Obama Ramps Up the Fishing

Evidently not content with the his minions' tattling production in his 'Rat on your Neighbor' program, President Hope 'n' Change orders another project to collect data on his subjects; and this time he has those dirty rightwing Fascists (oxymoronic phrase, I know), those people who make lefties shake with rage, the ACLU up in arms! Reversing a policy in place the last 9 years (you know, during evil Chimpy McHaliburton's reign), the Obama administration issued a directive to

reverse current federal policy and allow the use of web tracking technologies, like cookies, on federal government websites


That is, gather data on those who visit Federal websites. So, don't think about getting those federal transcripts unless you want Big Brother Barry tracking you! I know we here at RTP are always visiting wacko right wing conspiracy websites to get our crazy ideas, and the ACLU is no different. Here's more from those crazies ranting against the administration of Hope & Change:
“This is a sea change in government privacy policy,” said Michael Macleod-Ball, Acting Director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. “Without explaining this reversal of policy, the OMB is seeking to allow the mass collection of personal information of every user of a federal government website. Until the OMB answers the multitude of questions surrounding this policy shift, we will continue to raise our strenuous objections.”

Gosh those crazy guys. As deluded as RTP regarding the Obama administration's 1984-style efforts to monitor its citizens.
