The Conspiracy: Obama Accessed Passport Files?
Mar 21, 2008 Political
There was a bit of initial uproar when it was learned that Barack Obama’s passport data had been accessed with his campaign accusing the Bush administration of invading the privacy of Mr. Obama. It was typical Democratic bluster with the typical response of blaming Bush first and the reaction allowed the campaign to focus on something other than Obama’s racist pastor and Obama’s racist remarks. It was looking like Obama could make some hay with this one until it was announced that the passport files of John McCain and Hillary Clinton had been accessed as well. A little passage in a Washington Times story has led me to believe that Mr. Obama is responsible for the breaches.
The State Department last night said one of the persons responsible for the inappropriate behavior was employed by an information technology firm headed by one of Mr. Obama’s foreign intelligence advisors. [emphasis mine]
Here is how I see it happened; Senator Obama had the employee of one of his advisers, who just happens to work at the State Department, look at Hillary Clinton’s and John McCain’s passport information in an effort to get political ammunition on both of them. The peek would also allow access to their Social Security numbers which can be used to find a great deal of information. The credit reports of these two would provide a wealth (no pun intended) of information (ask Chuck Schumer about credit reports). Sometime after the illegal access someone in the campaign becomes worried that if the breaches are discovered and Obama is the only one that has not been accessed, suspicion will be cast upon him especially since the employee of an adviser works there. It is decided that his record will be accessed so if any of the records being illegally accessed, Obama will be in the clear.
Now that we know Obama had an inside person this makes perfect sense. If he beats Hillary (looking more likely every day) he will face McCain. He needed to dig up information on both of them and his team would have been working on that for some time now. It is even likely that he allowed the worker’s access of the records to be discovered so as to draw attention away from the racist remarks being thrown all over this past week. Allowing the discovery was a safe move because all of their records were accessed. The only problem is that the campaign’s attack on the Bush administration fizzled out quickly when it was shown that all of the candidate’s records had been accessed. Obama took that as acceptable because he is not running against Bush and he needs things to change direction.
This is the only thing that makes sense. Why would all of their records be accessed? Who would stand to benefit from this given that all three had their information looked at? While any one of them would benefit, Obama was the only one with an inside connection to the records.
I believe Barack Obama must have been involved in the illegal access of passport information. Certainly this idea makes more sense than the Bush administration being the culprits, now that we know John McCain had his records looked at. Since the Obama campaign was so quick to make the Bush connection I will be quick to make the Obama connection, especially since he had a mole on the inside, his was the first “discovered” and disclosed and the disclosure came after a reporter inquiry.
Wouldn’t it be something if this turned out to be the case?
However, it is more likely that some curious employees looked up information on the people running for president and that they did it of their own accord. But since Obama’s people fired the first salvo and blamed the administration, I will shoot back with my take that Obama is involved.

Obama’s Passport Breach, No Big Deal
Mar 20, 2008 Political
Two contract employees at the State Department used their network privileges to look at Barack Obama’s passport application and possibly other items that are personal in nature. The two employees were fired and there is an investigation into the motive and what was compromised. The Obama campaign, as any good group of Democrats will do, blamed George Bush for this breach:
Obama spokesman Bill Burton issued a stern statement Thursday night, saying: “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. Our government’s duty is to protect the private information of the American people, not use it for political purposes. Fox News
I say this is no big deal and I say that because the Democrats have already set the precedent for this not being a big deal. Privacy is not an issue with them and they showed that when Michael Steele, a Republican from Maryland, ran for the US Senate. Two employees of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee illegally obtained Steele’s credit report solely for opposition research. The two employees worked for Senator Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York. The FBI investigated the incident and the DSCC denied any involvement but no one has gone to jail. Was there even a report on this that brought it to closure? I believe Schumer’s fingerprints were all over this and that is why those two employees are not breaking rocks in prison. They can implicate people.
As far as Obama’s passport goes, it is a pretty big stretch to say that this was done for political purposes especially since it has yet to be fully investigated. In addition, it is pretty hypocritical for the Obama camp to act as if Democrats would not do such a thing. The assertion that the administration had little regard for privacy holds little water when one considers what the Democrats did to Micheal Steele. That incident was definitely politically motivated. This incident might have been Obama supporters trying to find out his home phone number. We won’t know until it is completely investigated, an investigation that will be more thorough than the one the Democrats conducted.
I believe that this claim by the Obama campaign is a diversionary tactic drummed up (the incident is not drummed up, the response is) to try and divert attention away from Obama’s racist remarks and the racist remarks of his Pastor. This issue has been beating Obama up and he has been losing support because of it. His campaign used the incident to paint the typical Democratic picture of George Bush as someone listening in to Aunt Mildred and her cookie recipes with no regard for privacy. They want us to know it can happen to Obama too and he will fight for the little guy against evil people like George Bush. Where was Obama when Steele’s credit report was illegally used for political purposes?
Obama is an empty suit. He harbors anti white feelings and he is a closet racist who follows the teachings of an overt racist. Obama’s dirty little secret got out too soon and it is hurting him. Nothing like creating a Bush scandal to divert the focus.
I say, no big deal. There is not a lot of information on a passport application. This is not a security clearance paperwork, it is for a passport. If those workers looked at it and had no legitimate reason then they were wrong. They have been fired so now let us move on and talk about important stuff like how many racists support Obama.
As an aside, maybe they looked at the places he has visited. I wonder if he went somewhere he does not want disclosed…
