President Obama doesn't like anti-government rhetoric, and wants people to cut it out. (He didn't seem to mind it three years ago.) I think he just doesn't believe in freedom of speech for those who disagree with him. What else could be the explanation for giving the FTC control over the internet as is contained in the proposed financial reform law. (Wonder what rationale the Democrats have for this since the internet obviously had nothing to do with the financial meltdown.)
