A fox named Obama

Ma - Where's the shotgun?

From the people who just put your health records on line; worried about privacy?  Sniff  around Lassie, what do you smell? 
The Obama administration is preparing a stepped-up approach to policing Internet privacy that calls for new laws and the creation of a new position to oversee the effort, according to people familiar with the situation.  The White House task force, set up three weeks ago, is led by Cameron Kerry, the brother of Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.) 
  Did you know that Mr. Medals had a brother?  Is he some Ruprecht-likeRuprecht Kerry  personality that emerges from Kerry when a good scam is on? Like Kerry the war hero?
The initiatives would mark a turning point in Internet policy. Recent administrations typically steered away from Internet regulations out of concern for stifling innovation.
Recent administrations not named Obama.  Of course this is a huge problem, but one that the private sector ought be allowed to deal with, especially since it's government that's behind the most egregious intrusions into our privacy.  If this was a movie, it would be at this point where John Wayne spits and says "That'll be the day."  Shooting begins shortly after.
