Why Hasn't Obama Responded To The Palin Email Hacking? (Vanity)

Posted on 09/18/2008 11:29:28 AM PDT by KJC1

I'm calling this a vanity because it's not from any source, but I do not consider the topic a true "vanity."

WHY HASN'T OBAMA RESPONDED TO THE PALIN EMAIL HACKING?

Possibilities (one/more/all):

1. He condones it.

2. He's waiting to see if this turns into a negative for Palin, and if he can ride the lie that she used her personal email for official business while ignoring the fact that a serious crime has occurred.

3. He's behind it or the trail will lead too close to home.

Any other thoughts?

The silence from the Obama camp is positively deafening. If the situation was reversed and someone had hacked Biden's personal email, does anyone believe John McCain would still have not uttered a peep condemning whoever did it? I don't.

My husband’s one word response to this story yesterday was “Watergate”. I wonder how many other people thought the same thing?

All three. But especially #3. Wasn’t it posted earlier that the hacker was traced to Chicago?

No kidding now.

He’s not saying anything because such mundane things are below him.

Really.

There’s an old political axiom that goes something like “If your opponent is in trouble, stand back and let him burn himself out.”

Maybe his 300 advisors are still trying to figure-out what he should say.

I’ve said this before on other threads, he is a passive/aggressive sociopaths. Sociopaths have no empathy. They can walk by a gang beating in an alley way and if reporters are there, they will be heroic because it’s in their self interest. But with no one else around, and if they particularly don’t like the individual getting victimized, they will quietly relish the brutal savagery and quite probably look quickly both ways before adding a sucker punch or two of their own.

That is Obama’s MO...that is what he is doing now. He’ll step up only if and when it starts to hurt him, personally. He is a sick, opportunistic, gang mentality, passive/aggressive bully.

Was the web site that posted the email, one of the 159 sites that were vetted by the Obama campaign to cover the Obama nomination?

It fits into the dirty tricks mode. This was a fishing expedition designed to find dirt. If they had, the libs would concentrate on the dirt, say the end justifies the means, and put it at the top of every newscast and webpage with their usual hysterics.

There was nothing there. When the last minute Bush DUI hit in 2000, it was a low level Democrat who released it. Anything is allowed by Democrats. They are correct and doing the public service in the sinister eyes of the media. But they aren't going to point it out and he isn't going to talk about it.

It’s too late now. He can put an ad on TV within 30 minutes of a McCain flub, but cannot come out with a statement against this heinous email hacking in almost 24 hours????

It would take a willing suspension of disbelief to believe that.

How about because it was illegal? Do you think Obama thinks it was legal?

Releasing illegally obtained damaging info on his opponents is BO’s MO.

For the same reason he hasn't apologized for the "McCain Can't E-mail" ad. He's a moral moron.

3/4's of the Sheeple can't even tell you what "Watergate" was about....or who it was about.

What they can tell you about is...who is P.Diddy, who is Paris Hilton, and that Che Guevara is a T-Shirt.

That’s a good possibility. Especially since just yesterday Obama told his supporters to “get in their [voters not supporting Obama’s] faces.”
