Obama anti-censorship!
Obama vows U.S. response to North Korea over Sony cyber attack
Just kidding. Every byte of SONY's data already resided in NSA hard drives.

The President has a big mouth. He just surrendered plausible deniability for anything bad that happens to North Korea, anything they can accuse the US of instigating in retaliation for the Sony fiasco, whether the US has underlying responsibility or not. Obama gave them a motive they can assign to us and painted us into another corner with his posturing. He's no Shaka Zulu.
Obama still hasn't learned how to walk softly and carry a big stick; or, that talk is cheap. That's reflected in his popularity polls. There are short term solutions to appease people's anger and long term solutions to counter problems like this. The short term solution isn't flapping your gums and making threats. The short term solution requires action; but, this President just isn't astute enough to come up with something like having Sony immediately release the movie in all movie theaters on all US military installations around the world and inviting foreign VIPs from all walks of life to attend special viewings at our installation's theaters in their countries. That would send an appropriate message to both foreign hackers and domestic capitulators. Posturing on the long term solution is a sign of weakness indicating the President may not expect to be in office long enough to implement it. Now he has to respond with something "proportional" [Obama] within a few months or else that impression will stick. "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing" [Disney] in situations like this. The talking should have been done in sequester and the first thing the public should have heard from him was about doings already in progress. I won't be surprised if a significant part of this President's legacy is that Americans had to settle for less due to his methodology of too often coming up a day late and a dollar short. And that's that. |

It's like, you know that old throw rug gramma had in the 60s that we put at the base of the basement steps so we know where the landing is and it got all moldy? Well, the dog just peed on it. I blame Obama. |

It's a simplified repeat, of where I suspect this President's legacy is headed, for those who like pictorial communication.

Obama telling N. Korean hackers that we'll retaliate whenever and however we feel like it is more like George Jr. telling Al-Qaeda terrorists to bring it on ... a childishly cocky invitation to escalation.

PC folks can kiss my South Mississippi ass, but obama is nothing but a chi-town nigger. Now jump on that. And a very MERRY CHRISTMAS to all. And just in case Christmas might offend, fuck off!

No, what Obama is doing that is maddening, is blaming Sony:
http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/21/politi...ber-vandalism/ Quote:
Really. They called the FBI, which reports to Obama, and who were on the case all along. Good LORD. Who would have taken that call? And what are we supposed to call the President about from now on, instead of the FBI? And what does the President do at that point, does he start directing traffic on this problem? He's six years into this job and he wants to micromanage? Does he think it's all about him? Why was the very first reaction to deflect blame? Isn't that exactly what we don't respect as a culture? Why isn't he all over the Director of the FBI on this, whom he appointed only a year ago and whose job is specifically to brief the Director of National Intelligence, who then is supposed to brief the President? |

I would blame Bo and Sunny...but you know Barack put them up to it.
Quote:
The FBI's jurisdiction is limited to reporting the criminal activity, the hacking. Do we want that expanded to them opening files on American citizens and reporting lawful political incorrectness like not showing some movies in theaters? We might need a Congressional oversight committee on un-American activities to keep track of it all. |

How much money did Sony spend on his election if he expects a call?

Maybe Michelle can take those calls. Then we'll have the President and Commander-in-chief with his spouse, First Lady and Call Girl, working on it.

We know Sony is losing market share in their every business (ie semiconductors, consumer electronics, phones, medical equipment, finance) because management is incompetent. How could someone destroy the legacy of Akio Morita so quickly? Anyone defending Sony for this or so many previous mistakes apparently waits to be told how to think. Only someone as dumb as sexobon would then fear threats from a near zero technology country lead by an adolescent. But then who made decisions to even ignore obvious and insufficient cyber security? Then lie about why they cannot release a movie that properly mocks extremists such as Kim Jong-un and sexobon. A scumbag could apologize for being so ignorant as to disparage Michelle Obama. But he will not until ordered to by right wing wacko extremists who must tell him what to think. Could he be any dumber? Oh. Then he can star in a sequel of the same name - which Sony would ban if they distributed it. Then sexobon can be praised in history as a great leader like Kim. What is the difference between Kim and sexobon? Both are wacko and extremist. But Kim is enough of an adult to not call Michelle Obama a whore. Who has sexobon not yet insulted? How many of us are on his list of whores and pimps? |
