"This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even from an administration that has shown little regard for either over the last eight years," said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton in a statement.
"Our government's duty is to protect the private information of the American people, not use it for political purposes."
Excuse me? How the FUCK is this the Bush administrations fault? It wasn't used for "political purposes", and even if the intentions were, how the hell do you expect to gain political power or advantage with Obama's personal information like Social Security number or where he's traveled to?
Doug Hattaway, a spokesman for Sen. Hillary Clinton, Obama's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, said, "If it's true, it's reprehensible, and the Bush administration has a responsibility to get to the bottom of it."
You see what I mean when I talk about "Democratic Tendencies"? This has NOTHING to do with the Bush
administration, yet, Obama and Hillary's campaigns are blaming him for something that he had absolutely no control over.
That would be like me blaming the Clinton administration when I got a wrongful speeding ticket back in the 90's.
On three occasions since January, Sen. Barack Obama's passport file was looked at by three different contract workers, said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.
The contractors accessed information in the file in an unauthorized way, he said.
Two contractors were fired and one was disciplined by the contractor's company, McCormack said.
He said the contractors are not linked.
The State Department hires contractors to design, build and maintain their systems and help employees with searches. McCormack said two of the contractors in the Obama case were "low-level" personnel and the other was in a mid-level position with no management role.
The breach seems like "imprudent curiosity" among the contract workers, said McCormack, adding that senior management at the State Department was not aware of the incidents until Thursday afternoon. Breaches occurred January 9, February 21 and March 14.
Three low level guys with a bit of curiosity got into Obama's records. Big deal, they were disciplined or fired. That's the story? It isn't a story at all.
Now, does Barack have the right to be pissed? You bet, but he and Hillary don't have the right to blame someone else for something that clearly wasn't their fault.
This is the general plague that's going through the Democratic party right now and for the past several years: Blame Bush for absolutely anything that you can think of.
It's bullshit and they are old enough to know better.
