| #9 Obama's too busy trying to hack the Tea Party to worry about Russians hacking him. I may have said it before, all Russian IP addresses should be fire walled. That is to say, all of the internet backbone nodes in this country should have firewall software that prevents access by people with computers that have Russian IP addresses. The same goes for China and Ukraine. I might add Malaysia, Pakistan, North Korea and some others. But the top three offenders in my experience are China, Russia and Ukraine. It wouldn't stop them altogether because they have most certainly compromised computers in other countries that they can use for their nefarious activities. But it would be a start and it might be incentive for them to clean up their act. And yes, it would be bad for business but that's just tough if they want to play that way. It'd be bad for their business too. I think if we looked long and hard enough at what we have in common with Russia instead of trying to pick a fight over piss ant countries like Ukraine and Syria we could work with them in a lot of productive endeavors. I think even Nixon and Brezhnev worked better together than Obama and Putin but then Nixon understood them a lot better than Obama does. Nixon knew that you cannot trust Russians without verification. He would have known they can't be trusted on the Internet either. Also, the White House should have its own firewall and those computers certainly have log files that should be carefully scrutinized every day for any hint of suspicious activity. That's why I think that whoever is in charge of IT at the White House should be fired for incompetence and negligence, even if that buck stops at Obama's desk. |

| #7 Press is covering this up by DELIBERATELY not reporting it, because it shows complete and utter incompetence in the White House. The damage to the Republic the press is doing by becoming a political activist instead of informative reporting is massive. They are becoming a Domestic Enemy. As in all enemies, foreign and domestic ... A day of reckoning is coming, reporters and editors. If it involves ropes and lamposts, or people up against the wall, you should be first and foremost at risk of being dragged from your homes and offices... |
