It's like parental control software except he is the parent and he has it installed on the main Internet hub in Al Gore's basement so he can control everyones experience......

He wants an Internet kill switch. He wants to be able to "turn off the Internet" in case of a terrorist attack. Pretty much, he wants the ability to turn off the Internet backbone in the US at the router/switch level (the stuff owned by the telcos).

Which is stupid as shit. Each individual owner of each computer or router is already taking care of his own property.

If China has shown Obama anything, it's that it's easier to control the people if you control the flow of information. Which is why he's so keen on telling the news agencies what to do and now wants the ability to turn off the Internet in the US.

Why not go to Canada? They have the best citizen privacy laws in the world.

Here's an article on anti-war.com. It's a site highly critical of Bush and very left leaning. I chose this site so that you know it's not spin by a far right group.

And I quote:

"The bill amounts to a remarkable claim of presidential power, claiming a large portion of the global economy as a specific asset of the United States and further claiming the right to nationalize or destroy it in whole or part on a whim."

So there's the change that everyone believed in...

Way too damn cold up there! I also don't like how strict they are with supplements and drugs in Canada.

My wife and I have always talked about moving to Mexico, we just love it down there, in fact we just spent 7 days there last week in Playa Del Carmen and started talking about it again, I told her I would think about it in about 5 years....it could end up being a lot sooner!

I guess the bill of rights is important after all. why don't americans understand that every time the government gets involved to control something they mess it up?

At least the Supreme Court is letting us stay armed so we can shoot these bastards when they come for our other rights and start over when we need to.

I love the way all the Obama supporters of a couple years ago are bashing him now.

Really? You are surprised by what he has done?

WE FUCKING TOLD YOU exactly what he would do before the elections. Government spending, retarded government control... but you wouldn't believe us so you voted him in and now act you had no warning about who you were voting in.

This is a big fucking, told ya so.

I think I'd go to South Korea first. The average citizen has a 25MBps internet speed!! I've got 5MBps

Plus Korean girls are HOT

Seems to me a certain Mr. Somebody watched Eagle Eye and thought he should be able to prevent something like that with a big red button.....

Lets all go bang on the whitehouse door with pitch forks and flameing 2x4 and run him back to whatever shit hole he came from

Yeah, I voted for him, and yeah I am deeply disappointed. However, I am going to steal a play out of the Bush voter's playbook and say I think McCain/Palin would have done a much worse job.

That's hard to say for sure. He might have surprised you. We will never know.

The choices the American people have been given definitely suck though.

I didn't vote for either one... oh wait, I can't. I'm a Canadian

And you'd be wrong for one simple fact: it would have divided power in the government. They (politicians) would have been able to do less.

My little cousin voted for Obama and then moved to Mexico. Little bastard. We are still very close despite this insanely assholish behavior and he loves it down there. He lives on the Yucatan peninsula somewhere. He lived there for a year before he got a job. Called me to tell me he got hired as an English teacher. I asked him what his salary was and he honest to God told me "I dunno. Fuck man, I lived down here for a year on three grand and had a blast. Salary really doesnt mean much".

He signed his email "Your retired at 23 cousin". All he does is send me pics of pretty girls and parties. Sounds pretty good eh?

Although this is always a good thing (Splitting the power). Let's hope some of that happens in Nov.

There is no doubt in my mind the power will be split in Nov

Like Neal said, there is no way of knowing. But, you are right on the fact that we want the government in a dead lock so they can't do a whole lot of damage.
