Obama Nominates Net Neutrality Backer for FCC Chief
By Ryan Singel EmailMarch 03, 2009 | 7:58:46 PMCategories: FCC
President Barack Obama nominated on Tuesday Julius Genachowski – a lawyer, techie and former venture capitalist – to head the Federal Communications Commission.
The nomination of Genachowski as chairman was widely anticipated and quickly applauded by proponents of net neutrality, who hope an Obama FCC will move decisively to limit what telecoms can and cannot do with internet traffic on their networks.
Genachowski, a former Harvard law classmate of Obama’s, served as Obama’s top tech campaign advisor and helped shape the campaign’s embrace of having the government create and enforce net neutrality rules.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
