Obamas bemoan White House wi-fi

46 minutes ago From the section US & Canada

The Obamas have lamented patchy wi-fi coverage in the White House during a TV interview.

There are a "lot of dead spots", President Obama revealed during a pre-Super Bowl interview on CBS.

"It can be a little sketchy," added Michelle. The couple's daughters, Sasha and Malia, were "just irritated by it", she said.

Mr Obama traditionally does an interview ahead of the biggest American Football game of the year.

The president added he had been trying to improve the wi-fi "for the next group of folks".

Just what we want, a robust wifi in the White House every nation in the world can tap into.

Five’ll get you ten that’s exactly what they’re thinking.

And he hates having to enter passwords so he wants to run it without encryption.

Just two more grifting moochers living in government housing
and whining about the free stuff they get from taxpayers.

Probably because some hacker from East Farkistan is aiming a 30dB yagi at the WH from a half-mile away and logging every keystroke.

Maybe this is just Obama’s subtle way of telling us he doesn’t have any secret IT systems around the place.

But you know what? The WH will be deluged with calls tomorrow from companies wanting to give the Obama’s free wi-fi stuff.

THis word ‘folks’ that was used points to Obama and his privilege.

This regime has total disregard for any information systems security. Of course Hillary’s e-mails, and now this. As for the latter, I have done some work at US Government facilities where any wireless data communication was specifically prohibited with the exception of secure links. Thus no mobile, wifi, Bluetooth, or any other commercial or consumer grade technology. And still hard drives went “missing”.

Idiot. Most of the rooms are shielded rooms for security reasons.

His ignorance is brilliant.

I suppose the person in charge of IT for the White House thinks of the Obamas what I think of the Obamas.

If Trump wins the WiFi will be yuge and great.

Life is SO rough. Did he pout, wear his hoody, say the guys doing the network setup “weren’t anything special,” and walk out after three minutes?

Trump better bring in his OWN team to go over the WH with a fine tooth comb. Can’t even begin to imagine what booby traps will be left.
