After all the good stuff we find that the 3 contract workers involved were kind of interesting. One of them worked for an Obama advisor and the other two worked for one of Hillary's big benefactors. Expect this one will disappear from the MSM soonest. Love this one. After all the good stuff we find that the 3 contract workers involved were kind of interesting.

PERSONAL DATA IN DOCUMENTS - Applicant's date and place of birth. - Social Security number. - Mailing address. - Physical description. - Parents' names and birthplaces. I stand corrected (assuming the Post is correct about the SSNs)and I apologize for my error.

To expose these vast right wing conspiracies first you need to retrieve the radio transmitters embedded in the passport applications that have been carefully listening in on the sound of file drawers opening and closing for years. Then using the secret algorithims written by Jewish scientists at Dimona which will translate the types sounds made by the filing cabinets and identify who is opening and closing the file drawer. And whether they are right or left handed. Then and only then can it be revealed that that Sen. Obama's trip to Euro Disney and Sen. Clinton's use of the duty free shop in Gatwick were nothing more than fronts to meet with their contacts with either normal sized FBI agents or those perfidious Canadians.

I'm not sure what that means but I do have some insight here because I worked as a consular officer in a U.S. embassy. Basically, my insight is: I bet that this is exactly, exactly the same scenario that happened when the people at UCLA's medical facilities looked into Britney Spears's medical information. Certain people do have access to the passport records of all Americans in this big database. They can access it. However, absolutely none of the available information is earth shattering. They make a big, huge deal out of telling you in consular training that you are not supposed to look at people's information at all, ever, without a valid reason. If you do, you can get in big trouble, much like these people. As the instructors pointed out, it's kind of stupid to look because there's nothing worth seeing. Some people are just starf*****s.

If that is so, then the fact that the Obama peepers got fired while the McCain and Clinton peepers got reprimanded could (should?) become bigger than the original story. It is also possible that his years as a minor contain possibly embarrassing passport entry stamps, although I suspect that after a certain number of years they get archived and are not available to the general (ie: contract employee accessible) computer system. It is even probable that that old is only on paper and not on the computer system at all, although potential embarrassing unrevealed items might be cause for Obama to lash out at any possible breaches in the veil of obscurity.

Long story short, never take the wrong train and fall asleep. Interestingly enough my then new bride is my current bride.

It was all a way of Obama's cheerleaders to deflect attention from the very wrong Rev. Wright, whose story, even if all 100 senators' passport files have been "breached," will not disappear.
