Is this the the 'change' they wanted?

[ExTexasRedhead]

Welcome to the American dictatorship.

Why are you asking us? Ask Al Gore - he invented it, so wouldn’t it be his to give away?

Should President Obama Control The Internet?

Should President Bush Have Controlled The Internet?

The obvious answer -- regardless of who's in the executive office -- should be a big, fat NO.

[Obadiah]

YES! President Obama should control everything! We owe our very lives to President Obama.

[PhiKapMom]

Heck the fraud shouldn’t even be controlling ANYTHING in the Federal Government. As far as I am concerned he is a fraud until he quits stalling and opens his own records — long form birth certificate, college records, and passport records.

Rick Moran says this would be fine. What’s the worry?

[DannyTN]

If government ever does cease control and censure the internet, then we need plans for the undernet.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Free exchange of thoughts and ideas is not compatible with the new America. The people are going to be told by the government what they can think or say. We will be told that we can say anything we like, we just aren't allowed to say anything we don't like.

See "1984" by George Orwell.

Should President Obama Control The Internet?

Oh heck ya, what could go wrong?

[mrsixpack36]

He would probably have to get permission from the internet’s inventor. I think AL would rather have control.

[Vaquero]

should the POSOTUS (yes I said POSOTUS) control anything.

that traitorous dhimmi bastage needs round nose scissors and a rubber room for his own safety, let alone be allowed to control anything American....

[ExTexasRedhead]

That’s what ObamaCare is all about. He wants to control your life and your death too. His henchmen in the Congress are groveling to obey his orders.

[samtheman]

It will be goodbye FR, that’s for sure.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

There is no “internet.” There is no central location or entity that is the “internet.” The internet is the name given to the ability to access another computer from one’s computer, and to exchange data, web pages, pictures and files.
Controlling the “internet” really means controlling the free exchange of speech.
The internet is only a means of connecting computers. It can not be controlled by a government entity. That would be like the government going into the telephone company switching stations and fooling around with the wires and connections.
What they really want to do, and it is their intention, is to control the free exchange of ideas between individuals.
And that is illegal and unconstitutional.

President Obama who the hell is that?? some Kenyan toy chief in a mud hut?

[DesertRhino]

What the hell,,,Why not? Lets just swear him in as president for life and be done with it! I was listening to that Allman Bros song the other day, the one about feeling like he’s “tied to the whipping post”.

I never knew it was a political song until Obama came along.
