, I have chosen not to have an iPhone."

- bradleyland 13y agoMaybe he didn't choose. He's the President, not the Dear Leader.
- mike-cardwell 13y agoYeah. People seem to forget that the Presidents job isn't to, rule over them.
- PhasmaFelis 13y agoWell, the actual meaning is "I could have an iPhone but I'm not stupid enough to blow off the advice of a bunch of guys whose entire full-time job is keeping me safe and secure." Which seems both clear and wise to me, but we have this weird thing about expecting our leaders to be Lone Cowboy types who don't take no guff from nobody.
- MrZongle2 13y agoI just wish for some leaders to act like leaders.
