Some see this as simply a way to comply with the Presidential Records Act, others remember the who "fishy" incident and see this as a new Big Brother Obama attempt to collect information on individual citizens.
The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) has discovered a secret White House project to harvest personal date from social networking websites like facebook and twitter.
The White House office of New Media has sent out a request for proposals from technology vendors to develop and run the project. According to the proposal request, the information to be captured includes comments, tag lines, emails, audio, and video. The targeted sites include Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr and others – any space where the White House “maintains a presence.” The Proposal requests a bid covers allowing this project to last eight years. MMMM what else does the Obama administration want to last eight years.
Filed as Solicitation # WHO-S-09-0003, the proposal request is posted [1] at FedBizzOps.com. Click here to download a 51-page pdf of the solicitation [2].

Well, I just passed this information on to my email list. Hope it circulates.
Funny, the truth is they're the biggest pack of liars in history.
True to democrat form.
Remember in the movie Braveheart when Mel Gibson and the Scots waived the front of their kilts to the English armies?
Then you get my attitude toward Obama.

UPDATE: Charles W adds, This is not a secret plan. As a RFP (request for proposal) has been issued, the White House is openly pursuing the ability to search, store and track anyone’s web activity. Link has within it a link to the 50-plus page RFP.
UPDATE: It looks like it has started:
