Obama: Firmly Committed to Net Neutrality

[boogiebuddy01]

live what u believe

[notessimodude]

QUESTION: Why don't presidents just reject bills with extreme porkbarreling on them and then just make some sort of announcement about it later? Citizens don't know about the tiny parts of the bill senators add on for their state to get elected again, thus making them more money. THEN the people get information that the president rejected a bill when really he was rejecting the porkbarrel. What we need in 2012 is another Kennedy, Reagan, or Roosevelt.

[mistertoys]

The ruling last month proved more lies!

[mistertoys]

More lies!

[inbetweentics]

WE.WILL.SEEEEE

just how COMMITTED this puppet is..

[hardstyle905]

lying piecve of shit

[crazyduplicate]

Obama has created a Dystopia, that is worst-er than: 1984, Brave new world, Fahrenheit 451, A Clockwork orange, A Scanner Darkly, Do Androids dream of electric sheep?, Soylent green, Metropolis, Logan's Run, and V For Vendetta.

[MissNayNay]

Obama is a LIAR!!! He let this shit pass.

[pigurine]

NWO on the way. Illumanati are behind all of this Zionist global control

[pigurine]

NWO on the way.

[oximoronTV]

LYING SCUMBAG

[DJMarcO138]

Too bad the fucker lied to us all. FAIL. Giant FAIL. "Yes we CAN (act just like the Bush regime!)"

[victoriawolf1988]

obama = fail. you fking liar.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

Liar. He is pro business. Pro bailouts.

[bluelite7x]

Anyone who thinks that governmental broadband isn't about control is an utter retard. Nuff said

[GMirk22]

Barry Soetoro (aka barack obama) has to be the best liar on this planet ...... if not the universe. This guy is classic.

[karzwell]

lol Obama tells us what we wanna hear... but does the opposite. He doesn't call the shots.. puppet

[jsjs525]

hmmm..... bullshit....

which is also why he's in support of the bill that would give him the kill-switch for the internet....looks like Bush is back in town... this Fu@k!ng Shill is just as bad as McCain would have been and is fitting nicely into Bush's shoes trying to live up to the the royal Fuckups that Clinton and Bush Sr. were..... but hey, he speaks extremely well when he's reading from the teleprompters that he inherited from lil'Bush....

[Darian9999]

@jsjs525 You all know what the kill switch for the internet is for right? Look what happened in Egypt, if they had internet kill switch there would not of been a revolution. Just saying.

[jsjs525]

@Darian9999

Are you talking to me or everyone else man.... Because it's hard to tell by your words... the kill-switch for the internet which is already in place would allow the current or following president to pull the plug on all the ISP's in the country preventing the masses from communicating through the internet medium. This 'net neutrality' is the floating excuse used to support the need for the kill-switch

[Darian9999]

@jsjs525 Yep, however I wasn't aware that the motion for the 'kill-switch' went through...

[jsjs525]

@Darian9999

Maybe I wrote it wrong allowing it to be misunderstood, it still hasn't gone through Congress as of yet, it has passed the House and is currently placed on the Senate Calendar.... What I had meant by what I wrote was that all the elements involved to allow it to be implemented nationwide are currently in place all they have to do is pass the bill and then we face losing the current internet, and this would also allow them to implement their plans for Internet 2, a controlled system.

[Darian9999]

@jsjs525 So the internet pretty much over. Wow Obama is a lying peice of crap. I really wish someone important would call him on it, but we all know that would never happen.

[jsjs525]

@Darian9999

Well not if the people can stop him... there are a few ways to go about doing that... the surest and quickest way, if the controversy over the birth certificate is true, then everything he's signed and done as president can be completely reversed, that includes taking us to war with Libya, etc. or to spread the word to those you know and don't know, and help get information out there for what they are doing, as well as talking to your congressmen/women....Or run for that position.

[Darian9999]

@jsjs525 Well that could wor, however, I am not an american citizen, nor am I of legal age to run for congress.

[rbairos1]

If private ISP services are no longer allowed to prioritize their content, will newspapers, periodicals and your personal blogs also be barred from doing so? Net neutrality is a contradiction in terms.

[11704187]

How is Net Neutrality a contradiction is terms?

What you just hypothesized doesnt quite make sense. How do blogs and newspapers prioritize their content? Are you referring to the order in which they appear in the paper?

[rbairos1]

Read through the whole argument. Blogs and newspapers selectively decide what content is heard, and what content is blocked from their publication outright. ie. Those modes of informational transport are blocked altogether, based solely on the discretion of the property owner, as it should be. Net Neutrality is government enforced behaviour on what private property owners can and cannot have said on *their own* private networks. Its anti free speech by any definition.

[GreyAutumn]

Actually, no. It's consumer rights.

[rbairos1]

Actually, you'll have to explain yourself.

Consumers have a right to buy or not buy a product or service another offers.

Consumers do not have a right to *force* another to create the services they wish to buy.

Thats called slavery.

[GreyAutumn]

Wrong. Read about consumer protection laws. And noone is forcing anything to anyone. We're just saying that they can't turn the Internet into TV 2.0.

[rbairos1]

You're not really thinking this through. You're thinking "What laws can the government pass to force the owner of a private property to tailor it to my needs." If you wanted to build an internet fibre connection that only serviced pro-Obama democrats for example, that would be your perogative as well. Consumer protection laws protect the consumer against fraud.

[GreyAutumn]

I think it's fraud to say that you're providing internet and then only provide half the internet and demand more money for the other half.

[rbairos1]

@GreyAutumn I agree. Getting sold something different than what you're told is fraud. However 'Net Neutrality' has nothing to do with that type of protection. Its actually robs people of basic property and freedom of speech rights. The sooner you realize why, the better our chances.

[GreyAutumn]

How does it better freedom of speech rights when slowly all the ISPs start to evolve to the equivalent of cabel TV? And you do realize the amount of surveillance that needs to take place for the ISPs to successfully regulate your internet attendance, right? I think that violates my privacy and I wont have it. Just like I wont have it with hotels that put surveillance cameras in their bathrooms, even though it's their private property.

[rbairos1]

@GreyAutumn ISPs can evolve to sell tuna fish sandwhiches or completely close up shop if they like. Its none of your business what services they provide as long as they're up front about it. You're worried about surveillance, how on earth do you think a net neutrality law would be enforced?

Are you okay with the government mandating your personal youtube channel remain 'neutral' in order to voice opposing views on this topic?

You understand that would be a serious blow to freedom of speech?

[GreyAutumn]

You seem to have failed to realize what this is about. It's about stopping ISPs from forming cartels with big business. It's about ensuring the continued stay of the ultimate free speech that the web provides. It's about equality.

[rbairos1]

Trust me. I have thought deeply on this topic. Freedom of speech, is *NOT* the freedom to force others to use their private property to convey your message.

Its freedom *FROM* government coercion or favouritism wrt speech. Hows this for equality, I will plaster one half of your house with anti net-neutrality slogans. Why would that infringe upon your rights?

Please think about these issues more deeply than 'what undeserved goodies can i get'.

The only stable monopolies are govt enforced.

[GreyAutumn]

Here's something. There's a difference between my house and a business, while both are private properties, the business(especially if its big) gets government subsidies. That is money from my pocket. It's money from your pocket. They take that money. If they are going to be able to do that, I demand SOME standard of quality in their service. Yes, I'm against government interference to but it seems like people only complain when its interfering with the rich, not normal people like you and me.

[rbairos1]

@GreyAutumn. Again we're in total agreement. Its wrong for any business to receive government subsidies for exactly these reasons. Businesses fail and succeed of their own accord. We as consumers freely decide their fate with our voting dollars, not government beurocrats trading political favours.

Its not a rich/poor thing its a freedom/interference thing.

PS. Merry Christmas!

[GreyAutumn]

Yes, it seems like our views are in reality very similar. Merry Christmas! :-)

[EmpJoe]

We REALLY need to get a bill passed on this. hopefully obama will get one in

[hawaiiansouljah12345]

I hope he is truely telling the truth

[MrNeo2001]

May 29th he said this, but only a few days later the press released this "U.S. Accidentally Releases List of Nuclear Sites" -NYTimes Yep! So I guess the internet 'needs' to be controlled after all! Kiss free speech and the rest of the constitution goodbye!! They want all the ISP's so they can record your entire digital life and have files on you...I think they already have them to be honest...

[abz3751678]

his a zionist trash ron paul should've been president

[gangupnow]

I highly dout it... in the end he is a puppet with mainstream media (JEWS) holding his strings.

He can't even appoint his own cabinet without making them happy first. He might be Democratic but he is just as republican as the last guy...

[Squirelbutt]

Thats funny since we used to call the other guy a rino..

[seanrobson]

He maybe a puppet - but if he turned around and spoke the truth for one day he could save millions of people from a lot of ... lets say "trouble"

[screwopenborders]

Its not about the actions of his lips its about the actions of his pen.

[kennebacasiskyle]

probably true, but at least this puppet has half a brain and can string together more than a few sentences without looking like a total douchebag

[gangupnow]

Both republican and democrats are controlled by JEWS... Why?... they hold 90% of all business in North America and money is more powerful than senate seats.

Why do you think US gov support Israel so much even though they are worse than Nazis.

Because of their support and stubbornness for Israel every one hates USA, and Obama is not doing anything different.

All evil comes to end one day no matter what!!!

[Squirelbutt]

you being ran by a puppet or douchebag. Makes no difference your still a slave.

[TheWorldFarOff]

He's a puppet, no less than Bush.
