President Obama said Saturday that he is "concerned" by the FBI assessment that the State Department has acted carelessly in handling classified information.
"I am concerned," he told reporters at a news conference in Warsaw Saturday, according to Reuters .
But he cast the problem as a government-wide struggle to keep up technology and the fast-paced flow of information.
"The advent of email and texts and smart phones is just generating enormous amounts of data," Obama said, which is "putting enormous pressure on the department to sort through it, classify it properly."
In concluding the FBI's investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server, Director James Comey found that "the security culture of the State Department in general, and with respect to use of unclassified systems in particular, was generally lacking in the kind of care for classified information that's found elsewhere in the U.S. government."
Obama said State's issue processing classified information "reflects a larger problem in government."
The State Department has refuted Comey's characterization; spokesman John Kirby said the department takes classification " very, very seriously."
How in the world did any so-called ‘university’ ever graduate this simpleton idiot?
‘The State Department has refuted Comey’s characterization; spokesman John Kirby said the department takes classification “ very, very seriously.” ‘
It’s not really a contradiction to say you take something “very, very seriously” and yet be found to be doing an “extremely careless” job at the same time. Investigating officers find this out all the time. It’s called “talking the talk but not walking the walk.”
I’ll believe Mr. Kirby when we see real punitive action taken against Hillary and the State Department cabal.
What’s that sound???
Oh, yeah. Crickets.
Security regulations are only for little people, it seems.
It would be nice to be able to slap the teeth of people's lying mouths when they make baseless assertions as "fact".
Seems to me Mr. President that your concern is as flimsy as your integrity, considering you were emailing Hillary on her non-government issued account.
That is no doubt why the investigation was swept under the rug; too many high level officials breaking the law to go charging those folks...
Excellent question, I suspect the answer may have something to do with the administration and so-called professors in the leftist “universities.”
what is his concern,,,???
he has CAIR / Muslim Brotherhood working in the white house, the pentagon, the fbi, the cia and state.....
what is his concern??
This is an intentional distraction from the Clinton Foundation money laundering.
That’s where the real scandals lie. FBI knew it.
Watch Trump over the next month.
Cause she and Bill had already done their homework on him and they have “ALL” his sealed records...including his BC and college records......
What does ValJar use for e-mail?
He classified his whole life history better than Harridan Hillary maintained the information she had.
Who’s he kidding? He must have received emails from her that the source could easily have been identified and red flags going up with fireworks to the moon! He should have known something wasn’t right, asked a few questions, and corrected the problem.That’s what a president does. Guess I answered that question.

And the MSM thought Bush was stupid.
Barry is a “concern” troll.
Whew. I guess it’s all over now.
“President Obama said Saturday that he is “concerned” by the FBI assessment that the State Department has acted carelessly in handling classified information.”
If I remember correctly, it was stated that “Hillary Clinton acted carelessly in handling classified information”. How to parse words to blame everyone but the perp!
What a nightmare we are living in these days.
