Do believe this Orwellian Slant? - Obama collecting personal data for a secret race database....

This is big data... Nothing more. All of this data exists somewhere in some form, whether it's credit checks, voter registration, tax records, etc. It's used to determine average income of every county in the United States, the racial, economic, and religious demographics. This data has been collected through social media, car registrations, and online credit applications with our consent for over 10 years now. Our children's grades in schools and their standardized test scores.

This information is a powerful tool, for good and bad. And it doesn't exist solely at the discretion of the CinC. Every major corporation has access to it as well, whether it is American or multinational. Which means all that data on America is available to anyone willing to pay the data miners for it. So, how about we stop laying this at the feet of the POTUS with half-assed trash journalism and biased op-ed pieces. It isn't his fault the French know how many meninist and white separatist sites you visit every week. Blame Bloomberg.com

"All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others." --couldn't have said it better, Mr. Orwell.

I'm thinking something along the lines of a wolf in sheep clothing. Our POTUS has used race as a weapon and it seems he wants to leave a legacy of racial upheaval behind him. I wonder where the motivation for this comes from. Is it stemming from the days he worked in Chicago as a Community organizer before law school or does it stem from somewhere else? If this is true it could lead to poor precedence being set from this time forward. Personally I don't want them to collect that kind of data on me, I'd rather opt out and let them focus on whoever else they want to keep records on.
