President Obama urged the US government to adopt tighter regulations on broadband service in an effort to preserve "a free and open Internet."

So regulation is required to create freedom and openness?

Reading Obama rhetoric makes me feel like a native American trying to understand what went wrong with the Indian treaties...

The undocumented traitor Obola ALWAYS lies,
such as:

“If you like your internet provider, you can keep it.”

Owebama just isn’t believable anymore. Nothing he says can be taken at face value.
He lies!

Only a Marxist thinks that more government regulations makes anything more free.

Utility usage is a *public document*.

Here we go again. As someone has already posted, “If you like your internet you can keep your internet.” I mean why should we ever doubt Barry again after his great success and honesty in reforming health care?

They were talking on some news show that they are going to impose a 16% tax on broadband. It don’t get much freer than that. Is there any truth to that?

Net Neutrality will be to the internet what the Affordable Care Act was to affordable healthcare.

Regardless, one still has to pay for the use of a utility. No reason for the govt to intervene.

This is Obama’s latest assault on freedom.

Once control is seized it will be exercised to ensure “fairness” for various “communities”.

Recall the FCC’s “Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs” scheme to embed government researchers in newsrooms to collect information and to score the organization on their point of view, news topic selection, management style and other “qualitative” factors.

I hate to sathis but Obama is right on this one. And this is not new regulation, it’s the current rule, established long before Obama was president. The internet providers are pushing to make you pay more to get the services you want.

"in an effort to preserve a free and open internet"

"Free" and "Open" are two concepts that do not apply to the current administration. Not buying this.

Obviously he has polling data that says Millenials stayed home because they were PO-ed at him for playing footsie with this.

Obama should regulate his damn mouth and recognize he is basically an Administrator and not a legislator. If he wanted to enact laws he should have stayed in Congress.
