Now there is no need to talk about Obama's racist comment.

7. Someone was trying to get into his passport file to create a story.
I'm sure suggesting that Obama spent his summer vacation frolicking with Bin Laden.

8. It means either GOP Oppo research or Camp Clinton
wanted to look at where Obama traveled to, to try and smear him with it.

I'm guessing someone was looking for a 'terrorist country' stamp on the passport.

20. Early reports says the two ppl fired were 'contract employees.'
They could have come from anywhere, could be working for anybody.

Could have landed the gig specifically to do this.

Does this tin-foil hat make me look fat?

Hmmm... Surely, those feaks would relish the opportunity to nail Bill and Hill one last time.

21. Yes
For those keeping score, diGenova was the "independent counsel" appointed to investigate former President George H.W. Bush and Co. for their illegal handling of Bill Clinton's passport files. For some reason, diGenova was conveniently appointed to the investigation just a couple of years before the U.S. District Court of Appeals ruled that the counsels' most important attribute was independence from the administration under investigation.
Here's how diGenova's absurdly partisan dismissal of the charges was reasoned in 1995:
As independent counsel, I have just wrapped up a three-year inquiry into the State Department's search of Bill Clinton's passport file when he was a Presidential candidate. The investigation found no criminality, just political stupidity, in the Bush Administration.

More at the link on the ridiculousness of the findings of this investigation.

15. Shades of 1992 - when GHWB looked into Clinton's and his mom's
I never did figure out why they looked at his mom's.

25. The GOP is going to try to pin this on Clinton.
For her sake, I hope it's not true. But that's the only explanation as to why the Moonie Times is breaking this story.

Maybe they caught someone other than themselves with their hands in the (passport) cookie jar.
