Apparently, what he meant was it applied to you:
The Obama administration is proposing to scale back a long-standing ban on tracking how people use government Internet sites with “cookies” and other technologies, raising alarms among privacy groups.
A two-week public comment period ended Monday on a proposal by the White House Office of Management and Budget to end a ban on federal Internet sites using such technologies and replace it with other privacy safeguards. The current prohibition, in place since 2000, can be waived if an agency head cites a “compelling need.”

Yep, the “Oh, so concerned with privacy Left” intends to violate everyone’s privacy. Of course, you could download FireFox and use that as your default browser. Set it to erase all cookies on closing. And close your browser every time you visit a .gov site.
Or better, make a list of the .gov sites you do visit, visit those you need to visit today, and then kill the .gov cookies in one swell foop. Hopefully making the BamaBots think you never visit anything but .gov sites.
And if you are as suspicious as I am – buy a copy of SysTweak and run the disk cleanup program daily to get rid of the ones FireFox cannot. That even got rid of one that SpySweeper could not.
