President Barack Obama says he is unequivocally committed to keeping the Internet free and open, a concept known as net neutrality.
Net neutrality is the idea that Internet service providers shouldnt block, manipulate or slow data moving across their networks.
Obama credits net neutrality with unleashing the power of the Internet. He says he doesnt want to lose that power or clog up the pipes.

If you like your net neutrality, you can keep your net neutrality, unequivocally. - Barry Soetoro.
Just another brand of redistribution.
I called Obama a slow learner in his first year in office and he’s done nothing to lose that label.
He’s had the world handed to him and knows absolutely nothing about political capital, proportionality, timing, etc.
He and his pie-in-the-sky speechwriters deal exclusively in superlatives: the best, the worst, the fastest, the most efficient, the most historic, etc. etc.
If they believe it they are fools. If they expect others to believe it then they know nothing about salesmanship since all the hype becomes an unintelligible din.
By now, even his most ardent supporters must recognize that any ‘reform’ he proposes is simply more government control by another name. The Net is ALREADY neutral. Getting a corrupt FCC involved would spell practical disaster.
Yeah whatever. Net “neutrality”, as espoused by the communist class (i.e. Democrats), means something entirely different than any sensible person would think.
Well, then he is stupid and doesnot understand the issue. How about he worries about archiving Federal emails first.
When I read it. I read it like President Obama was for Net Neutrality. Thank God he is not. I cannot believe anybody would be for this disaster in the making. If this ever goes through.....anyone who votes for it I will personally try to get rid of them politically. This could be the worst thing ever to happen to the United States of America.
Makes no mention of government doing the same.
Once again hussein comes out as anti-business and in opposition to liberty. All I need to know is the wrong people support this “net neutrality” thing. If hussein is for it, I’m against it. Abolish the FCC! Get the government out of my internet! Allow free enterprise to run it!
Okay. That seals it. I am manifestly against it.
A way to shut up Conservatives ....
He’s lying. He’ll lie about it right up until the time they’re ready to spring their trap.
Why would conservatives support “net neutrality”? It’s a communistic concept.
Of course he is. Just because the AP is spinning his words does not mean the AP is being truthful.
Obama is an ideologue, not a slow learner. His agenda comes first and reality be damned.
Spot on! As proof, hussein allows CAIR and Al-Jazerra to spew their seditious, antisemitic filth all over the WWW. This move by the regime is the first step toward banning Free Republic.
Yeah, it’s hateful to speak against islam ....
This is one issue that I hope he is being direct. I know he lies but this issue is more important than anything he has had to deal with. I hope the Republicans are ready to fight this to their deaths.
That’s right. In its former iteration, it was nothing more or less than an attempt to forcibly bring the quantity of liberal propaganda up to the level of conservative truth.
