The Same Old thing

If anyone believes that Obama is any different than any of the other puppets dancing the Washington waltz they should give their heads a shake,he is about power plain and simple different nitch same group.He will bow to the power of the people he owes and cave to the record and movie industry,only in America
LOVELY

This Article is GARBAGE

This is how rumors get started. Maybe the author of this article should learn how to use the internet. The policy is there and now it is even in printable format:

Here's where to find what you claim is gone:

If you want all your readers to vote for someone who DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO USE A COMPUTER OR SEND EMAIL THEN COME OUT AND SAY. Otherwise, you need to print a retraction on your article because you are flat out LYING!

What's in writing & promises?

The only thing that mattered was an H. W. Supreme Court Stamp.

Who pay more

I was hoping that Obama is real man for president. But ...

Obama broke promises one by one, to hide his real plan. Plan is simple: Who gona pay more for my decisions as president. 

Sadly, now I do not have president candidat for me :(

Is this because of Zimmerman?

If it's because Zimmerman had a run in with Biden a while ago over PGP, I think you should know that Zimmerman backs the Obama/Biden campaign. (You may well have reported this.)

There is no "backtrack", this is FUD.

Yup - the Full Plan is still there

I was very unhappy to learn of the change on the Internet issues on Obama's website. The 2nd commenter above is correct; the full plan, including a strong net neutrality position, is still available on the website. BUT, you must scroll ALL the way to the very bottom of the Technology issues page and click on the hyperlink to see it. 

I'm glad to see the policy is still there, but I do wish they hadn't relegated it to a position "below the fold", and thereby given a less important physical location. Catering to DRM Biden? Catering to short attention span readers? Maybe both?

Yeah Right

If Obama gets in I can guarantee he will start taxing the net to include the possibility of taxing each email you send. They have already toyed with that idea! I can also guarantee he will flip flop and side with Hollywood on DRM and socialistic ideals.

A promise is still a promise

A promise given is still a promise after you remove it from your Web site or you de-emphasise it. Of course that doesn't mean it'll be kept. A few weeks ago [The West Wing] season five repeats got to the episode where Josh Lyman is confronted with the fact that he and President Bartlett promised to protect U.S. jobs but the latest world trade deal is leading to 10,000 programming posts going to India. As far as I followed it, it's then put to him that in politics what's immoral isn't breaking promises, but making them in the first place. And this somehow means he doesn't have to resign or anything. I don't think I agree, though.

Its' UNBELIEVABLE How Stupid U.S.A. IS.

Hon Barak- Name Barak is name of White Horse Mohammed asended to Heaven on with Bomb, to Boot-Is Also About Financial War, Too.

Hon Barak announced yesterday that along with raising Taxes significantly, Government Spending will be CUT to Bare Minimum.

Meaning Extreme Depression as people in Debt lose small income from Government sources & Owe More for It.

Bankruptcy Courts will be Clogged & Ill Will be forefront of Humanity. Its' Bad Situation & Unlikely to change with just voting other guy, Other Guy is Same Guy, if you read Positions Long Enough. So gets Your Socks of Pennies out, They Might Really Be Worth Something.
Unless Your Buying GAS.

No backtrack, its still all there.

Well they've edited the website down a bit, but the full pledge is still there, if you can be bothered enough to click the "Read Obama's Technology and Innovation Plan" link at the end.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
