Data and Rudy,
Is this supposed to concern me? If they can hack into the Prez's account, should I now be worried or am I conflating the two? I really think you guys have way too much faith in the govt...
It is not uncommon on computers nowadays. Virus, hacking is so common. But we need to stay away from important stuff.
Who ever did that will be Droned !
no river wide enough , no Mountain high enough , no valley low enough , to keep me away from u !
the timing of this is odd with the nsa and everything with france and germany if the shoe fits
Who would believe anything in a tweet by Obama, He is as sleazy as Clinton.
Well at least it is going to a dictator's site now, like it should be.
Someone needs to tap this guys phones.
Maybe someone wanted to remind us why the NSA was given so much power. Twelve years has past since 9/11. The horror of that day has faded for many.
Hack Democrat gets hacked.
Only two were hacked? That's where the credibility goes away. Looks like a tweet freudian slip. Must be the same hacker that tweeted for anthony weiner.
Does the President really need to be tweeting?? I know he is only human too, but come on!!
