The only thing that bothers me is that this total informant thing is a one-way street. Ubama gets to know everything about us, but we get to know nothing about him, like his publisher's press release saying he was born in Kenya, or all those social security numbers he has used, or where he was during the time he was ostensibly attending Columbia University, or why a Saudi prince pulled strings to get him into Harvard law school.
Tell us a few things about yourself, Barry, and we won't feel so screwed--blue and tattooed.
The best part about the loss of privacy — from a Democrat-electoral standpoint — is that you have a ready supply of dirt on all your political operatives. You needn’t even lift a finger! Some politically-motivated hack buried in one of these alphabet-soup agencies will simply dial-up the relevant database and collate every known fact about Republican Candidate X, then leak it to a sympathetic “journalist” (read pro-Dem hack with a Public Policy degree) who will plaster it complete with innuendo on the commentary page.
I remember some lemming from Ohio’s bureaucracy trolled through Joe-the-Plumber’s background simply because he had the temerity to ask Obama a difficult question, and in so doing made the Messiah look bad.
Then you had the son of some Democrat politician who hacked Sarah Palin’s personal email account.
Now that was tame stuff compared to the Magnum Loads they’ll be firing in the coming election cycles.
