President Barack Obama left the White House on Friday morning, bound for Las Vegas, and nearly left behind the thing he cares about most — Kevin!
No, the president nearly forgot his BlackBerry.
The president boarded Marine One on the South Lawn around 10:30 a.m. when he suddenly realized he'd forgotten his super-secure, NSA-developed smartphone.
"I forgot something," Obama told White House reporters who had gathered to see him off. He bounded back inside the White House as a handful of Secret Service agents scrambled behind him. Moments later, the president reappeared carrying his one true link to the outside world.
"Didn't you guys ever forget something?" he asked the group. "I forgot my BlackBerry," he said, smiling and holding his phone.
He then boarded the chopper and took off for Joint Base Andrews, where he eventually caught Air Force One for his trip to Sin City.
Obama will speak on Friday at Del Sol High School in Las Vegas to outline the series of executive actions he announced Thursday night to overhaul the country's immigration system.
As for the president's beloved BlackBerry, the White House is reportedly testing a replacement, including Android-powered handsets from LG and Samsung, according to a report in The Wall Street
