Gizmodo
Not only does he say he supports net neutrality, Obama actually seems to have something of a grasp on what it means and why it's important (politically tinged examples aside), which is kind of impressive, given how technologically ignorant politicians can oh-so-famously be. And look at all those Web 2.0 companies he namedrops: Facebook! MySpace! So hip, so savvy. If only I was registered to vote! [via Webware via BB]

he forgot to mention gizmodo.
heh. Booyah!
I would love to hear him say "If you smell ... llll ... what the Rock ... Is cooking!" after oe of his speeches.
Wait! You're not registered to vote? WTF?
As a rule, school is cool.
Not being registered to vote? Not so much.
Don't vote?
Don't bitch.
I vote, so I get to bitch.
Thoreau said that voting was pointless...
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for voting... but does your vote really count?
Obama's is desperate.
Since HRC is kicking his ass all over the map, he's now trying to actually talk policy?
Too late for that, dude.
He has no idea what he is talking about - he's just fishin' in different voter ponds then the rest of the politicos.
That was, by far, the most headache-inducing camera work ever. It was likely the fault of Obama having a 270 degree audience. No matter the reason, I still couldn't watch the clip, and had to just listen.
He obviously hasn't had to talk much about net neutrality, because he was pulling that so far out of his ass that he had to name drop to try and make a point to the kids in the audience.
Maybe if it was an issue that came up more often to politicians he would have had his thought more developed on the topic...
well by the time American corporations take over the internet, I'm sure Japan and china will roll out something better.

MTV? Like anyone who watches MTV is either old enough, or intelligent enough to make it to a polling booth. So jeers that he has to answer a question on one of the dumbest stations on the tube (the old, non-intertubes tube) ,second only to Fox News.
"Lik OMG! DaRock iz a11 4 da Net! If I wuznt 14 Id so lik v0t3 4 him!! <3 <3 !!!11!!!"
I guess it's only because everyone in the US has a TIVO and a You Tube account that anyone who may actually be interested can see this.
Strangely enough, having an internet Presidential Election poll would probably be more accurate than the system currently being produced by Diebold - even if it is flooded by prepubescent votes.
He would still stick it to the Telcoms though. I'm taxed enough.
Was the person recording this dicking around on AIM at the same time, or am I just going insane?
@Reilao: nope i heard it too
@Reilao:
I think you're just using AIM too much. The sound is now following you everywhere...as long as you're watching this video.
Google Ron Paul
I like RP's stance on the net better, he gets it.
Politicians are all a bunch of practiced liars. A more democratic government today would involve having actual citizens voting via PCs/internet to erect/enact laws, etc, imo. Viva La Revolucion!!
@banmojo: thats what i was thinking. i mean if i can do my taxes online why can't i vote online.
@strider_mt2k:
Also if you do vote, don't bitch, everyone is alloted the same number of votes (1).
Wow, he actually did know what it was. That's a shock...
Cool, but I only vote for candidates who do not intentionally pander to anti-gay voters.
