Obama's Twitter Account "Hacked"
Oxford_Comma_Lover writes "A 24-year-old living with his mother in France was arrested for 'hacking' into Obama's twitter accounts. (Warning: WSJ does obnoxious paywall things. Your miles may vary.) Apparently he guesses the answer to a question related to password recovery in order to break into the accounts of famous people; he has no computer science training or financial motive. He posted screenshots to a few boards and twitter found out within a few hours, either from a tip or from noticing when someone from France logs onto twitter as the President of the United States. (He did not actually tweet as POTUS, but just wanted to show he could break into the account.)"
Given that Barack Obama is a spammer (see below), I don't object to his on-line presence being hacked. Maybe, it is illegal, but I wish the prosecution to be as lenient, as that of the certain Black Panthers was...
Yes, he is a spammer, because I am receiving e-mails from him — without ever asking to be subscribed, much less having gone through the double opt-in, the only responsible method of adding subscribers to a mailing list:

I'm not going to paw through anything. If you've ever read anything on Fox News, you know that the troglodytes over there are yucking it up over Obama right now. Almost everyone is completely intellectually dishonest and will go way out of their way to justify anything that bolsters their world view. Certainty is a feeling that drives logic to come up with rationalizations, it is not an end result of logical processes. For most people. And politics is dick waving, nothing more. Republicans just had their dicks cut off, metaphorically, because they lost so fucking badly on the health care reform issue. And they are mad, mad, mad at being emasculated, so they have to puff up their chests right now and pretend to be tough.
Meanwhile, we Democrats are big dick PLAYERS right now. Big dicks, swinging low, the chicks are all over us because we're so powerful and masculine.
We're not that far from chimps, none of us. *Sigh*
