You know what I want?

[Th1onein]

I want every private conversation, email, text, etc., between Obama and his family, friends, etc., posted to a public forum. That's what I want. If he has nothing to hide, then why should he worry?

[RobertEarl]

1. that doesn't go far enough

Every elected official should have all their emails introduced into the public record.

[cherokeeprogressive]

3. I'd like to read each and every one of Richard Windsor's emails. n/t

[RobertEarl]

7. Who is Windsor?

Did I miss something?

_______
Whoosh
My head

[cherokeeprogressive]

9. He's the fake email address made up by the previous EPA Administrator, Lisa Jackson.

She used a fake email address to do official agency business and correspond with environmental groups. Transparency? My ass.

[Th1onein]

8. I agree.

Absolutely. I want it ALL, as long as it's private, and doesn't have anything to do with their efforts against "terrorism."

I want it ALL. Just like they have all of mine; I want all of theirs.

[RobertEarl]

12. All or none

The way it is they can see all of ours but we can't see theirs? That's not right.

Actually, many of them in their gangs are known to have screwed the US. They are the ones the spies should be watching. Not you. You have no power relative to theirs.

35. According to NSA whistleblower Russell Tice, the NSA (while under Cheney's control) began

wiretapping Obama in 2004. It's not entirely outside the realm of possibility that Cheney's goons somehow got the drop on Obama and have been turning the screws ever since. Explains a lot of otherwise inexplicable policies and appointments. Don't know how one would prove (or disprove) it though, so I see it as a conspiracy theory at this point.

2. You know what I want?

I want the right to privacy. Period.

For example, I don't want my for-profit insurance company to offer a "discount" if I give them private medical information. And I don't want my employer saying that this year it's "voluntary," but next year it will probably be mandatory.

Privacy. That's what I want, and I include emails, phone calls, texts, and just taking a walk in a public place in that protected space.

[woo me with science]

21. [phone]

Thank you. That's what I want, too.

[millennialmax]

4. That would require new laws, then, because that kind of info is not being collected. eom

[Th1onein]

5. That's a lie.

It's been proven to be a lie.

Go forth, educate thyself.

22. Check out their profile --

All will be explained. Reinforcements have been called in to get us in line.

[darkangel218]

29. Recycled ones

[Hell Hath No Fury]

30. Generally, yes -

I love the noobs with a hundred posts in 3 days who magically know everything about DU, the posters, and DU memes.

[darkangel218]

32. I have a feeling we're going to need a lot of coffee beans and brewers in the next few weeks

[Paulie]

6. I'd like my very own

Unicorn.

[Cleita]

10. I understand your point and it's a very valid one,

however, the POTUS and his family are in more danger of having violence done to them than the rest of us, so I will disagree with you on this. They need to keep their private lives separate from their public lives more so than most of us. Would be assassins and kidnappers can't know their every move and thought.

[Th1onein]

11. Tough shit.

Maybe I could give a speech and make him more comfortable with losing his privacy. You know?

[millennialmax]

13. Good luck with that.

[Th1onein]

14. Now, let's see.........WHAT could POSSIBLY be the point of your post?

Uh......could you be trying to run up your post count? Hmmmm? OR, could you be trying to disrupt? Or both?

Welcome to my Ignore list.

On Edit: Oops, put the wrong name. Or DID I?

[morningfog]

16. Welcome back!

Off to a rollicking start.

[darkangel218]

20. Will it end the same as the last one?

Perheps we should take bets on it

[morningfog]

24. It is only a question of when, not if.

[darkangel218]

25. Good point

[morningfog]

41. That's a wrap!

[darkangel218]

44. Yes indeed.

Elvis has left the building.

For now, anyway.

[woo me with science]

15. That actually came up in conversation with some people the other night.

It was suggested that Anonymous might consider this a good project, to work on exposing the emails and other private business of every politician who actively supports the surveillance state that destroys OUR privacy.

And it makes me angry that the mere *existence* of the surveillance state made me hesitate, if only for a moment, about posting this passing, purely frivolous and hypothetical dinner conversation here.

They have no right to do this to us.

[whttevrr]

37. I am surprised no one is calling you paranoid...

As I was told here "In a democracy, the law should never be secret."

[darkangel218]

17. Two wrongs dont make a right.

I would just appreciate if they gave us the privacy we deserve.

[Th1onein]

18. Maybe they'd value our privacy a little more once they found out how it feels to lose theirs.

[darkangel218]

19. True that.

[rurallib]

23. I want every conversation between a lobbyist and a legislator

recorded with a reporter present.
I have proposed this before.
In the day of ALEC we need to know who is talking to our legislators about what.

[Cleita]

39. This I could support. nt

[snappyturtle]

26. I think he covered that in his first executive order...no access.

[msanthrope]

27. Really? You want to read Sasha and Malia's private stuff? Why on earth would you want that? nt

[darkangel218]

34. The OP doesnt want that.

He's just trying to make a point.

[msanthrope]

36. Indeed. "Trying" being the operative word. nt

[darkangel218]

38. He is actually succeeding plenty.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

40. Welcome to my Ignore list, msanthrope.

[Egnever]

45. Wow you are easy

your list must be enormous!

[hrmjustin]

28. Not a good idea iMO.

[JVS]

31. That sounds fair.

[Life Long Dem]

33. Only if he is talking to a terrorist in a foreign land

42. So tell me what you want, what you really, really want

Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah

If you want my future, delete my past
If you wanna spy on me, better make it fast
Now don't go wasting my precious time
Get your act together we could be just fine

I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah
If you wanna be my leader, you gotta drop surveliance
(Gotta drop surveliance)
Make trust last forever, data never ends
If you wanna be my leader, you have got to give
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is

Oh, what do you think about that
Now you know how I feel
Say, you can handle my trust, are you for real
(Are you for real)
I won't be hasty, I'll give you a try
If you really bug me then I'll say goodbye

[Demo_Chris]

43. Add to this the...

Emails, phone, and internet activity of every person they have ever had an contact with, and all the contacts of those people as well.

I want every website and photo they viewed and how long they viewed it. Every phone call they made and when and how long they talked. Every private message, every text, every email, every photo they shared and every facebook comment they liked. Every credit card transaction, what they bought and when they bought it.

Obviously I won't get that stuff because it's private. It's only NOT private when it's the little people like you and me, the people who are supposed to be protected from this by the constitution Obama swore to uphold and defend.

[Th1onein]

46. Obviously, I won't get that stuff because it's private. It's only NOT private when it's the little

people.

GREAT ANALOGY!
