care to explain about ameritech? I’m clueless.
I thought fer shure he’d have a yahoo email address.

These e-mails are so careless I’m beginning to think some little kid hacked into the Clinton e-mails.

Who is Bob Ama?

[McGruff]

Looks like we are going to be invading some third world country soon. Wag The Dog!

[Paleo Pete]

I backed out and did a new search, these are the only 7 that show up.

Did notice a couple of things, I see a @barackobama.com email address, so Obama had his own server too? Or just a registered domain name?

And the last email contains a couple of phone numbers. Probably no longer good, from years ago...

Maybe we should start greeting Obama with “Hail, skroob!”

From what I can see, all the emails are from before he was President.

And, ameritech.com was his internet service provider.

There may be something there, but I seriously doubt it.

[MikefromOhio]

Depending on the content, wouldn’t the emails while he was ‘officially’ a Senator be the subject of a FOIA?

If these were in the course of conducting Senate business, absolutely. But this appears to be entirely Presidential campaign stuff and stuff related to the transition. I'm a little surprised the email address wasn't something more "campaign-like" but these are innocuous.

Like others have said, I want to see emails from 2009-2016 for it to mean anything. This is kind of a big nothing.

[McGruff]

False Alarm. From 2008.

[Dacula]

You give leadership and politicians too much credit.

I worked for a CEO of a Fortune 50 company as an IT guy and their passwords were lame.

I want to see emails from 2009-2016 for it to mean anything. This is kind of a big nothing.

[MeganC]

Has anyone sent a test message to bobama@ameritech.net to see if it’s still working?

[Col Frank Slade]

Obama was using the Ameritech Phone Company(Chicago) email domain while President ?

Hello ????

[Redcloak]

It looks like a few too many people have asked that question...

Yeah, seriously! Bobama, who’da figured THAT one out? I’m surprised it wasn’t preezy@aol.com.

That’s the kind of password an idiot would use on his luggage! :)

The_Donald subreddit comes through again:

‘I believe “ameritech” == SBC in a [former] life (pre merger)’

So I looked up SBC, and got this for related searches:

SBC and AT&T

SBC Global Email Account

SBC Mail

SBC Yahoo Mail

My sbcglobal Email

So Rosemary Woods deleted 18 minuets of Nixon talking in the oval office and the dems go nuts and pass laws to require archiving of all government business communications and Obama gets away with a secret e-mail system?

[dp0622]

You first :)
