Barack Obama on Net Neutrality

If you’re any fan of the series of tubes known as the interwebs, you have no doubt heard about the ongoing battle about net neutrality. As a small-time blogger with some big opinions, an open Internet is essential to my operation.

In this excerpt from a November 2007 speech, Barack Obama discusses net neutrality in an intelligent and rational manner. I would also like to point out that you can tell that Obama understands the words that he is saying, and understands the issues he is talking about.

And isn’t that exactly what we need? A President who actually understands the Internet? Seriously, it’s 2008, and our President doesn’t understand what in the hell this series of tubes known as the Internet really is, although he does use “the Google” every now and then.

Anyway, check out the video, and think about whether Hillary or McCain would ever give a similar speech.
