 [For the purposes of this paper I will be assuming the stance taken in this position paper: http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/issues/technology/Fact_Sheet_Innovation_and_Technology.pdf are true. All quotes are directly from the paper. Feel free to comment on any changes that may have been suggested more recently, but for a short paper I think it makes more sense to have a single solid policy statement to comment on.]

  • Commenting on campaign position papers is usually useless even during a campaign. Reading once quickly shows which constituencies the campaign considers it must pander to, and all issues of how to compromise among the competing positions then taken are of course postponed.

  • Here you take the additional step of observing, as one can, that every measure to expand use of data about citizens in government raises privacy concerns. Reiterating the concerns at each locus is merely repetitive, however--the issue is what the systemic policies are, and on this point you are more concerned to reject the campaign's statements than to inquire what, in the world of nuanced phoniness that is campaign rhetoric, they actually meant.
