Did the Bush administration ever have "server outages"?

Nitwits. It takes them half a day to get an email server back up... They should outsource to someone competent.

It took them half a day to realize it was out the other half to find the reset button.; Like this Reply to this comment

They probably shut it down on purpose once they found that Bush's auto-delete everything daemon was still running.


by rcrusoe January 27, 2009 2:09 PM PST: Bush didn't need an auto-delete daemon. The White House switched from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Exchange in 2002.

IMO, the only reason to do that was so everyone would believe them when they said, "The server lost our emails". :); Like this

as opposed to the Clinton staff removing the "W" from every keyboard or piece of equipment before leaving, which is actually a documented fact. cute; Like this
