Obama Adviser Linked to McCain's Passport Breach -- Poor Obamaman


Keith Obamaman was busily erecting a guillotine for Hillary last week as he all but convicted her of being behind Obama's passport breach. In MSNBC's never-ending quest to prove that Hillary is an EVIL BITCH, Keith treated the Obama passport breach like it was WaterGate II. Obamaman devoted long minutes of his show to reading aloud from Obama press releases. But if Keith wasn't reporting the view from the Obama camp, his very long show would be reduced to maybe twenty minutes.

Keith even discovered that someone who used to work for the State Department knew Bill Clinton! As usual, the joke is on the Misogyny Channel's prime time Obamaman. Poor Keith. He sure won't be getting any exclusive interviews with Madame President.

Time's Swampland reports:

Last Thursday the Obama campaign was up in arms over the news that the Illinois senator's passport information had been breached. . .

Well, be careful what you wish for. Turns out, one of the three people who accessed the candidate's files works for... wait for it... Obama foreign policy advisor, John O. Brennan, president and CEO of the Analysis Corp. Brennan’s employee was the only one of the three who was not fired, merely disciplined and, CNN’s Zain Verjee reports, the unnamed employee also accessed John McCain’s files. In a separate breach, Hillary Clinton’s passport information was also breached.

The idea that it may have a campaign operative is hardly surprising. As my colleague Brian Bennett notes this also happened in the 1992 election when 41’s staff tried to access Bill Clinton’s passport details. The question throughout this mini-scandal has been: what, if anything, of interest was learned. But with today’s revelation a new question arises: will Obama be forced to distance himself or fire yet another advisor for lowering themselves to “politics as usual” tactics, ie doing opposition research on McCain?
