I think it is hilarious cyber security is an issue the President needs a press conference for today.
North Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Job losses, GM Bankruptcy, Millions of forelclosures... Oh and DO not forget - make sure we have those firewalls turned on.

Didnt Obama want federal access to our computers? Now he wants to keep others out of his?

I have Norton Utilities. Thank you

I guess you didn't hear about how our freaking power grid was hacked last year? Yeah, I'd consider that pretty important.

Exactly. He said he wants to communicate with and inform the public - unlike some others.

The problem is that sometimes the best security measures, are the ones not talked about..
