Does Obama privacy push have oomph?

President Barack Obama’s rollout of privacy and data security policies offered big promises to protect consumer information online, but the reality is his legislative ideas are a long shot in Congress and his voluntary industry initiatives lack enforcement teeth.

The package of proposals -- including a data-breach notification law and a privacy bill of rights -- are mostly a rehash of previous administration proposals. While some lawmakers have expressed interest in data breach and student privacy bills, such legislation has made little progress in the past. Congress has even less enthusiasm for the base-line privacy bill that President Obama says he will release soon.
