And I know lots of people here are naturally suspicious of anything Obama does, but net neutrality is a concept that’s existed long before anyone had the foggiest idea who he was. In other words, it wasn’t his idea, he’s just jumping on a bandwagon.

And there is a point that needs to be made in these threads. The number of people here whose entire sum of knowledge on the subject consists of "Obama is for it" and that they saw someone say 'net neutrality' in the same paragraph as 'Fairness Doctrine' is disheartening to me. Press them on the issue and they fall back on "All government regulation is always evil".

sigh.

Yep. If the guvmint in general or Obama in particular said "Don't spit on soldiers", they would immediately run to the nearest Army base looking for a soldier to spit on.
