I'm surprised anybody is upset about the WH viewing and/or preserving public websites. The whole point of making a statement in public (rather than in private) is to air the statement to a wide audience.
When I was bothering to watch Congress, I kept my notes on a blogsite (cboldt.blogspot.com), and a substantial fraction of the visits (maybe even most) were from government-related IP addy's. Didn't bother me in the least.
I guess I don't like the fact that they're using tax payer money for political gain. That's against the law, and we shouldn't take that lightly. If the DNC wants to do this, fine. But when the white house does it the line is crossed. The white house is powerful, and this is an abuse of that power directed at one of our fundamental rights: freedom of speech.
This shouldn't be taken lightly.
