“Like the Department of Energy, the OPM had been repeatedly warned that its network was vulnerable, but did next to nothing to fix it.

Is it going to take a cataclysmic cyberattack before the Obama administration takes these threats seriously?”

When are the fools in this country going to wake up and realize this is all in his plan to “fundamentally” change this country.

Is it any wonder this country is in such a mess? Donald Trump hit the nail squarely on the head when he said something to the effect that the odumbo administration is “totally incompetent”. Who can disagree with that statement?

The democrat 3:00 AM alarm clock has a perpetual snooze button feature.

Exactly . . . all is going according to his plan. This is for the fundamental transformation (destruction) of the United States of America.

I give him no benefit of the doubt as those that say he is incompetent - this is intentional.

Yeah, I went from the "He's incompetent" camp to the "It's intentional" group after reading Dinesh DiSousa's (sp?) book. The most telling point, in my mind, is that O entitled his autobiography "Dreams From My Father" (a self-avowed Communist), not "Dreams of My Father".

It appears that his entire staff of specialists works overtime to find new ways of destroying the country.

Does everyone realize that control over our nuclear weapons production was turned over to the department of energy during the Clinton years?
the Energy Department -- specifically the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) -- is responsible for ensuring the integrity and safety of the nation’s nuclear weapons, advancing nuclear nonproliferation and promoting international nuclear safety.

potentially putting the nation's power grid at risk

100% BS. DOE does not have control of any power grid.

You are right. With Obama, this is not politics as usual. He has divided our nation into factions against one another, keeping us distracted, as he implements destruction from all angles.

I do.

There is a difference between "incompetent" and "criminal". A big difference. We need to call a spade a spade and not soft-lens what is going on. After 7 years of this Administration it is glaringly obvious they are not merely the former. It is a criminal enterprise out of control and without Constitutional restraints.
