Senator Obama never fails to amaze:
In the News Headline Article: “Passport Investigation Scrutinizes Employee of Firm With a Tie to Obama” right there in front of your eyes his camp states: “There are still many unanswered questions, including why these passport files were accessed and for what purpose,” Obama’s office said in a statement late Friday. “Sen. Obama believes a thorough investigation of these privacy breaches is necessary and expects one that is prompt and thorough.” Find the article, see for yourself.
Well, here is another unanswered question Senator Obama has been asked many times, over and over: Is the Kenyan Rebel Leader Odinga your Cousin [as he alleges he is] or is he Not.

I could answer such a question about any cousin of mine, or a brother, any other relative. It’s dead simple. Let’s have it, Senator: [no Speeches please] Just answer Yes or No. Dead Simple. NOW!!!!

[Lying Cheat. Hiding his real purpose behind all that garble he spits out at the Voters every time he lands in a fix]

Don’t know why my last comments were not posted. Anyway, this article is irrelevant. What does this petty passport issue have to do with improving our financial, industrial and military position in the world. The value of the US dollar is constantly eroding, people are loosing their homes, inflation is soaring and numerous jobs have been lost. Folks, the current administration has wrecked this great country’s economy. We need to focus on who has the best chance to live up to the promises to change course for our country, and ensure a bright future for ALL Americans. We need a President who will make significant changes, unite the country (not divide us), and lead the efforts to work with the Congress to set the best economic and military policies for our great nation … and our families. Let’s stay focused on that.

I hope this gets posted my last one was not. Obama set out to turn people against Hillary by making them think she looked into his files. Funny that he got caught insteadd isn’t it.
Fox is the only network reporting this. The other networks are to busy comforting Obama and changing his diaper ( so to speak ). That stupid comercial of the 17 year old girl is so corny. Hillary did not even know her personally that baby film was an example. I personally would not want to trust Obama to deal with a crisis. He would have to ask Cnn or NBC to help him and
they are not to smart because they can’t see anything negative with him even when he calls us “typical white people “, just like his grandmother whom he acused of making racial statements. As for Richardson he wants to be vice president and he thinks Obama is going to win the nomination. I hope Hillary shows them. If she doesn’t Mcain will. Obama can’t beat Mcain.

I think that Obama has more than a dream— I think his HOPE is in the “people” that surrounds him on a daily basis. I think that his “CHANGE” is only who is doing the dirty work.

Anybody can give a speech and use fancy words.

People who have access to confidential data, can abuse their privileges! Is it right? NO. But it happens. People are curious, and don’t think its an ethical violation.

First, there has to be a system in place to monitor unethical activity. Notice that the system is in place on politicians, but not you and I. How many times has someone pulled up information on you? You don’t know.

Second there has to be a real cost to violating privacy issues. Most of the time its just a slap on the wrist. The worst case is the person gets fired, but will probably never have anything negative said about them in references.

There is no real cost for violating ethics and our privacy. So it happens a lot more than you think. How many people do you know who work at the DMV or a utility that has pulled info on someone else that they had no reason to, or because they were dating them, or their kid was dating them? It happens much more frequently than anyone knows.

This is also how so much data gets stolen. No one to monitor and protect the data.

“The State Department’s investigation into how and why the passport files of three presidential candidates were breached is scrutinizing an employee at a Virginia-based company, which is headed by an adviser to Barack Obama’s campaign.”

What’s to investigate? Obama’s people did this and got caught. They probably accessed his passport file, just to make him look like he was unaware.

Here we go again spending big bucks for somthing that is as old as yesterdays newspaper. We ordinary citizens are invaded on a daily basis. What information
is on a passport worth looking at anyway? The Justice department is not filing charges against the DNC for destroying and not counting the Florida and Michigan votes. Then again we are simply ordinary citizens with out rights denied.

Always remember if a canidate is self nominated(and i dont know of 2 persons that nominated Obama or any of the other Pres. canidates for that matter) that that person has a political agenda(for the good or bad) and 9 times out of ten, its not for the betterment of the majority of the citizens of this nation,”USA”.
Good example of one of the greatest statesman(not politician) and had his birthday stripped off the calender and replaced with “Presidents Day” was George Washington??? George Washington didnt want to be president, he had just fought a horrible cold revolutionary war and wanted to go home to be with his family, George had no political ambitions whatsoever, no he was practically begged to be the first president of the USA…by all that knew him or new of him???
See this’s the problem with America today we have an overwhelming number of politicians in congress (not statesment) major difference in the two is, one a statesmen is nominated by petition of the people or more than just his close family and friends and has no special interest agendas or never had political ambitions at all, Second a politician is 9 times out of 10 self nominated or nominated by a mynute group of elite cronies with agendas so far out of touch with the welfare of the majority of America that its rifthmic or socially tramatizing???

My fellow Americans beware of political ambitous or self nominated its a greviously dangerous game, if they have a stanch desire to be a canidate then their an agendas politician and your ideas mean nothing to them. However if they have no desire to be a candidate having good morals, with good people skills, and a decent education, and are petitioned by the people then there’s your man. People can we wakeup fast enough to realize the political debacle America has gotten herself into before its to late, or is it already to late????

I find it funny that the CEO of the company of the person that breached his passport is an ADVISOR to him!!! The employee looked at the file THREE times…………. a matter of curiousity? I think not. WHAT did they go erase????????????????????

By: Tami

Tami — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 18:05:12 +0000

My question would be since the CEO of the company that accessed Obamas file and the “employee” acessed his THREE times……………………….what did they erase? Why did they have to access it three times if it was a matter of curousity?????? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm something fishy here!

All of you are making much to do about nothing. This is nothing more than contractor employees letting curiosity get the best of them. The government has many systems in place (i.e. the IRS) that have security checks covering the records for the rich and famous to stop curious employees from looking in such records. For example, how many IRS employees would peek in Bill Gate’s records if there were no policies or policing mechanisms in place to prevent them from doing so. The employees that were stupid enough to do this on the passport records deserve to be fired and one of the more serious things a person can do that has a security clearance as these employees probably dues is the misuse of a government computer.

my Friend Republican and me Democrat, We both agree, that there are great democrats, and republicans, who believe, that Mr.Obama should not won democratic nomination. The whole mass ,did not start Mrs Clinton,or Democratic Party, but Obama Himself.
Mrs. Hilary Clinton is a true fighter, and as Mr. McCain. Mr.Obama is not uniting US, but deviding, We knew this from begining, and We were right.
Blamig Mrs. Clinton and Republican Party, or Democratic Party, and acting like an IDOL< didnt work. The magic is gone!!!

when i woke up and turning on my tv, I saw Bill Richardson, New Mexico Governor endorsing Barrack Obama. THis did not occur as a surprise to me because before Super tuesday if I am not mistaken, Former Economic hero, Prisident Bill CLinton ask for endorsement from New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson to Hillary, he did not respond. fortunately the brave Clinton’s went to his State an won the election during Super Tuesday.
On an interview between Larry KIng and Bill Richardson, he was asked the same question if he will endorse Hillary since she won the New Mexico primary. When he made the comment that she only won by 1%. immediate I knew he wanted to endorse Obama instead of the Clinton’s whom he worked in their administration which probably help his political career that today he is a governor in New Mexico.
in addition, I personally think he want to be a potential runnermate. I hope Mr Richardson succeed to realise his dreams because if it dosen’t work out. I reserve my comments on this issue.
since there is a lot of betraying going on in the democratic party as a register democratic vote I am thinking voting for John Mccain in the general election

I do not care who appointed . Mr.Tennet. Mr.Tennet is resnsible for His action, not who appointed Him.
If was Mr.Bush, or Mr. Clinton, Tennet still is was responsible for His decisions.
But Mr.Obama knew about John O. Brennan very well, and He thought, that Mr.Brennan is a clearly cover, and seams, that spying onHis opponents trips, will be cover, but suprise, and how naive is Mr.Obama. Sure, I do not want Him to be my President!!!

What utter nonsense! A few government contractors got bored on the job and peeked into the passport files of the primary candidates. What did they find? Name & address, phone numbers, emergency contacts and, unfortunately social security numbers. It’s bad enough that we have a state department investigation to determine the obvious, but Barack Obama demands that Congress spend hundreds of thousands of our dollars for a duplicate investigation to determine the obvious again. I haven’t heard a peep from Clinton or McCain.
