Its Obama's fault his phone records were breached. He shouldn't have sought the limelinght...he shouldnt have used an unsecure line. Obama is a big clown who should be making balloon animals for 5 year olds, not running the country.

If I recall you were all blaming her. How's bout noting that Obama should have stopped using a cell phone when he began his run.

They were likley union employees and could not be fired — this is what is wrong in America - at the auto companies, cities and towns, states, US government, and anywhere else theree are unions." What are you talking about? American unions are weaker now than they have been since before the Great Depression -- and there isn't a union in the country that can stop an employee from being fired if they break the law or don't meet the requirements of their employment agreements/contracts. Stop regurgitating Rush Limbaugh's uninformed gibberish! "When confronted and caught, Verizon gave the employees time off with pay.

The retail staff in these stores are mostly younger, with no college degree, and the turn over rate is very high. This was probably some kid that couldn't resist temtation once he figured out Barack Obama had Verizon. This will probably happen at his credit card companies too. Someone being nosey and checking his statement, just because they have the access. I dont believe its a huge conspiracy. This is no surprise to me.

Wasn't it Barrack's mastery of the cell phone and email that was one of the reasons why he should have been president? I seem to remember an ad campaign pointing out that McCain shouldn't be president because he couldn't use email. Well, at least he didn't get hacked. So, what is the rate when you go over your minutes talking to Oprah? Besides, Barry shouldn't have anything to worry about. One 'social' visit by his good buddy Bill Ayers and I'm sure Verizon will stop. And Obama08, with your little claim of Republican involvement, quick, get under your bed. The black helicopters are hovering over your mommy and daddy's house right now! They're on to you! Wait a minute.

McCain was singing Joe the Plumber like a lyric all through his Campaign as if Joe the Plumber is smarter than any other American. We know what the result of that was, right?
