That page is silly. Take “Safeguard the right to privacy”
The Promise: “Will strengthen privacy protections for the digital age and will harness the power of technology to hold government and business accountable for violations of personal privacy.”
Update November 18th, 2016: FCC limits broadband providers use of personal data
The fact that there’s a tiny regulation that protect privacy in a limit scope doesn’t change that the Obama administration fights privacy enough that it sued Apple to provide less privacy by asking them to destroy their own security.
“From both a moral standpoint and a practical standpoint, torture is wrong. Barack Obama will end the use torture without exception.”
Politcheck says Obama ended torture when the United Nations still said that the US engages in cruel and unusual punishment for a political dissident. There are exceptions where his administration still tortured.
Obama could have made the symbolic move of pardoning the individual when his administration tortures to signal that he isn’t okay with it, but he didn’t dare to create any consequences.
Obama also didn’t act to produce structural changes to make it easier for the public to know the extend of US torture.
Even more silly is to say that Obama uphold the promise:
“I’ll put in place the common-sense regulations and rules of the road I’ve been calling for since March—rules that will keep our market free, fair, and honest; rules that will restore accountability and responsibility in our corporate boardrooms.”
Obama staffed his administration with Citibank chairman Robert Rubin network. Then he put Eric Holder in charge of the justice department who managed to charge less bankers with crimes then the Bush administration. Even bankers who laundered billions of drug and terrorist money went free because the Obama administration wasn’t interested in charging them personally.
Eric Holder was a corporate lawyer. Before he went in the Obama administration he fought for corporate interests. While he was in it, his law firm didn’t even put another lawyer in his office and hold his office open. A nice symbolic gesture to suggest that Holder still effectively works for the firm. He did do a lot to make corporations happy by settling with them cases outside of the public eye. Afterwards he went right back to working for the law firm.
