Obama urges inquiry into passport snooping

Saturday Mar 22, 2008 – By Clutch

artcandidatesafpgi.jpgSen. Barack Obama called for an investigation Friday into how the security of the passport files of the three remaining presidential candidates was breached. The security of the passport files of the top presidential candidates was breached, the State Department says. The State Department admitted Friday that the passport files of Obama, Sen.

    Have you ever heard the phrase. “the first hen that cackles laid the egg”? Seems as though this is also true when “an injustic” such as the passport viewing took place. Who would have guessed that:The CEO of a company whose employee is accused of improperly looking at the passport files of presidential candidates is a consultant to the Barack Obama campaign, a source said Saturday. Obama’s people tried to victimize him and even went so far as to blame the Bush administration. What is next? Do we hear about the vast right-wing conspiracy. Mr. Obama is having difficulties covering his tracks lately and he is more now than ever proving that he is unqualified for his present job in the Senate, much less as the Commander on chief.
