Obama Staffers Followed Palin's Email Lead On Inauguration Day
theodp writes "Using Yahoo's free e-mail service to conduct government business was good enough for Sarah Palin. And now the Washington Times reports that Obama staffers turned to Gmail on Inauguration Day to conduct their business. Those wishing to contact members of the incoming Obama administration were instructed to contact staffers at wh.LASTNAME@gmail.com until official White House e-mail addresses became available."
Is it me or does it bother anyone else that an institution like the White House doesn't have a dedicated IT staff?
How can you trust an IT staff that have lost emails during Bush's presidency ?
Palin staff: already had government e-mail accounts, but used Yahoo accounts to conduct business that they did not want to reveal to the public.
This really is becoming "SlashKos". Anyone who could be bothered to actually READ the screenshots at Gawker of Palin's Yahoo! account could have seen that it WAS NOT GOVERNMENT BUSINESS.
Sheesh. Come on. You may hate Palin, but this is a technology website. Let's deal in the truth.

No. 125: Direct military leaders to end war in Iraq
From politifact.com, who is obviously non-partisan. Of course, the withdrawal deal was in the works for over a year and signed months before Obama took office...but by all means, collectively remember that Obama ended this war that affected almost none of you.

Closing the camp was a PR move and a waste of taxpayer money.
And sending those detainees there was a infinite lack of basic morality.
Hey look a front page story by Timothy that links to the Washington Times. With their powers combined they form Captain Troll Slashdot Post! I'm honestly surprised there was no mention of Natalie Portman or hot grits.
