    Obama shutting down the internet?

    The Cybersecurity Act of 2009 (PDF) gives the president the ability to “declare a cybersecurity emergency” and shut down or limit Internet traffic in any “critical” information network “in the interest of national security.” The bill does not define a critical information network or a cybersecurity emergency. That definition would be left to the president.
    The bill does not only add to the power of the president. It also grants the Secretary of Commerce “access to all relevant data concerning [critical] networks without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access.” This means he or she can monitor or access any data on private or public networks without regard to privacy laws.

    Now I have been reading about how our liberals here think the Patriot act is wrong, well how about this?

    We have seen that once Obama got into office many of things he complained about under Bush he has fully embraced. Of course the Obama administration spun it to mean something else but the relevance is that now that Obama is the messiah we are seeing less transparency and even more attempts to regulate people's lives.

    aka Obama shut down internet when conservatives create to many Anti-Obama sites.
    Common sense tells us that the government's attempts to solve large problems more often create new ones. Common sense also tells us that a top-down, one-size-fits-all plan will not improve the workings of a nationwide health-care system that accounts for one-sixth of our economy. - Sarah Palin

    Common Sense.

    Why would he do this? He'd lose millions in illegal donations.

    Stealing the internet from Al Gore? Would he go so far as to tread on Al's toes?

    Gore will be relegated to a gulag and forced to renounce his claim and admit that it was Bolshevik Barry behind it all along.

    This, in combination with his desire of gun control, and a "civil defense force", leads me to believe he is gearing up for something big. He is trying to take far too many steps designed to shut down or otherwise control the general public. It just doesn't smell right.
