US President Barack Obama lamented Sunday that in the iPad and Xbox era, information had become a diversion that was imposing new strains on democracy...

So says the man who refused to give up his Crackberry when he got elected.

Regarding the title of the thread, Barry Soetoro will soon change that ... he is now the ruler and his appointed csars will clean up that loose end sooner rather than later, because November elections are looming.

Hey Obama, ya kenyan communist asshole!

Kim Jong Il doesn’t allow his citizens to own a cell phone or camera, and contact with the outside world is forbidden. Violation of such totalitarian laws yields time in the gulag or public execution.

Obama has taken his mask off again, and shown us that he is nothing more than a tin-pot wearing tyrant.

Clearly his ability to manipulate the MSM is central to his ability to rule. Alternative media are mucking up his well oiled machine. Too bad.

We are going to see a frontal assault on free speech real soon now. First the FTC overruling the SC and attacking the Internet with their lies, and next up FNC and then talk radio.

We shall soon find out if Rush, Beck, Hannity...(and the other yappers)....are phonies or cowards.

If they are are phonies Rush, Beck, Hannity, and the rest, will sell their talents to the fascist oligarchy. They will spit shine the boots crushing our necks.

If they are cowards they will not assist the oligarchy but they will rue the day that they failed to report on Obama's eligibility early in his run for president. There is still time to do this. The time to oppose evil is NOW! Why? Because:

**The fascist oligarchy will throw them off the air anyway.

**The fascist oligarchy will carry out their threats against them anyway.

**The fascist oligarchy will reveal their deepest darkest secrets anyway.

**The fascist oligarchy will steal their money anyway.

Personally,...Words don't exist in the English language that can convey my level of disgust and contempt for Rush, Beck, Hannity, ( and the other yappers) for having ignored Obama's eligibility. They are hypocrits when they claim to hold the Constitution in esteem and then report nothing about Obama's natural born status.

Rush in a tongue in cheek manner says, "Talent on loan from God!" Well...There is true in that. He will be held accountable before God for having hidden his talent under a bushel and allowed Obama's eligibility to go unreported. Also..It complete possible for God to raise up and even greater talent to challenge Rush and put him out of business.

Imo, Rush Limbaugh is doing a FANTASTIC JOB of informing us and offering a forum for us to debate current issues. His knowledge of history astounds me and I do not believe our Father has any special punishment in mind for Rush regarding uhbama's ineligibility.

He is smart enough to know what to attack and what to allow others to attack.

He walks a tight rope and is subject to being criticised by the PRESIDENT. Imagine, the president of our country has stuped to throw barbs at Rush, at Hannity, etc. Pretty pathetic on uhbama's part. But expected.

“You’re coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don’t always rank all that high on the truth meter,” Obama said

Hussein shouldn't talk about truth meters.

"It’s getting harder and harder to dupe those of us who make an effort to stay informed"

Unfortunately, there is a large segment of our population which does not care to be informed. Perhaps that is why Soap Operas and "Reality " shows are so popular.

“Let’s face it — even some of the craziest claims can quickly gain traction. I’ve had some experience with that myself.

Yeah....like “You can keep your healthcare...” and “No tax increases for anyone making less that $250,000...”

Amazing how that disinformation gets around....

Apparently technology failed in November 2008, because there are a lot of voters who would now like to change their votes.

He's paving the way for future suppression of the internet, ala Red China. My bet is that he already has plans in the making for that. This is a man who really does want to be CEASAR Obama.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ultimately, there are too many people in America who are praying with all their might that the Constitution will be upheld and restored to its original meaning. God will raise up people with the talent ( and courage) to do that, if people like Rush, Beck, Hannity, ( and the other yappers) refuse to do it.

Really...The talent that Rush, Beck, Hannity,( and the other yappers) hold really is “talent on loan from God.”

Not sure what you mean by yapper but it reads kind of insulting like. I thank God these good men are on the talent marker using their God given skills to inform all of us of the details the main stream press ignores. The information we get from the talk show hosts makes all the difference in our knowledge base. None of us have the time or the research capacity that these men or women (thinking of Laura Ingraham, in particular) have.

This poser knows nothing about this country or her people. WE will not go quietly into the night.

Obama was raised among communist sympathizers,Marxist, socialist or whatever.

He was never taught what made/makes this country great.

We will have elections in 2010, and in 2012 he will be voted out.

I agree. Tomorrow is November and it is going to be incredibly ugly for the rats.

2012? Possible fifty state sweep for the Repubs with monster coat tails gaining us more seats in Congress.
