I can’t imagine that even leftists support this idea.

Obama needs to present his case before Congress? Why? He doesn’t need Congress.

I know it's not exactly the same, but we used to look a communist countries with scorn when their fearless leader would "nationalize" things like the railroads. Oh! Owners and businessmen are bad! We'll just put politicians in charge of the railroads! Everything will work wonderfully then!

Obama declaring the internet a public utility?

Worst. Idea. Ever.

I predict hackers are not going to like this, see it for what it is, and we may even get to see some secret communications from the president to his Muslim lieutenants about what his plans for the destruction of the U.S. entail...

Will he be the first chief executive to deliver the SOTU from a foreign nation? How about Cuba? Jamaica? .. No, Kenya.

And we know damn sure who they would side with if he did present his case. The People are no longer represented by those whom they elect...

Wouldn’t be surprised at all if 0bambam uses the SOTU to promote more of his socialism, hopefully more in Congress will shout “you lie.”

I don’t understand why Barry just can’t do a little “soft shoe” at his BIG State of the Union Show and call that good. We don’t need anymore of his bright ideas.

Is this even an issue, or is it a solution in search of a problem?

Anything to avoid talking about the 3000 pound muzzlim gorilla in the room (and the 180 pound one reading the teleprompter).

Why would he do that? To raise taxes, because it’s a utility—no rock left unturned in search of revenue? Or, was he bribed by someone in the streaming business, like Netflix?

“Net Neutrality” is a nice sounding buzzword, but so what—there’s so many buzzwords for him to choose from. Is it the “War against data-packets?”

When the Internet was fresh and new the government did not allow regulation or taxation because it would hamper growth. So it grew and grew. Now they’re attempting to do both. Telephone service pre-phone company breakup was very expensive. Then Reagan deregulated it. In just months new products and services sprang up. The industry grew by leaps and bounds. That’s what deregulating did. Make no mistake, if the government regulates the cost of everything internet related will go up.

define the internet as a public utility
public utilites are governed by rules for the “public good”
pass rules = regulate
regulate = control
control = censorship

CENSORSHIP = GOOD BY FREE REPUBLIC AND CONSERVATIVE OPINION

It really is that simple!
