Hillary Rodham Clinton's use of a private email server to conduct government business when she served as secretary of state was "a mistake," but didn't endanger national security, President Barack Obama said during an interview airing Sunday on CBS's "60 Minutes."
Obama said public officials have to be more sensitive about how they handle information and personal data. Yet he also said the criticism of Clinton has been "ginned up" because of politics.
"I think she'd be the first to acknowledge that maybe she could have handled the original decision better and the disclosures more quickly," Obama said.
Obama downplayed the threat to national security, and when it was pointed out that his administration has prosecuted people for having classified material on their private computers, the president said he didn't get the impression there was an intent to "hide something or to squirrel away information." He also said he was not initially aware of her use of the private email server.

And those who know pc security better than Obama or Hillary will tell you the installation of her home pc and software was amateur. She knew better. She originally said she knew the difference of what was classified and what was not but now her story has changed. She's a pathetic liar and Obama is probably protecting her to a point because of a former promise to Bill.
According to Obama then, the men that flew the planes into the twin towers "Just made a mistake".
Most people in prison made mistakes so she won't be any different.
Ted Bundy just made a mistake, Lee Harvey Oswold, Charles Manson, OJ Simpson, Hitler, hell they all just made mistakes.
Guess she's not the world's smartest woman after all.
A mistake that she should be punished for, as General Patraeus was.
Bernie Madoff made a mistake too.
