It`s nice to have someone who will talk straight to the American People. While I don`t agree with every one of his plans, he backs them up with information and honest talk.

I`m looking forward to this Presidency.

I can`t believe I just said that about our government.

I can`t explain how it feels to have a person who is intelligent enough to speak on all of the issues he covered during this interview. It ought to be the baseline expectation of a president...

I have every hope that Obama will be one of the greatest leaders this country has ever seen.

The darker the night, the brighter the light.

GOOD NEWS!!!


Net Neutrality Advocates In Charge Of Obama Team Review of FCC


The Obama-Biden transition team on November 14, 2008 named two long-time net neutrality advocates to head up its Federal Communications Commission Review team.

Susan Crawford, a professor at the University of Michigan Law School, and Kevin Werbach, a former FCC staffer, organizer of the annual tech conference Supernova, and a Wharton professor, will lead the Obama-Biden transition team`s review of the FCC.

Both are highly-regarded outside-the-Beltway experts in telecom policy, and they`ve both been pretty harsh critics of the Bush administration`s telecom policies in the past year....

The choice of the duo strongly signals an entirely different approach to the incumbent-friendly telecom policymaking that`s characterized most of the past eight-years at the FCC.

This March at a telecom policy conference in Hollywood, for example, Crawford bluntly told Ambassador Richard Russell, the White House` associate director on science and technology policy, that he lived in a fantasyland when he asserted that the United States` roll-out of broadband is going well....

And in a final introductory statement during her talk (that`s likely to send shivers down the spines of telecom company executives) she said that she believes internet access is a "utility."

"This is like water, electricity, sewage systems: Something that each and all Americans need to succeed in the modern era. We`re doing very badly, and we`re in a dismal state," she said at the time.

Exp
ansion of broadband across the country could--and should--be the Obama administration`s version of rural electrification. It is just as critical to the nation`s economic security and development as electrification was 70 years ago. And net neutrality is as critical to that development as any physical infrastructure. If the network gatekeepers--the telcos--are allowed to filter content and to charge arbitrarily for its delivery the Internet as we know it no longer exists.

The FCC is critical to the decision-making process on net neutrality now. Because the issue hasn`t been legislated yet, they set the policy. So we`re going to see the fight to preserve it continue at the regulatory level, and it`s good news to think we`ll have a friendlier FCC in the Obama administration. However, it`s still going to be critical that Congress enact net neutrality protections, so prepare for that effort to kick up again in the new Congress. We should be on much friendlier ground with them, too.

This interview was pretty indept, good post

Its really nice to see Obama in office, someone who worked all his life and not have his life handed to him on a silver platter
*cough* Bush *cough*

He is probably one of the most down to earth, sensible, politicians i have ever heard of, Its a breath of fresh air. i just hope he is as sucessful as he is a good person. and that the crazy goons in the south dont try to assassinate or hurt him. that and anyone who states that Abe lincoln and FDR as their role models is very commendable

I have great Respect for Obama, as a person and as a politician

Holy shit, what a brilliant man(Obama...not Andy Rooney).

For the first time,I have hope. It`s one hell of a feeling. Finally, we don`t have a president who is just a Democrat or just a Republican...we have a president who is American.

VIVA LA (R)EVOLUTION!!!
