Government Reportedly Storing Comments on Social Networking Pages
Because the Act applies specifically to public comments "received by the President or the immediate staff," it's still not clear as to exactly what information, posted by whom, would be susceptible to monitoring. All of the aforementioned are third-party sites, after all. Although some folks, possibly in hopes of inspiring vitriol and paranoia, may suggest that a nefarious Obama is hiding in a dark room crawling through everyone's profiles, the monitoring of the sites is being carried out by a private contractor. Hopefully, some form of congressional oversight committee will be created and more details will emerge soon. Until then, stay tuned, and watch what you say on that White House page.

I'm not a bit surprised at this investigative action taken by this administration. There is so much paranoia going around - it shows a total lack of confidence. Things like this started in the Bush administration and is being followed by this new one. There is no longer trust of the government by the people, due to actions like this. It's too bad, for they need to strengthen the trust of the people - not create more mistrust in government. This only displays a dictatorship mentality, which the American people will not tolerate.

The title should have read, "Government Reportedly Storing Comments on Social Networking Pages... Suprising Absolutely No One"
They're recording our phone calls and intercepting our emails... why would they not store our blogs? Yawn.
Seriously. If I were going to plot against our government, it's going to be done with pen and paper. Anyone who tries otherwise, luckily for Americans, will have their communication intercepted.

Actually, Margo, careful reading notes that this started in The Presidential Records Act of 1978. To the best of my recall, W. was not the president until 2000. So it was not started in his term. Try reading more closely. This actually occurred during the democratic term of Jimmy Carter. We have enough foolish invective and knee-jerk responses from both parties without this sort of ignorance being propogated.

There are tons of laws on the books like this dating back before WW II, just depends on who is in office and whether they choose to do things under those laws.

RECORD THIS. BIG GOVERNMENT NEED TO BEWARE OF ANGRY TAXPAYERS. GOVERNMENT NEED READ WHATS ON OUR MINDS, NOT JUST STORING INFORMATION. GOVERNMENT CAN LEARN A LOT FROM WHATS ON OUR MINDS. WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK. DONT MESS WITH OUR CONSTITUTION. I VOLUNTEERED FOR THE MILITARY DURING 'NAM WHEN MANY WERE AVOIDING THE DRAFT. FOR MY SERVICE, ALL I GET IS A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT. ACCORN MUST GO, OBAMA MUST GO. PELOSI AND OTHER EXTREMIST DEMOCRATS MUST GO. OBAMA, PULL THIS COUNTRY TOGETHER OR GET OUT OF POLITICS AND SHOW US YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE. WE NEED A LEADER, NOT A PUPPET IN THE WHITEHOUSE. I VOTED FOR RON PAUL.
