Open question: How over-the-top does one have to be to make others realize it's sarcasm?

My apologies if I didnt get your sarcasm. but unfortunately with all the crap going around the internet about him these days, you never know what people actually think or believe. It is common practice on here to make your text green if you are being sarcastic.

Please accept my apologies.

Green just takes away some of the fun. If you see green text, you know from the get-go that what you're reading is not serious, which takes away the surprise. I'll use green sometimes, but if it's off-the-wall ludicrous, like this, I assume people will understand.

 

But, yes, it was sarcastic. Now, his frequent afternoon teas with bin Laden, on the other hand...

I enjoy the immediate indignant reaction to obvious sarcasm though, sometimes its worth it. Kalapse is very good at that.

See, unfortunately when it comes to the inaccurate crap about Obama, there isnt anything that is obvious anymore. I know better, and many of my fellow Obama supporters on here know better. but some people in the US dont. A lot of people in the US still think he's muslum!

I think the esteemed Reverend Jeremiah Wright broke that misconception for many people.

Passports probe focuses on worker

By Bill Gertz and Jon Ward

March 22, 2008

 

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice apologized for the improper access to passport files by contractors.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The State Department investigation of improper computer access to passport records of three presidential candidates is focusing on one remaining employee — a contract worker with a company headed by an adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. Barack Obama

 

The probe by State's inspector general will include polygraph tests for supervisors in the passport section to find out whether the three contract employees who accessed the records had a political motive or were part of a political operation to obtain personal data on Mr. Obama, Sen. John McCain or Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

 

Two of the three contract employees had been fired before The Washington Times first reported Thursday on security breaches involving Mr. Obama's passport records. The furor expanded yesterday to incidents involving the passport records of Mr. McCain and Mrs. Clinton.

 

The third employee, who has not been fired, worked for The Analysis Corporation (TAC), which is headed by John O. Brennan, a former CIA agent who is an adviser to Mr. Obama's presidential campaign on intelligence and foreign policy.

 

The TAC employee is the only individual to have accessed both Mr. Obama's and Mr. McCain's passport information without proper authorization, a State Department spokesman said. That employee, who was not named, triggered an electronic alarm system, officials familiar with the probe said.

 

The accessed records have the data provided in passport applications and used by the department to issue or renew travel documents.

 

State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said he was unaware of the specific activities of the IG investigation but said all three contract employees will be questioned.

a CLEARLY there was some political reasoning behind all this. Seriosuly, I think this will all be much ado about nothing. Just some stupid people in a situation that was GROSSLY misshandled by the state department.

 

Clinton has ties to one of the heads who was in charge of this department. So, it's a wash.

I see. Now that it turns out that it MAY not be a nefarious Clinton scheme or something from the dead ghost of Rove, it will be much ado about nothing. What if this ex-person was in there deleting places Obama may have visited? Or adding some? Hmmm.

 

News cycle #1. "someone" in the State Department looked in private passport information regarding Obama.

 

News cycle #2. OUTRAGE from Obama.

 

News cycle #3. State Department will investigate and behead, or at least fire the responsible ones.

 

News cycle #4 Clintons passport information was also accessed.

 

News cycle #5 The responsible ones were subcontractors to the State Department, and have already been fired.

 

News cycle #6 McCain's information was accessed also.

 

News cycle #7 Silence.

 

News cycle #8 The subcontractor that looked at the Obama and McCain information is the same person, and that person works for Obama's intelligence advisor
