> Obama's reaction was - nothing
Nothing publicly. There was a public reaction to this issue because when "some elites of his own party got egg on their face" it was front page news for months that potentially effected the integrity of our election process. The OPM hacks were a disaster in terms of information security, but disappeared in a few news cycles because it didn't effect everyday citizens and had nothing to do with the fundamentals of our democracy.
- tomohawk 10y agoAre you kidding? Getting the inside scoop on a very large chunk of the federal workforce has "nothing to do with the fundamentals of our democracy"? This is nothing short of an act of war. What do you think will happen to the US if suddenly a large number of people in the federal workforce wake up to no money in the bank? Do you think the government will be able to respond effectively to whatever crisis (likely involving China) is going on? If you have some evidence that Obama did something then present it. If not, just wishful thinking.
- rqebmm 10y ago> Getting the inside scoop on a very large chunk of the federal workforce has "nothing to do with the fundamentals of our democracy"? Yes. It has nothing to do with the fundamentals of our democracy. It absolutely has to do with the fundamentals of our government, but how we elect that government is not directly effected. >If you have some evidence that Obama did something then present it. If not, just wishful thinking. I obviously have no evidence, but I think it's more educated guess than wishful thinking considering that high level government officials have publicly said that's the M.O. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/16/us/politics/biden-hints-at-us-response-to-cyberattacks-blamed-on-russia.html http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/16/us/politics/biden-hints-at...
