Obama wants unfettered access to your Internet activity

Despite outrage over George Bush's limited ability to wiretap into American phone calls, Obama wants to take it a step further and be able to monitor every single form of communication any American citizen uses.

The same kind of authority the government has to wiretap into phone calls could be coming to Facebook, instant messaging, and every American's browser history, thanks to a push from the Obama administration.

The White House plans to introduce a bill into Congress next year that would give Obama the ability to tap into literally every communication any citizen makes online.

The move causes a whole new level of privacy concerns. After the outrageous uproar of the Bush administration's tapping into American phone records, privacy advocates should be all over this.

In a report on the New York Times, Center for Democracy and Technology VP James Dempsey was quoted as saying, "They basically want to turn back the clock and make Internet services function the way that the telephone system used to function."

He can have unfettered access to my ire and my bad attitude, but he needs to keep his mitz off my internetz.

Yeah, fine sure ~ I got some stuff to tell him and he’s not going to like it. Still, the proponents have not guaranteed us that Obama is going to be made to listen to this stuff.

Sheeyit. As if they would waste their time going through Congress.

This from a red diaper doper baby who doesn’t give a crap about jihadists within the US military. This is NOT about tracking terrorists.

In a totalitarian Communist State this is priority one.

[muawiyah]

Did anyone notice that the point of the bill is to "give Obama the ability to tap", but not to give him "the authority to tap".

I'm trying to imagine how you'd do this ~ maybe cut him a new orifice or two into which electronic body impedence plugs would be inserted, then he could go around like a two legged R2D2 "tapping" into the internet at public outlets.

Ubama is waging a jihad against criticism.

Excatly right. Obama likes Islamic terrorists. They all share the same goal: the destruction of America. It is the Freeper and Tea Party types he wants to track down.

Never Again? Seems to be ringing hollow...

I think Never Again meant never again will we track down Islamic terrorists. The Kenyan and his minions have no problem keeping track of you and me.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Never Again was in reference to the Holocaust.

I’d be glad to trade records with Obama.
