And it costs billions of dollars that Republicans TAXPAYERS probably will be unwilling to spend

A 12 year old girl kidnapped and held for ransom by a Mexican drug cartel in New Mexico. As in the USA.

So glad he’s got his priorities straight. Jackass.

We had satellite for two years (Wildblue).

You get 7.5GB per month, 1.5Mb down (if you’re lucky), and a latency of 1100+ms (compared to 130-180ms for wireless). The latency was SO bad I couldn’t access secure sites, check my bank balances, make purchases, etc., without getting a timeout.

Satellite is NOT broadband. It’s also expensive - $70+ a month. And the cap is a joke.

This post truly is racist, and I don’t mean this as sarcasm either.

What part of the post is inaccurate?

Ever been to Detroit, lately?

If you've been to Beirut, you'll not know the difference. Police have areas where THEY are not permitted to enter.

The photo (taken in Pontiac, MI), depicts the Detroiters that showed up for "OBAMA MONEY".

I'm tired of being called racist and bigot when the reality is pointed out.

Flack is heaviest when you're over the target, though.

The cap is horrendous.

They punish you for using too much. One ten minute youtube and you are slower than dial up for the rest of the day. We couldn't stand it.

We were lucky and have a wireless alternative now.

I double checked. That is a photo from downtown Detroit. The corner of Washington and W. Congress.

Obama wants nearly all Americans to have access to speedy wireless services.

Speedy wireless to go with the High Speedy Railway, I'm guessing.

Thanks, grellis. Have a great weekend!
