They let Barack have a Blackberry, but they can’t get their email working correctly?!

The White House email system crashed Monday, according to the Associated Press.

The email system broke down on Monday morning, right after the White House press office sent an email saying that Obama’s energy independence event would be open to all media, according to the Associated Press.

Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, apologized for the email malfunction, according to the Associated Press

“Our apologies if you’ve e-mailed any of us in the last two-and-a-half hours,” he said.

“Our e-mail system is not working so well. So our apologies on that, and we’ll endeavor to get you information from earlier in the day, hopefully in a little bit more of a timely manner, if we can get the e-mail to work.”
