In a 20-page white paper (PDF), the Obama administration called on the U.S. Congress to fix “deficiencies that could hinder enforcement” of intellectual property laws. Victoria Espinel, the first Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator, with Vice President [...] Just look at all his “CZARS” that do not have to pass Senate confirmation or FBI background checks. And this is just a drop in a super sized bucket. The MSM still spins this guy well. INCREDIBLE.
