Maybe because the title and bulk of the article directly attributes the problems discussed to Obama and his administration? That the ability to abuse such things was made easier during his term? The problem may be bigger than any one person, but that doesn't mean we don't discuss their possible role in that problem.
Would not a discussion over Obama's possible involvement in the problem possibly bring such a thing to light? Is "he might have been blackmailed" a reason for everybody else to not discuss something?
