Wow...the Obama supporters are HAPPY his passport was accessed

[journalist3072]

Reading the threads here on DU, the Obama supporters are positively salivating and orgasmic that his passport was accessed.

Just read one thread where the OP said "Dare we say President Obama."

So it's ok that his passport was accessed, as long as it means your wettest dream comes true---him being President.

1. Yer a sick pup.

[niceypoo]

48. Zealotry makes people do bizarre things and makes them shrill...

Hense all of the conspiracy theory glee with the Obama Zealots

[FrenchieCat]

2. I'm happy that we, at least, we are going to find out about it....

just think if the passport would have been breached 3 times by "contractors" and no one would have ever found out?

[Kittycat]

3. The president stuff aside. Aren't you concerned about this breech of security?

By a "contractor" no less?

[MadMaddie]

13. Not only that but if this happend to a high profile person

because his file is flagged....

what happens to liberals files or others this Administration dislike...if they are opened with no flags...SS# and other personal information are in those files.

This is bigger then Obama.....no one is glad this happened but it shows how broken the government really is when it comes to our privacy...

[roguevalley]

33. people better be concerned. imagine hacking your medical records.

[Coexist]

4. of course I am not happy - I am pissed

and I want answers.

[GOPNotForMe]

5. Your post is so silly.

[Window]

She's a real hater.

[The Ghost]

6. Some people

like to see Bush fail over and over again so then the Dems will win in 2008.

Pick your enemy

[FARAFIELD]

7. Im orgasmic because you are not

Ill admit it, just shows how much they fear him, I see passports all the time, not much there unless you want to make it so. But I do think that if it knocks that assinine Wright story off the air then thats good for him. And by the way Im orgasmic because Im tired of reading links from hannity and newsmax, posted here by HillBOTS.

[la la]

31. just a question, farafield---------

you are orgasmic reading about hillary---or not? your post doesn't make sense--you like posts by clinton peeps---or you don't? They turn you on---or they don't?

nevermind--no need to explain--I get it--you're just confused!

[DemGa]

8. Anything to stop the pastor Wright bombardment

Wright's not going anywhere; but I can't say I blame them.

[marmar]

9. This post is truly pathetic....Does the spin cycle ever stop?

"Journalist" :spray:

[AX10]

10. The breach was wrong and should be investigated.

However, we should fully expect Obama and company to take advantage of this for political gain too.

[gabeana]

19. Just like the hillary gang to take advantage of wright gate

thats politics

[graywarrior]

11. I'm pissed and very concerned.

If they did it to him, whom else did they decided to check into just for the fuck of it?

[TheDebbieDee]

12. The passport business makes "Pastorgate"

a page 2 news item, I think.

[Berry Cool]

14. Don't speak for all of them.

Some just might be feeling OUTRAGE.

[walldude]

28. Na.. haven't you heard? We're not human...

Just Obamatons

[Blue_Roses]

15. you are one bitter

*cough* journalist...:eyes:

[Divine Discontent]

16. another added to the long list of Ignorefest 2008 eom

[Barack_America]

17. Not at all. I am outraged.

If the passport file of a Presidential candidate can be breached THREE times before higher-ups are notified, then what the hell does that mean for the rest of us?

It sounds like these "contract workers" have the ability to pour through our personal information for shits and giggles, without the slightest concern of being reprimanded.

Is that something you find acceptable from your government?

[cali]

18. way to twist and flat out

lie. There's been outrage, and yes, some relief that this story may eclipse the wright bullshit. And there are lots of unhappy little hillbots who are afraid that it'll do just that. You are so pathetically onesided. Now go wank off about wright some more. We KNOW that's your wet dream, dearie.

[joshcryer]

53. "Some" relief? *SOME* relief? Are you really that blinded?

C'mon now, I used to respect you.

[americanstranger]

20. Happy? No. Incensed? You betcha.

You should be, too. If it can happen to Obama, it can happen to anyone. Even you.

- as

[madmom]

21. This one is just as bad as the one blaming Clinton for it! Get a grip people!

[Zhade]

22. Your desperation not to accept clinton's loss is coloring your judgement.

Well, that, or your "everyone NEEDS Jesus" glasses.

[Window]

23. Well, this Senator Obama supporter is mad as hell, and I want answers.

Dirty bastards. Whoever the hell they are.

[apocalypsehow]

24. When they hand out Hillary bumper stickers at campaign HQ, do they offer free lobotomies on site?

n/t.

[JTG of the PRB]

25. Thanks!

Thanks for classifying all Obama supporters as one single group with the exact same thoughts and ideas! That was super useful of you!

I'm angry about this. I'm angry that this man's privacy was violated, that his civil liberties were violated. I would be just as angry if it had happened to Hillary Clinton or you myself or to you. To imply that all Obama supporters are happy about this because they supposedly think it will all but assure the Presidency for him is, in no other words, complete bullshit. If this was a case of three curious people simply looking up information about Barack Obama, that's one thing. If this is something more sinister involving the stealing of private, confidential information of a front-running Presidential candidate, that's another thing entirely.

Don't lump us all into one group. I'm sure you don't like it when you get lumped into groups with people who misrepresent your views. Don't do it.

[Penndems]

26. I need to give a personal perspective regarding passport files being accessed

Almost thirty-one years ago, I started in the USG as a GS-3 File Clerk - at the State Department, in the Washington, DC Passport Office. At that time, passport applications were filed by hand in five-drawer file cabinets. All of the clerks had a quota we had to meet daily in order to get promoted to the next GS level: File a ten-pound box of passport applications (not as easy as it sounds).

Every passport form completed from around the country - and around the world - comes to the D.C. office, and quite a few of them are from celebrities who either request that theirs be mailed to their business managers or their personal assistants. I can't begin to tell you how many celebrities' applications I filed during my two-and-a-half year stint in the Passport Office (Cher's comes to mind -she was married to Greg Allman at the time - they were traveling to Japan, if memory serves). In mid-1978, the files went from being filed to microfiched, and the information was typed into a central computer. I went from being a file clerk to a data entry operator (now one of the aforementioned jobs converted to contractor positions).

As an aside: The Federal Government doesn't use Halliburton to fill administrative/clerical jobs in non-DoD positions. The clerks are most likely from a local temp agency that probably won't get another contract from State!

There was a special section of file cabinets set aside for passport requests for public officials, everyone from Members of Congress to mayors. Except for a select group of people who received special clearances to access those files, they were strictly off-limits to everyone else.

I might be wrong here, but I have a hunch that the three people who pulled Senator Obama's files were overzealous admirers who thought they wouldn't get caught. Unfortunately for them they did, and now it's Page One news.

Of course, it could be completely nefarious and politically-motivated, but I doubt it in this case.

[neverforget]

27. Yeah! His privacy was violated! I am so happy!

:eyes: :sarcasm:

[slinkerwink]

29. no, we're not happy his personal safety was put at risk

[EFerrari]

35. "Oh, goody, my candidate is being stalked!"

Who in their right mind could think such a thing.

[JoFerret]

30. Obama campaign muct have done it then

quite a logical distraction and victimism.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

32. .

[tabasco]

34. Obama has nothing to hide

and if some corrupt fucker exposed themselves to get his info, I'm kind of happy about that.

I'm happy they got caught.

[Berry Cool]

38. Sure, he has nothing to hide

and your house should have glass walls, too. What?? You got something to hide????

But aside from that, you ever thought that if someone can hack into his passport files, someone can put faked documents in them to make it look like he went places he never went, etc.? And that's just the beginning of the mischief.

36. "I'll vote for McCain just to do anything I can to try to keep Obama out of the WH"

39. No kidding. Transparently trollish.(nt)

[Justitia]

41. OMG - I thought supporting Republicans over Democrats got you banned from here?! -eom

[Forkboy]

52. Used to, but I think they're being generous during the primary.

I suspect if Obama gets the nod this poster wont last long.

[Swamp Rat]

54. If I don't see it "going down," please send me a PM when it's granite cookie time.

:D

"COOOOOKIES!"

[Forkboy]

55. Heh...will do.

:evilgrin:

[Frank Booth]

37. Damn right I'm happy.

If there's any truth to this, all of a sudden Hillary Clinton's campaign to destroy the party is over.


:party: :party: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :smoke:

[salbi]

40. I'm an Obama supporter and am honest enough to admit I'm happy

that the news has quit replaying the Rev. Wright clips and have finally moved on to something else.

[JBoy]

42. Why do you prefer McCain over Obama?

Did Hillary tell you to think that?

[Tatiana]

43. Are you that ignorant of what has happened?

Do you not realize that they have probably breached HILLARY'S PERSONAL FILE AS WELL?

There needs to be an investigation.

Someone blew this whistle for a reason. I think there is more to uncover, and while the breach in Obama's file is what leaked to reporters, I don't believe for a second that he's the only one that they've been spying on NOR that they've only recently been doing this sort of snooping.

This goes back to Kerry's candidacy and maybe even earlier. This is a serious situation which merits an investigation.

[zulchzulu]

44. What do you think about Obama's passport information being breached?

Is it an issue to you? Should it be an issue?

Are you sad that the Swift Horton antics are fading in the news cycle?

[myrna minx]

45. This is one of the more bizarre posts I've read here.

"Passport was accessed" is the strangest euphemism for sex I've ever heard of. :sarcasm: I prefer "polling the electorate" myself.

I read several posts, proclaiming that this wasn't a big deal, by *some* Hillary supporters. As an Obama supporter, I guess I missed out on the big orgasm, because, I, as should all Americans, see this breech is a testament to how our Government has run amok, with secrets, spying and contracting out our most personal information to who knows. How do know that this breech hasn't happened to Senator Clinton as well? I can guarantee if that's the case, I'd be just as outraged.

journalist?

[jgraz]

46. *plonk*

Buh bye.

[totodeinhere]

47. I'm not happy that it happened in the first place, but...

I am happy that since it did happen we have found out about it and hopefully we can find out who is behind it.

49. Did you know that yesterday was the anniversary of the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin?
