Obama Significantly Revises Technology Positions
method9455 writes "Barack Obama has edited his official website on many issues, including a huge revision on the technology page. Strangely it seems net neutrality is no longer as important as it was a few months ago, and the swaths of detail have been removed and replaced with fairly vague rhetoric. Many technologists were alarmed with the choice of Joe Biden before, and now it appears their fears might have been well founded." Update: 09/22 18:07 GMT by T : Julian Sanchez of Ars Technica passed on a statement from an Obama campaign representative who points out that the changes in wording highlighted by Versionista aren't the whole story, and that more Obama tech-plan details are now available in a PDF, saying "there is absolutely no substantive change to our policy - folks who want more information can click to get our full plan."
People never cease to amaze me. They really think that the establishment would allow someone to really try and change anything? Wake up people, the Dems are not the answer. They have had control of both the House and Senate for about two years now and *nothing* has changed. The people believed all the Dems bullshit about change then and look what happened? Congress and the Senate wield far more power than the President and they have not stopped the illegal war, nor have they brought the President to account for his crimes against the people of the United States, its Constitution or the rest of the world. Everyone swept the Dems in to make all that happen and they sat on it. One of the first phrases out of Peloski's mouth was that impeachment was off the table. If their entire party failed to respond to an overwhelming demand from the people two years ago what really makes you think that is going to change now? Obama, even if he meant well could never buck the big business party or either of it's right wings. They blew smoke up our asses then, they're doing it again.
It's rather pink of you to take sides in the charade
It's rather pink of you to call our democratic process a charade.
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
I suppose, I assume, I seriously don't think. You are making a lot of suppositions and assumptions to soothe your desire to believe what you want about Obama. I'm not saying the alternative is better. Just don't assume because you want something to be true, it is. That is how wives trick themselves into ignoring facts about their husbands when things are blatantly obvious to others.
