WikiLeaks just keeps on leaking, and though one of Thursday’s tweets teased emails sent via President Obama’s secret address, the emails were exchanged before and on Election Day 2008, so the findings aren’t quite a juicy as the FBI’s revelation that the president had been using a pseudonym in emails to Hillary Clinton’s unsecured server that he didn’t know anything about.

They are pretty meh, and the White House has no intention of discussing any emails supposedly sent by President Obama while he was a private citizen.
WH declines to comment or confirm authenticity, stressing it generally hasn't commented on content of stolen emails from a private citizen. https://t.co/SAjLUFrz8e

Still, the emails to and from bobama@ameritech.net give a little insight into the work being done by Obama’s transition team. Considering that just four years later Mitt Romney’s debate line about binders full of women would inspire feminist outrage (and some sorry looking Halloween costumes), Obama’s lucky his lists of cabinet candidates sorted into “rough food groups” weren’t toted around in Trapper Keepers.
Whatever you do with the attached lists of women and minorities, DO NOT print them and put them in binders!https://t.co/urw6ySBOiR pic.twitter.com/SCJCrCP693

Let’s see if Obama’s diversity list checks out: it included separate baskets of African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans, Arab/Muslim Americans, and Disabled Americans. Women were listed on their own dedicated sheet.

please note there were no Jewish Americans on the list but Muslims were included

Whoever Larry is hasn’t been confirmed, but there’s one clue: women weren’t his taste. It sucked that Susan M. Collins wasn’t available, but an Asian would be OK.
Someone on the 2008 Obama transition team probably needed to go get binders full of Asians. https://t.co/uoyOmPkvIB pic.twitter.com/xmSD2fW8So

Ugh – the last sentence is the worst: "I know this isn't Larry's taste, but better if a woman."

Ugh. Women, right?
Best part is Froman sent the personnel lists directly from his Citi account. Citi got $476.2 billion in cash and guarantees in the bailout.
