[Vision2020] Dems like secret recordings

[Paul Rumelhart]

This was a private fundraiser at a private home in Boca Raton Florida.  There didn't look to be more than a dozen attendees that I could see from the video (not counting the servants, of course).  I'd say he had a reasonable expectation that he wasn't going to be video-taped and uploaded to YouTube.

I would have to think that Obama would say things in such a setting that he wouldn't want uploaded, either.  You speak to your audience, especially when it's supposed to be a closed affair.

If this were in a public venue or was a public event, I wouldn't be talking about ethics in this case.  It doesn't matter to me, anyway, since I'm not voting for either person.  I just don't like how low the bar is in this election.

But should someone have an expectation of privacy when speaking to a large 
group of supporters at a fundraising dinner.  Seems to me this really isn’t 
an “in ones home” issue.

  I 
was going to ask about the ethics of secretly taping a candidate in someone's 
private home when they had a real expectation of privacy, but I didn't want to 
wade through the hatred.  What does Obama say behind closed 
doors?

I 
believe it logical to assume that Democratic Party political campaign operatives 
have over the past three years, at minimum, surreptitiously recorded the 
statements, speeches and informal musings of every American citizen that seemed 
to be potentially a Republican candidate for election to the office of president 
of the United States in the November 2012 general elections.
