Is this the "Change!" Obama has been talking about?

What does this mean exactly?

Saying I am tech challenged would be an understatement.

A fair question.

You should absolutely never be able to see a directory listing on a production web site -- and especially not on one as sensitive as the web site of a presidential candidate.

This is amateurish beyond belief.

re: #4 coquimbojoe

A fair question.

Some one could have loads of fun with open image directories.....

Charles,

For those of us who aren't technically inclined, maybe you could let us know whether, in your professional judgment, these open directories could possibly let someone plant such information on the Obama website, or they simply provide a glimpse into what's stored there.

It's my limited understand that you could potentially use that information to exploit weaknesses in security, but it depends on how they've granted permissions to post.

Allowing directories to be viewed online is, in itself, a major security problem. Not because someone could tamper with the contents (you can't) but because it reveals an enormous amount of information to potential hackers.

With those directories open, could somebody install info, like gay cowboy porn or worse (aint goin there)

The Clintonistas weren't savvy enough to exploit this?

Whatever, the Obamatons will just use their own incompetence as an excuse and say all these pages were plants.

re: #20 Charles

That's what I figured. Thanks.

And for the record, has anyone tried this on the Clinton or McCain websites?

Team Obama is leaving these directories open, so in the rare, rare instance that any in the mainstream media would dare question Obama's character, Team Obama will simply say the website was hacked, and that will be that.

Have you ever tried to save the world? Well? Keeping you ignorant dolts in line is work enough. I can't be bothered by details.

True, in that case is it intentional? Give BHO plausible denialbility. Blame the web staff.

Its just indicative of the amateurish nature of the entire Obama campaign. They are not ready for prime time.

Now when BHO gets elected I'm expecting Charles gets a hat tip or maybe a some sort of parliamentary posting.

This can hardly go thankless.

Not to raise another issue, but I wonder just who is running the site, maybe it's all outsourced?

Which may be by design so they can use the "We were hacked!- the evil Republicans must have planted that" excuse when some really offensive stuff gets found.

Then again it is infinitely more probable that it is because BO's IT people are a bunch of incompetent drooling idiots.

It's a newbie mistake. It makes one wonder exactly what kind of staff Obama is hiring up there, with the tens of millions of dollars of exactly $2300 donations he's been getting.

It also makes one wonder exactly how secure any credit-card donations to his site are, whether his web people are smart enough to purge temp data, and why his web people use so many freebie scripts and buttons instead of doing custom stuff.

They-are-amateurs, entrusted with something of immense importance and sensitivity: his online image. Is he going to hire amateurs with tin badges to protect our borders, too?

Obama Takes Fire Over Adviser’s Relationship to Home Lender

A prominent adviser to Barack Obama drew criticism from the Republican party Monday over a loan deal with Countrywide Financial Corp., a company at the center of the subprime lending debacle.

James Johnson is on Obama’s vice presidential search team, but The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday he also received more than $7 million in loans, at least two loans of which were at below-market rates: a 5.25 percent loan for $1.3 million and a 3.875 percent for $971,000. The Journal reported that this special treatment came from a relationship with the company’s CEO, Angelo Mozilo.

re: #109 madisonsfriend

The problem (among many) is that the entire excuse/plan for dealing so heavily with "moderate" Fatah/PLO was that it was a counter-weight to the "militant" Hamas, and by strengthening Fatah/PLO the U.S. etc., would be putting Hamas out of business.

Many here on LGF (including Charles I believe) stated that this was just the Phakestinians playing the U.S. for fools in their bad-cop, worse-cop trick. Seems that once again, LGF was right.

You are correct, having Hamas in their camp will not taint Fatah, but will cleanse Hamas.

Now, those weapons, training, money, armed vehicles, etc., (which the U.S. gave to Fatah/PLO) will be in then hands of Hamas (as if they weren't before).

Believe it or not, it's not such a bad idea if the supplied fuel is adulterated* in such a way that it can't be re-processed into a fissionable product. There are ways to do that. I would imagine that Jhimma would give them the "good stuff" though.

true, just us evil Zionist Jews. there are some Jews who aren't Zionists- but I think they are mighty few and I wonder exactly how Jewish they are. Born Jewish but except for pronouncing their hate of Israel -what makes them Jewish? Aside from the NKs who are ultra orthodox- the rest of anti-Israel Jews seem non-religious. So if you aren't a religious Jew and you seek the destruction of Israel as a Jewish state- what makes someone a Jew?

re: #133 Athos

Yeah, appeasement and 'consideration' works.

I live in Iran from '66 to '76, I've heard from many sources both our Intelligence people and Iranians that Khomenini was just about shitting his pants when the students over ran the embassy. Khomenini was still consolidating power internally, and the worst thing was a confrontation with the US, the opposition could be exploited by the US and turn on Khomenini. In the first few days he would have folded like a wet towel, if a pair of clerks had driven up in a jeep. Carter's weakness so apparent so soon, Khomenini used it to consoldate power, little 'ole Khomenini had the most powerful man in the world by the shore hairs.

FEC donation listings are here. You should be able to find a complete, albeit very lengthy, donor database for Obama by following links at the bottom of the page.

Like I implied before -- there are an awful lot of exactly-$2300 donations. Hmm.

Kinda cool -- you can even see PDFs of filing papers with current mailing addresses, etc. It's a data miner's dream, and IMO should not be quite as public as it is.

Good point. However, I doubt DinnerJacket would accept fuel that was modified to prevent re-processing. Not when they are getting fuel from others without that limitation.

That, of course, offers a fundamental proof that the ultimate intent is not for civilian power development.

OT: The Price of the Surge

U.S. strategy is ... fostering the retribalization of Iraq all over again. In other countries in the region, such as Yemen, the result of allowing tribes to contest state authority is clear: a dysfunctional country prone to bouts of serious internecine violence. Such violence can also cross borders, especially if neighboring states are willing to use the tribes as their own agents. Pakistan provides a particularly ominous example of this dysfunctionality: its failure to absorb its Pashtun population has threatened the viability of the Pakistani state. The continued nurturing of tribalism in Iraq, in a way that sustains tribes in opposition to the central government rather than folding them into it, will bring about an Iraqi state that suffers from the same instability and violence as Yemen and Pakistan.

An interesting warning about the risks in Iraq, but...

A UN envoy would have a better chance of brokering a deal on the distribution of provincial and federal powers, the issue that led to the veto of the provincial election law, than would Washington. In a multilateral setting that is not conspicuously stage-managed by the United States, regional states, including Iran and Saudi Arabia, could play a pivotal role in this process. Although Tehran's cooperation is inevitably hostage to its broader relations with Washington, UN sponsorship of this effort might provide the leaders of Iran with the cover they need to act in their own interest. The Saudis, for their part, would like to see the UN involved and are prepared to use their influence and money to impel the parties in Iraq toward reconciliation.

That paragraph is laughably wrong. What evidence does the author have that the UN would be more successful? Has the ever been successful in the past? And why does he feel giving the Iranians diplomatic cover from the UN to further their own interests in Iraq is a positive thing?

From the ABC blog piece:

As an Instapundit reader notes "The Community Blogs at Obama 08 are no more 'official' than the rantings of BDS sufferers at an Obama rally. I have a blog there, just to prove how easy it is to get one, and Senator Obama has ZERO chance of getting my vote. You could have one. It’s as simple as signing up. There’s no vetting process of any kind. Any nut with an axe to grind can post any offensive material on the Community Blogs, and the Obama campaign will be unaware unless someone raises a stink. In fact, it’s entirely possible that a McCain operative could go on the site, create a blog, post offensive material, and then leak the URL to LGF to 'prove' how disreputable the Senator’s supporters are. Shades of Dan Rather!"

Yeah, that's it! It's a Republican conspiracy! There aren't really any hateful Obama supporters, they're all "Moby"s.

The State of the Union is that our government has been penetrated by Israeli spies and their neocon/AIPAC handlers. Wait a minute - I said it wrong - the State of the Union is that our government has been overthrown by this Neocon Coup. Sibel Edmonds has mangaged - only thru a now unAmerican trait called 'bravery' - to penetrate and begin to expose this Neocon war and lie machine...

I like how they all talk about how John McCain has this crap on his site as well as if we are all so enarmored with McCain that it would be so important...

Interesting reading though. Says he was able to get in and post it without any problems.

Now since I’ve been noticing how the Jew haters and terrorist lovers have been flocking to Obama. I decided to try a little experiment. I went to the Obama site, and just for fun, tried putting up a page called Jews Against Obama. Naturally, I received a message saying that my page would have to be approved by an administrator. (Sorry I have no screenshot.) So after waiting a few hours with my page not going live, I decided to try something else.

I made a page called Jemaa Islamiyah, and called myself Fatima. And sure enough, there was no message saying that my page would have to be approved by an administrator. It went up immediately. And this was back in March. I was surprised at the friendly welcoming comments I received. In fact, I even received an invitation from one guy to be a friend.

Just to refresh your memory, Jemaa Islamiyah was the group behind the Bali bombing. And just so you know, that page is still up on the Obama site.

No moderation what-so-ever, just post anything that fits with Obama's message and go. But, if it is anti-Obama, then it gets tossed. Proves beyond a doubt that the admin there is anti-semetic and will not allow anything anti-Obama.

re: #153 Charles

Yea because Leftists can't be racist, Anti-Semitic, or hate fillede...you see (pay no attention to ISM, A.N.S.W.E.R, Kos, DU, Huffpo, or anything you see on Zombietime) as those qualities are reserved for the evil "Right".

Reminds me of KTLK this morning when they were discussing the Sexism that Hillary experienced in the primary, but then somehow stated that most if not all of the Sexism came from the Republicans....yea, that's right...it was the Sexism of the Republicans that kept Hillary away from the nomination during the Democrat primaries. (Add to that the fact that when the Republicans did vote "flip" and vote in the Democrat primary they were voting for the Woman)

Guess the leftists can't wrap their little minds around the fact that they too have Racists, Anti-Semites, and hate filled idiots in their party.

McCain's pension questioned.

Sen. John McCain has long said he is in robust health and is strong enough to hike the Grand Canyon, but he also is receiving what his staff Monday termed a "disability pension" from the Navy.

When McCain released his tax return for 2007 on Friday, he separately disclosed that he received a pension of $58,358 that was not listed as income on his return.

Look at his arms you goddammed fucking ignorant fools (pardon the french I'm pissed). Also military disability payments are not taxed.

Chucky Schumer was on the local NY Fox morning show today and was giving the ol' sell for Obama now that Hillary is done...

With a straight face he said that 70% of Americans want corporations taxed and penalized, troops withdrawn from Iraq, higher taxes for the rich, more fairness for the poor, etc... Because ALL of the Americans want that, he believes it is going ot be a cakewalk for Obama and the Dems this year...
