There have been two main words which many have tried to associate with Obama which we know not to be true. For the elites in the MSM both of them would disqualify Barack from the presidency. One of them is 'muslim' and the other is 'socialist'-and both have been used repeatedly as slurs. If we are to believe the McCain campaign's insinuations, Barack Obama is a cross between Osama Bin Laden and Joseph Stalin, the religious right's chosen representatives for mainstream islam and socialism respectively.

According to a cached entry from 4chan.org on yahoo search results the password for her gov.sarah@yahoo.com email account was ...drum roll... pitlipbullstick19837.

According to Microsoft's Password Checker this is medium password strength.

A couple of notes:

When creating passwords, folks should use special characters and Upper/lowercase combos, not to mention avoiding variants of words that are easily associated to them...come on "pit bull" and "lipstick"? Like no one would have thought of that after her infamous RNC speech! As a general rule, everything in the dictionary should be off limits when selecting a password.

I'll bypass the questions that have come up about conducting official government business on a web-based yahoo account. However I can't help but ask: if she can't keep her own emails safe, how can she be trusted with national security?
