Obama bans text messaging by gov't drivers

President Barack Obama signed an executive order barring the nation's 3 million federal workers from sending text messages while driving government vehicles, the White House said Thursday.

The directive, ordered Wednesday night, also applies to privately owned vehicles if the employee is on official business.
