Can someone explain to me why under Clinton, Bush and now Obama we take it up the pooper. I would LOVE to see a president tell the leader of the country that does this "knock it off or we will knock you off". I know we have entered the warm and loving phase of this country again (70's again) and i am a teddy rososevelt kind of guy. I surly would love to see a president just stand up and be strong, also following it threw would be nice.

Is it possible they want to copy it and other infrastuctures for use in their respective countries? I'm just guessing, but they're probably beyond archaic by American standards.

We offshore rather a lot in our global economy. Then again, none of us knows how they have their computer systems set up.

Whatever. We're not the NSA, FBI, CIA, or even AT&T. They likely know better than everyone else. Especially if President Obama's predecessor really did anything right...

Stop watching lazily written television. :) In real life, people use complex passwords. The problem is, they tape them to their monitor screens or "hide" them under their keyboards or mouse mats...

REALLY, R U SERIOUS! Anti-global U should be ashamed of yourself. Horrible racist undertones. I dont care if your friend fed you that crap even by force. You still sound racist. Your overtly selfish attitude is a perfect example of why so much of the world resents us. If u want to be the ultimate consumer who lives to gorge himself on the sweating backs of others, be prepared for the U.S. version of the French revolution. Suffering people around the world aren't going to allow glutinous people like u to say "Let them eat cake." Why do u think some bankers are taking extra long vacations in Europe? They r afraid, and rightly so.

U.S. hackers may hate our government but if china and russia shut us down all the hackers will just be jackers. if ya know what i mean. this is war, all you hackers, so get them before they get YOU!
