Once again the POTUS plays dumb. He heard about it on the news. :rolleyes: So, are we to believe the POTUS 's information gathering apparatus is inferior to the news media? Apparently so, since this is a common response. In IT, we used to have a term, Artificial Ignorance.

In the video a reporter calls the spokesperson on it. My question is, Doesn't his email exchange with the Sec of State make him complicit? Are we to believe the Sec of State's email address didn't look different from all the other "official" emails?

"Yes, he was aware of her email address. He traded emails with her," Obama spokesman Josh Earnest told ABC's Jonathan Karl. "But he was not aware of her personal email server or that she was using it exclusively for all her business."

In an interview Saturday, Obama said he learned of his secretary of state's private email address use through recent news reports, "the same time everybody else learned it."

If so then he has an incompetent staff, but that's the easy answer and not the one I believe.

As a contractor with the Department of State currently, I will simply comment that we are told in orientation and it is re-iterated every year in the mandatory security briefing that using a Personal Email Account for Department business is ground for immediate termination. And several Department bigwigs have been terminated or heavily sanctioned for it.

And I was here before Hillary or Kerry.

Dragging this one out of the archives from my email to Glenn Reynolds back on Oct. 28, 2012:

I was telling my wife last night about how Arlo wrote a song about Watergate with the line "If you didn't know about that one, then what else don't you know?" in it.

Well I pulled up the lyrics today and it's scary how well the song applies to the situation Obama is in now. Not that I hear Arlo singing it now mind you....

Presidential Rag

You said you didn't know
That the cats with the bugs were there
And you never go along
With that kind of stuff no where

But that just isn't the point, man
That's the wrong, wrong way to go
If you didn't know about that one
Well, then what else don't you know


You said that you were lied too
Well, that ain't hard too see
But you must have been fooled again
By your friends across the sea

And maybe you were fooled again
By your people here at home
Because nobody could talk like you
And know what's going on

Nobody elected your family
And we didn't elect your friends
No one voted for your advisors
And nobody wants amends

You're the one we voted for
So you must take the blame
For handing out authority
To men who were insane

You say its all fixed up now
You've got new guys on the line
But you had better remember this
While you still got the time

Mothers still are weeping
For their boys that went to war
Father still are asking
What the whole damn thing was for

And people still are hungry
And people still are poor
And an honest week of work these days
Don't feed the kids no more

Schools are still like prisons
'Cuz we don't learn how to live
And everybody wants to take
Nobody wants to give

Yes, you will be remembered
Be remembered very well
And if I live a long life
All the stories I could tell

A many who are in, in poverty
Of sickness and of grief
Hell yes, you will be remembered
Be remembered very well

You said you didn't know
That the cats with the bugs were there
You'd never go along
With that kind of stuff no where

But that just isn't the point, man
That's the wrong, wrong way to go
You didn't know about that one
Well, then what else don't you know
