I notice one weird thing for 2 days now. Getting on many conservative sites with high Alexa ratings is slightly difficult. Including this site Free republic. I asked a few friends to try as well and I tried from my home in Long Island and from my NYC office and loading takes a very very long time. I bet many people leave because of it so my question is can Obama be doing it? Could he be testing some internet filter to suppress Free republic and other sites of a right wing nature? Just a thought...

That is a scary thought. Hopefully not the case.

You can check to see what servers your traffic routes through by typing “tracert freerepublic.com” at the command prompt of a Windows system.

Freerepublic was down for a period of time the weekend before last, and again this past weekend. Seems to be happening on weekends with some frequency. Who would we ask on Freerepublic about these occurrences?

I agree with the “it’s taking a long time” on FreeRepublic. I just tried to get on Foxnews and the same thing. I think there’s something to what you’re saying....IMHO!

Not just getting access here, but posting comments. For example just waiting for the post screen to get loaded I was able to get almost halfway thru writing a grocery list. But it's not like that on OTHER sites. I don't know if I'd give OBOZO credit for this, MAYBE it can be explained in a more positive light? Maybe FR is getting a ton more hits than normal from outside and the bandwidth is getting sluggish? I'm not a tech guy just a guess. Pinging other folks for an opinion.
