President Obama is putting plans in motion to give the Commerce Department authority to create an Internet ID for all Americans, a White House official told CNET.com.

White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt told the website it is "the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government" to centralize efforts toward creating an "identity ecosystem" for the Internet.

I have an Internet I.D. already.Its whatever I decide at the moment.

I don’t need the Federal or State Government sticking its nose into my Business.

What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy, and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities," Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said ...

Commerce Secretary Locke has just revealed himself to be a moron-in-training. If he studies very hard, he can work his way up to moron. I guess Locke has never googled "LastPass" or "One Password". Perhaps he has not yet heard of Google. His statements are dangerously stupid.

But, the Communist is moving to prevent Voter I.D.
Even Hugo Chavez isn’t this stupid.

Ping!

pingerooski for tech stuff...

I’m thinking of just sending my screen id, password, and banking information directly to the Russian Mafia. It cuts out the middleman and they want less of my money than the feds do.

yeah just like the TSA won’t store nude images of people going through the scanners...

The government has no credibility and has no business being in our lives...

Ben Franklin had it down...MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!

This is but one of the reasons why Obama must not be re-elected. To do so will give him a dictatorship because he will ignore Congress and the Constitution. He is showing you now what he will do in the future.

Do not let him have this power.

[Marathoner]

What the he#l is it going to take to get someone, ANYONE, in the GOP to speak out against this dictator and at least give lip service to defending the Constitution?

Does ANYONE up there not have a set anymore?

Social Security number was just that, a number. Now it’s your tax ID number and all sorts of government ID number. Government ID number/name now? How many John Smith’s are out there? Something like: LOGIN ID: JohnSmith266521646656510606561
6654+2

Let me see if I got this right...

This doofus is a member of the regime that deem voter ID an intrusion in citizens' rights to privacy and a violation of their rights?

But having a mandatory federal ID to use the internet is totally harmless?

In what universe?

Schmidt stresses that anonymity will remain on the Internet, saying there's no chance that "a centralized database will emerge."

This guyd Schmidt is a genuine idiot, isn't he.
Like the firearms registrations database...?

Let's propose an AIDS federal registry first.

"Don’t worry, this will not happen as long as the Republicans control the House and have almost 50 members in the Senate."

As with so many other unconstitutional, anti-American laws for thieves, they'll never repeal it but will continue promising bits of future freedom for being voted in every time. All the while, they will support your local socialists (those describing themselves as emergency-rescue-safety-inspection-education-planning conservatives).

In the early days of the Internet there was a popular phrase: "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog." Apparently, Obama is unhappy with that situation which, more or less, remains in place today. And it may last a little while longer and then you "dogs" better start watching your step. No more of that crazy criticizing of the Dems and the Government.

We’re not trying to create a national ID card; we’re just trying to create a system wherein the federal government becomes aware of every web site you visit.

[Twinkie]

Isn’t it in the “right hand” or “forehead”?

[Mortrey]

Are they going to make this part of SOPA?
Seems the very people that are upset by the piracy software actually DISTRIBUTED the software!!!!
