Well, although this is unbelievably* stupid thing to do, this isn't really his fault, unless he himself wrote the website.
On the other hand, if someone can't pick a competent employees/subordinates/contractors for something like that, well, the farther he is from any position where he can pick contractors and subordinates, the better.
* It's not like they did just one thing wrong, this happens to everybody. But to allow an attack like that you have to screw up practically everything, from initial design to your server administration...
And evading the responsibility for your poor judgement and trying to reframe the problem as a partisan issue is absolutely appaling. If understandable. Hey, it worked in the past! But now all these blame-games are increasingly clownish. Rush Limbaugh perceived as the leader of GOP? Dem's conspiracy! Lowest-bidder contractor did a sloppiest job ever? Democrat hacker vigilantes! It rains on a weekend? Democrats! Pathetic.
