Barack Obama's Privacy is Breached by the US State Department
Breaking News: Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama's privacy was breached by multiple employees of the US State Department on January 9th, February 21st, and March 14th of this year.
Obama Passport Privacy Breach
On three separate occasions in 2008, Barack Obama's privacy was breached from within the US State Department. At least three different employees were involved in accessing Barack Obama's private passport records.The incidents happened on January 9th, February 21st, and March 14th of this year.
Barack Obama & his campaign were finally told on March 20th about the breach, BY A REPORTER. This is 70 days after the first incident. Fearing the end of their careers, State Department officials held back the information hoping to brush it under the rug.

"We Demand to Know Who Looked at the Passport File"
State Department Failure
Why Did it Take Almost 3 Months?
Two US State Department employees were fired, and a third was disciplined. But the big question is, why did it take so long for Barack to be notified?The fact that his private records were accessed from within the State Department is shocking enough, but the fact that the records were accessed three different times, the security breach was hidden from the public, AND Barack Obama himself wasn't told until today (70 days later) is just outrageous.
The State Department claims there was no political motivation for the passport records breach, but how exactly do they know that? Did they waterboard the employees to find out?
What Information Does a Passport Record Contain?
- Home Address
- Telephone Numbers

- Social Security Number
- 40 years of World Travel History
- Other Private Information
It happened to Bill Clinton Too
When He Was Running For President
The same thing happened to Bill Clinton while he was running for President, and the matter was immediately reported to the Inspector General for a full investigation.In the case of Barack Obama's same invasion of privacy, the Inspector General just learned about the incident on March 20th, over 2 months after the first breach of security.

Privacy Went Out the Window Years Ago...
1984?
This is clearly an outrageous breach of security & privacy. If the private records for the front runner of the most important presidential campaign in decades can be breached, there is surely no hope for the rest of us. Did you enjoy my Lens?
