ParticipantThe White House is collecting and storing comments and videos placed on its social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube
[/quote]
When my friends post comments to my Facebook page, I don’t archive their posts. Do you? Do you even have that capability? Why does the White House have the capability to archive posts on Facebook that other users do not? And if you DID have this capability, wouldn’t you let your friends know, “Hey, by the way, I plan to collect all the information you send my way.” I would immediately wonder, “Why do you need to do that?”
[/quote]
Of course they are archived. You can go back from the time you opened your account and see what anyone has written. Sure you can delete your comments, but you can always copy it, post it yourself and then no one can touch it.
Would I do this to a person who told me about their pizza lunch? Probably not. If anyone ever wrote something derogatory or threatening I would probably save it.
If I had ever written to the WH under GW or wrote on the WH FB page you better believe I know that it would be archived indefinitely.
Maybe I’m only seeing what I want to see with your post, but I really don’t get your surprise and irritation.
The internet is not private- even your own e-mail accounts aren’t private. Hell, even your phone calls aren’t private anymore. I’m pretty sure two cans tied together with strings are private though.

ParticipantThis is idiotic, to even consider this is news.
Someone goes to Obama’s face book page and writes something – anything – and then complains that Obama keeps it without telling him he’s keeping it? What on earth would make someone, anyone, think that when you post something in public about someone else, on the internet, that it doesn’t automatically become a matter of public record?
It should be assumed that when you write on my wall, that I’m going to keep it. That I haven’t specifically told you that I’m going to keep it, only makes you the sucker if you didn’t think that was happening in the first place. This is nothing more than another way to try to characterize BO in a negative light. When there are so many legitimate things to discuss, this is what the WashTimes comes up with? Lame :rolleyes:

Guest[quote=sobmaz]Why do you think liberals were jumping up and down when Governmental powers were expanded at an alarming rate during the Bush Admin?? All in the name of fighting Terrorism. The Patriot Act, Warrantless wiretaps and on and on and on.
Liberals were called unpatriotic for standing up to the expansion of powers.
Government NEVER gives up power, never, and is forever trying to slowly expand it’s powers. Now and then the Government is able to expand in leaps and bounds and that happened under the last admin.
What we found during the Bush Admin was 100% support from Republicans for the expansion along with support from Conservatives.
As Obama has embraced the expansion of powers (that Bush started) he too is doing his part in trying to expand the Governments powers even more.
[/quote]The Republicans wanted and Imperial Presidency. They got what they wanted. Now they are complaining because their man is not in power. Tough luck. Live with what you created.
And why should Obama give up the expanded presidential powers that were handed to him on a silver platter? If I were Obama, I would use those powers to my advantage.
