Obama statement on Passport issue
I found a link to the statement from the Obama campaign on the passport issue. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/claims-of-dirty-tricks-after-security-breach-on-obama-passport-details-799035.html There were three separate breaches of security detected; the most recent last Friday. "This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy," Mr Obama's spokesman Bill Burton said last night, warning the Bush administration that it had a responsibility and duty to protect private information and not use it for political purposes.

"We demand to know who opened Senator Obama's file," he said, asking why it took so long to reveal the breach. There were calls last night for an FBI investigation and the possible appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the case.

3. What's he trying to hide now? Did he travel to Cuba without a Visa or something?
I really don't see what would be in a Passport file or application that I would consider "sensitive" unless he's hiding something "big," like a change of religion?

Or does he not want people to know his actual height? :wtf:

All these Obama people want Hillary's Current Tax forms, which probably aren't even done yet, but he's going to sue over someone in the government looking at his Passport file?:shrug:

5. He could be just using it as a political issue
to point out how the Bush administration has failed

9. "political issue" is probably right, so that they can "change the subject" away from him...
...and back to this non-issue of someone looking at his Passport applications and travel history.

6. Sounds like someone missed the POINT
Look -- I have been all over the globe and in enough Middle East countries in the last 10 years to ensure that I will have more physical contact with every airline flight than my last relationship offered -- and for the next decade.

All leisure travel so I have nothing to worry about -- but that doesn't mean that I want the Cabal whiffing my panties on the return trip...

4. The Cabal will get right on that investigation. Just as soon
as they sneak in an immunity clause on those involved.

Can't be too careful when you have closet muslims, er, I mean radical blaaaaaack Christians running for president and all.

Stay tuned boyz and girlz -- next week begins War on Buddhism season. :woohoo:
