Obama has called for investigations; he would hardly do that if he was behind his own breach of passport information.
His call for an investigation was pro forma
His reaction was pretty mild which either indicates that he he knows this flap amounts to nothing, or that his own people were involved.
I don't, for a minute, suggest that he was behind his own breach of passport information, and I don't believe he instructed his minions to breach the confidentiality of Clinton or McCain. My bet is that he knew nothing of this nonsense, and was never asked to sanction it.
This truly is a tempest in a teapot. There is nothing in passport records that is not available through a hundred other public sources.
Here's what probably happened: Low level employees of State Dept contractors with access to passport applications, got bored and went on a fishing expedition. They probably found it cool to see the passport photos of famous people, and I bet this breach isn't limited to three candidates for the presidency of the US.
Democrats, once getting wise to the breach, saw it as a political weapon against their enemies - Republicans, and so they puffed it up far beyond its actual significance.
There is nothing nefarious about the State Dept's involvement in this fart in the wind nor Ombama and his campaign staff's.
It is delicious only because Democratic jerks have hoped to make some real hay out of it and so when it becomes known that the perps are employees of a key Obama supporter, I can't help but grin with great satisfaction.
