SOPA terminated

House Kills SOPA - Denver Computers | Examiner.com

This is step 1. There is still PIPA, OPEN, and ACTA (although ACTA would require a supermajority).

It's also assuredly the case that the function of all of these pieces of legislation will slowly be inserted into "sure-fire" bills like we saw indefinite detention of US citizens written into NDAA which Obama signed (despite being in stark contrast to his campaign promises). Obama is easily the worst president we've ever had, deciding to use his veto power only twice despite many tens of controversial (and indeed both constitutionally and morally questionable) bills being passed under him, even those with which he claims to disagree (hint, veto = disagree).

Blackout is still in progress though. Wikipedia just announced its joining.

Remember the time Brownie did a heck of a job? Or when we went looking for WMDs in the middle of a goddamned desert? Or the time that Reagan sold the country? You're giving Obama far too much credit.

@Caustik:

Murdoch knows precisely what SOPA will do. He's the one lobbying for it.

Yet another example of a guy who doesn't know what these bills will do if passed.
Speaking of presidents, George Bush was funny cause he was such a retarded moron

You should announce you are joining.

I find it highly funny how people bitch and whine about a president doing a bad job. Don't like the way they're doing their job so much, why don't you run for president, see how much good you bring to the country. Every president to date has been labeled as horrible/not-doing-a-good-enough-job. People need to shut up or nut up.

Maybe if people like us whine about a president doing a bad job is because we weren't elected to do so, maybe it's because it's not our job, with great power comes great power comes great responsibility, he was elected to do so, to make a change like he claimed.

Presidents successors are decided already... There is no point in trying to get in the top, you know that the world has been manipulated already, as all presidents are forced to do some actions.

OT:

It's great news to hear that SOPA is gone =3

It is not gone. The article is completely misleading.

It is delayed "until a consensus can be reached". SOPA is far from dead.

Because it is constitutionally impossible for me to run for president. It is not difficult to stand up in front of the country, tell them you'll do something, then actually fucking do it. If I were ever elected president, I'd be assassinated immediately because I wouldn't be playing ball with anyone in Washington who isn't answering to the people. I don't really care about deadlines on funding bills, unless you can justify every penny in that bill to the satisfaction of the entire country, you can shove it up your ass, etc.

The problem is first past the post voting. It is mathematically highly improbable that any candidate outside of the two parties would ever be elected. And so long as the corporations making up some large % of our national GDP are funding those two parties, they will never again accept a candidate that isn't in lock-step with those paying to put them in power.

I'm sorry completely off topic but since we are going with the whole president thing. Our entire fucking system is gay. Democracy is good yes. But do you know how many billions are spent on campaigns for congress, presidential races, etc...? With all the suffering in the country, people still find it acceptable to donate to candidates so they can run their ads and then continue 4 more years of bullshit.

And to keep this on topic, good that SOPA has hit a roadblock. Now let's not stop till we kill it with fire.

He is, easily. And SOPA is undead. Maybe it's the beginning of the zombie apocalypse!?

Nixon, Harding, Johnson... In fact surely anyone who was pro-slavery should rank below Obama.

You're not much better than racists when you want to rank presidents based on their personal beliefs rather than on their actions.
