It Just Keeps Getting Better...

Obama, the president that never saw anything he didn't want to regulate, has now decided that Amerikans need a National User ID to access the internet. Apparently, he wants to do to the internet what he did to the U.S. economy.

"CBS News reports that the Obama administration is currently drafting the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace, which will be released by the president in the next few months."

If Bush had proposed this, the Dims would be falling all over themselves and pouring into the streets in protest. But, since it's Obama, they're pretty silent.

"White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt says that anonymity and pseudonymity will remain possible on the Internet. 'I don't have to get a credential if I don't want to,' says Schmidt. There's no chance that 'a centralized database will emerge[...]' "

Right. I'm sure. No chance of that.
