Obama and the Fairness Doctrine
The White House issued a statement saying President Obama opposes reinstating the Fairness Doctrine.
Great right? After all, this is in fact consistent with what Barack said on the campaign trail.
Well, maybe. The Fairness Doctrine can be reinstated without calling it the Fairness Doctrine. A simple change in policy can be made when Obama appoints the new chair of the FCC.
FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell had this to say back in January:
As recently as February 16th top Obama administration adviser David Axelrod said:
We must be watchful and careful. I hope the new President will not bring this blatent censorship of opposing viewpoints back as policy.
"As the president stated during the campaign, he does not believe the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated,"
Great right? After all, this is in fact consistent with what Barack said on the campaign trail.
"He considers this debate to be a distraction from the conversation we should be having about opening up the airwaves and modern communications to as many diverse viewpoints as possible," Ortiz added. "That is why Sen. Obama supports media-ownership caps, network neutrality, public broadcasting, as well as increasing minority ownership of broadcasting and print outlets."
Well, maybe. The Fairness Doctrine can be reinstated without calling it the Fairness Doctrine. A simple change in policy can be made when Obama appoints the new chair of the FCC.
FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell had this to say back in January:
it would not come back wearing a big sign saying, "it's me, the fairness doctrine," but would likely instead be rebranded.
As recently as February 16th top Obama administration adviser David Axelrod said:
“I’m going to leave that issue to Julius Genachowski, our new head of the FCC, and the president to discuss,
We must be watchful and careful. I hope the new President will not bring this blatent censorship of opposing viewpoints back as policy.

President Barack Hussein Obama wants the White House to take control of the 2010 Census!
After this drew some fire...
Oh yeah, I feel much better now.

Dictator Chavez Wins Electoral Victory...and Wants to Talk to Obama
Just a few excerpts from the New York Times Article:
Surely President Obama wouldn't dream of engaging a Thug like this right? Wrong!
Venezuelans began voting Sunday on a referendum on lifting term limits for President Hugo Chávez and other elected officials. The election could open the way for Mr. Chávez to hold onto power beyond the end of his current term in 2013.
Mn Saturday, Mr. Chávez said that he was ready to engage in direct talks with President Obama
His government shifted attention from festering domestic issues like a surge in homicides by expelling a Spanish lawmaker who was here as an electoral observer. The Spanish member of the European Parliament, Luis Herrero, was forced out of the country Friday night after he had publicly described Mr. Chávez as a “dictator” in criticism of the electoral process.
Surely President Obama wouldn't dream of engaging a Thug like this right? Wrong!
Obama said, in response to a question, that he would meet with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba...

A Democrat Congressman from Florida has introduce a bill (HR 645) that would create Dentention Camps for US Citizens on Military Bases.
Meanwhile, the discussion in Washington D.C. has turned towards eliminating the Secret Ballot for Union Elections.
The final step to watch for is Obama's Civilian Defense Force.
Yeah, I feel safe.

"I absolutely think it's time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves," Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., told liberal radio host Bill Press last week. She said she expects hearings soon on reviving the policy,
A Democrat Congressman from Florida has introduce a bill (HR 645) that would create Dentention Camps for US Citizens on Military Bases.
The proposed bill, which has received little mainstream media attention, appears designed to create the type of detention center that those concerned about use of the military in domestic affairs fear could be used as concentration camps for political dissidents,
Meanwhile, the discussion in Washington D.C. has turned towards eliminating the Secret Ballot for Union Elections.
Unions support the bill simply because it makes the unionization process easier, said James Sherk, a labor expert at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank in Washington.
"Oftentimes, workers that sign the card don't really support the unionization of the company, but sign the card" to get the union organizer "off their backs,"
The final step to watch for is Obama's Civilian Defense Force.
Yeah, I feel safe.
Give Him a Chance!
Ok. I gave in. I gave the Lord High Savior of the United States, Comra...I mean President Barack Hussein Obama over 3 weeks. I can't keep quiet any longer. I must confess, I'm very worried about the actions he, and other Capitol Hill Democrats are taking. Details to follow...
