The imagined e-mails and text messages in “Obama’s BlackBerry”, by the comedy group Kasper Hauser, can be quite funny, but even funnier was the official Iranian reaction to the book’s release: reportedly, the English-language Press TV network called Kasper Hauser a “virtual reality ‘terrorist’ group” of “cyber hackers” who were circulating the private messages of Barack Obama.
Why did Kaspar Hauser bother with a book? Better satire of Obama’s online life can be found over on Slate, where Christopher Beam and Chris Wilson have re-created “Barack Obama’s Facebook Feed.”
