The White House mocked GOP nominee Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz for trying to prevent the Commerce Department from transferring technical oversight of the Internet to an international body.
"It doesn't withstand scrutiny," President Obama's spokesman Josh Earnest said on Thursday.
"It also strikes me as a curious position for a self-described small government conservative to shut down the government to ensure that the federal government can continue to control the Internet," Earnest said of Cruz. "It doesn't make any sense."
Cruz is trying to stop the multi-year transition that will leave the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers in control of things such as naming Internet domains, by attaching a provision to a must-pass package that would keep the government funded past the Oct. 1 start of the new fiscal year.

Since when has this administration ever moved towards smaller, limited government?

Oh sure Bronco Bama, now you want itty bitty gummit.

EXCLUSIVE: Obama/Clinton Secret Operation Handed Port Canaveral To Brother/Business Partner Of Saddam Hussein’s Nuclear Bomb Mastermind; Submarine And Space Bases In Grave Danger – The American Report
September 22, 2016
“After an apparent Clinton pay-to-play operation, Barack Hussein Obama administration officials handed over control of Port Canaveral’s cargo container operations to the brother of Saddam Hussein’s chief WMD nuclear physicist, Dr. Jafar Dhia Jafar.
Port Canaveral is home to a U.S. Navy submarine base and sits within the nexus of U.S. Air Force and NASA space operations. Canaveral is also the second largest cruise ship port in the world.
The “secretly-negotiated” 2014 backroom deal, code named “Project Pelican,” covertly awarded the Crescent Group’s GT USA LLC a 35-year container terminal lease at Port Canaveral. GT USA is owned by Gulftainer Company Limited, a unit of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based Crescent Group of Companies.
Crescent Petroleum, another Crescent Group affiliate, came under investigation in 1993 by the U.S. Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control and three House of Representatives committees (Foreign Affairs, Banking, and Ways and Means) to determine if Crescent Petroleum, the “privately owned” oil and gas company, was a “front company acting for Saddam Hussein,” according to The Independent and congressional records.”
Traitors need hanging.
A foreign entity being in charge of ICANN is not going to work out well for America.
Like letting Hitler have western europe is ‘limited government’.
It's like arguing that limited government does not defend private property rights. No government at all is certainly limited government to the extreme. But we did not adopt anarchy. We adopted a constitutional republic.
I am not up to date on this issue-— If Obama transfers control, then it is possible that the net could be censored by foreign countries?
I think that’s the point of it.
