Well, sort of...
If you think that is significant .... check out the checkout-aisle potboiling yellow papers. The Globe jumped all over Obama the other day.
Of the two papers, I'd be willing to bet a couple of bottlecaps that Plouffe and Axelrod will lose more sleep over the Globe's diss than this New York Times piece.

You can’t oppose this regime and get away with it.
Rush is covering this story presently on his radio program.
“President Obama’s Dragnet - The Administration Has lost all Credibility.”
They added..on this issue later after it was already on line.
BTTT!
One agency at a time you can see that the White house has turned the government against the American people: IRS, Justice, NSA, TSA, Federal Elections Commission, Labor Dept, State Department, Homeland Security, surveillance systems, phones, e-mail and even the economy itself. Congress needs to act FAST because the people are close to acting on their own. Out here it looks like a coup-de-tat against the good Americans. THIS CANNOT BE COINCIDENCE!
The Obama administration is gathering all of this data for the same reason they want to have massive voter registration (regardless of whether the “registered” will actually vote or not).
Where true Voter ID is not practiced, each and every registration presents the opportunity for someone to go in and vote as that registered name. And that somebody doing the voting can run around to different precincts as much as they can on election day and vote under however many names that they have time for. It just takes a moment before going in to review the “target” name and address (which is typically all that is needed to be given a ballot.
In the same fashion, corrupt federal employees can query the massive database of telephone, credit card and internet queries/communication “metadata” to pick up targeted information on a given “targeted” individual.
The NYT is probably only jumping in with a little criticism after the British papers published information from the leaked documents.
