Thanks Obama - we really don't like internet freedom anyway!

THIS SICKENS ME!

And yet I find myself dissapointed to witness yet another broken promise.
Not to say I am surprised, no, not in the least - It's actually extremely par for the course he has set, and there is no sign of any "change" of course for this admin.

I just "hope" he doesn't actually understand what he is doing to this country, otherwise we would have to consider it treason.

yeah, that's pretty screwed, but to put it on Obama is bullshit. There aren't any vocal republicans on the side of net neutrality either.

Dear Turtle: You must now pay a $1 UN tax for voicing your opinion on the internet.

So you have gone from a capitalist to a socialist view on this? You support government control of the internet, instead of allowing the owners of the backbone equipment to do what they want with it? Interesting.

I think he's referring to another failed promise. Politicians do that.

Not really sure why you think this is Obama's fault though Turtle.

Uh, the FCC is clearly part of the Executive Branch. And he did make clear promises on the subject.

Truman said it best.

He said he would stand up for the rights of the internet to be free . . . he renegged on his promise.

It sickens me how easily he does that and at what frequency - HOW IN THE HELL can you possibly stand behind someone like that - (Universal You)

He also said he'd repeal DADT. And he did. Yet I don't see you over in that thread cheering him on for keeping his promise.

I had to post a "Good Job Obama" note in the Senators Brown, Collins, Kirk, Murkowki, Snowe and Voinovich ... you're MY heroes today thread so I could post here:

Screw You Obama.

My reality and yours are quite different.

I don't think the gay community is going to give him all that much credit for this one. It did happen...but it seemed to be in spite of him, rather than by his action.

I find it interesting that the right wingers here are now supporting a socialist internet just because Obama supported something different. Heck, if he proposed massive tax cuts, I have no doubt that right wingers here would attack him instantly as fiscally irresponsible.

Keep checking politico and factcheck.org. I'm willing to bet they will mark it as a "Promise kept" because the name of the bill will be something like the "Net Neutrality bill."

As the internet becomes a slave to big business, the Dems will cheer.

Nice spin, but opposition by big businesses like Verizon and AT&T shows it for the ODS lie that it is.

I have the same comment that Billvon had up-thread. It strikes me as odd that you approve of the federal regulation of private industry.

Nope try guessing again.

I certainly did not vote for him, based on his "accomplishments" in the military, business and personal life.

After the 9/11 attacks he had my full support. As an American I wanted to make sure we went after those who had attacked us and eradicate them.


Then he and his buddies went all goat fuck stupid following the wishes of the PNAC New American Century without finishing the job over in that non oil rich country.

I think we have seen how his past performance in life ... worked out for his performance in the Presidency.

[regulator 0]

wow you really impressed me with that last statement. Now I think of you in a different light. And no, I'm not an Obama hater...I would have to know someone first in order to hate them. And I do agree that it was FUCKING RETARDED to go into Iraq and look for Saddam Heussein rather than using lots of bunker busters in Afghanistan and erradicating punk ass Osama Been Hidin. Have a merry christmas Jeannie.

I'm sure you do - birds of a feather and all that.

I have clarified - it is not about agreeing with or disagreeing with the "Internet Rules" being handed down by the corrupt FCC - it is all about "why can't Obama do what he said he was going to do?" Why does he "cave" so much? Where are his OWN standards? Where are his OWN convictions? Why isn't he man enough to standup for what he believes in?

A guy like that . . . why would you support such a sissy?(Universal You again)

Fair enough, so do you agree with his decision or not? Do you think he made the right decision or the wrong decision?

Why do you think that it is beneficial to have somebody in power who never changes his mind?

What do his OWN standards have to do with this? He has been elected to do what is best for the country. I am sure that often those two concepts are not the same. I would prefer somebody in power who decides base don wat is best for the country, not just stubbornly upholds his OWN standards.

>it is not about agreeing with or disagreeing with the "Internet Rules"
>being handed down by the corrupt FCC - it is all about "why can't Obama
>do what he said he was going to do?"

So it's not about the issues, it's about attacking Obama. You've just summed up the entire GOP platform over the past two years.
