Obama's Mobile Phone Records Compromised, Shared
Tiger4 writes "Verizon has confirmed that some of its employees have accessed and perhaps shared calling records of President Elect Barack Obama (coverage at CNN, Reuters, AP). Verizon says the people involved have all been put on leave with pay as the investigation proceeds. Some of the employees may have accessed the information for legitimate purposes, but others may have been curiosity seekers and may have even shared the information around. The account was 'only' a phone, not a BlackBerry or similar device, and Verizon believes it was just calling records, not voicemail or email that was compromised. The articles do not mention the similarity to the warrantless wiretapping or hospital records compromises of recent months. But that immediately sprang to mind for me."
After 4 years he'll be as out of touch as W was, but I bet the media won't make fun of it unless we are in a depression.
Are they cherry-picking frontpage stories simply to encourage this drivel? Bah. I say good day!

This is something new, the citizens wiretapping and spying on the president. I guess we truly will see change with Obama.
lol yep this whole administration is already flipping around. Hopefully this is a sign for things to come. Let the citizens do the wiretapping and let the government do their government stuff.
*CHEERS*
PS:
But seriously I'm a big obama fan, he really did make some fantastic nominations so far. Definitely a departure from the cronyism of recent years. Heck Hillary was his enemy and never really endorsed him. I love Hillary but I'm not sure if shes really the best for president but she definitely is a brilliant women who should have a high position in our government and have some power to dictate foreign policy.
Under Soviet Obama, the Citizen Spies on State!
What radio host called for ol' Joe-the-P's murder?
Besides, he's not the only one singled out for death by radio hosts. I've had people call for my death. Who am I? I bike-commuter.
Maby? Are you kidding me? Maby? That's hilarious.
It's maybe. It's short for "It may be that..." it means the same thing as "perhaps" - the word you probably know as "praps".
Looks like Cheney has mod points today.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
