Maureen Dowd calls Obama 'our Big Brother

Another one from New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, writing on recent reports that the federal government has been collecting data about U.S. citizens from online web sites like Facebook and Google:

Obama was in California on Friday to meet the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, who could have offered some technical assistance on Internet prying. (NBC’s Mike Isikoff reported that the Chinese hacked into the Obama and McCain campaign computers in 2008.) Certainly, it was tricky for our Big Brother to chide Xi about China’s cyberhacking in America.
