The Obama Internet

I'll ask again. HOW CAN ANYONE HERE STATE WHAT IS IN THE PLAN WHEN THE FCC WON'T REVEAL ITS CONTENTS UNTIL AFTER THEY VOTE ON IT?

ObeyMe was all for FCC regulations transparency concerning changes to the regulations when he was a Senator. What changed?

Notwithstanding these efforts, many Members of Congress argued the Commission should be even more transparent. At a September 2007 public hearing in Chicago, Senator Obama submitted a statement that he “strongly requested” the FCC “put out any changes that they intend to vote on in a new notice of proposed rulemaking.” A month later, in a letter to Chairman Martin, Senator Obama argued that both the “proposed timeline and process are irresponsible.” He specifically noted while a certain proposal “may pass the muster of a federal court, Congress and the public have the right to review any specific proposal and decide whether or not it constitutes sound policy. And the commission has the responsibility to defend any new proposal in public discourse and debate. The following month Senator Obama cosponsored bipartisan legislation to block the Commission’s vote on the rulemaking, pursuant to a 90-day comment period.

This is what happens when a man has no core values.

Remember when he promised the most transparent administration in history. Another obma lie

Right on. Netflix formed a "business partnership" with the company that shook them down for millions of dollars in cash. I need to remember that line if I ever rob a bank.

And "life under the thumb" of the FCC has really made the telephone business non-competitive and awful for consumers, hasn't it. Which one of the 30 carriers does Alan get his phone service from?

Ddn't the Feds originally think the AT&T monopoly a good thing?

That only took an act of congress and a President who was willing to reverse a 50 year course to partly deregulate Telecoms and Airlines. PJ cites the benefits of deregulation from one side of his mouth while singing the praises of increased regulations from the other.

Anyone who doesn't know what is in the plan is incapable of reading a newspaper.

Other presidential administrations have been more transparent? Name one.

He campaigned on being the most transparent admiinistration ever & it isn't.

Not once have I ever showed concern that ISP's might be governed like a telephone company. Quite the oppossite. But guess who did show that concern? Ring a bell? (pun intended)
" And again every one of those horrible infringements on hopeless consumers was resolved without reclassifying ISP's to be ruled like telephone companies. "

You cant keep your own argument straight for more than 2 posts. One minute I'm talking to Norman - and the next minute I'm talking to mother.

I guess I cant get the time I spent posting on this thread back. Oh well - live and learn.
