By: L8nitedave. on 01 Oct 08, 22:41:10
McCain had subsidised Non_neutrality and decreased competetion. The lobbyist and Pac influence is having the same affect on technology it had on healthcare and as a result our nation is suffering the same fate.

By: bjornredtail. on 01 Oct 08, 07:13:55
I wish Lessig went into further detail as to which policies he believes caused the decline in broadband competition to decline as he described. Has telecom regulation really changed THAT much since 2000? How much of the decline in broadband penetration is because of the rural areas being difficult to connect to due to the limits of technology. France and a lot of countries that score higher for broadband penetration do not have any rural areas to speak of, and thus don't have this problem.

By: NormsChem. on 24 Sep 08, 05:46:33
The answer to your question is, he can't. You cannot look at the world through a 1960's lens and still be an effective president in an age where technology is changing the world more in one decade than it used to change in a century. Only a moron would vote for an anti-'net-neutrality candidate. Oh, and lessig, you're the man.

By: wyrwich. on 19 Sep 08, 01:32:27
If McCain has no idea on how to use technology, how can he possibly lead a country into the future, when society is intertwined so much with technology at the moment and this will only grow more. I mean, look at social networks such as Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, IMs, blogs and so on. Won't this mean his opinion will be a bit outdated. And this guy can't grip the concept of emails. Wow, I'm going to be worried if this guy is elected.

By: bimhimbim. on 21 Aug 08, 09:11:20
McCain's pro software patent strategy is ignorant to market developments. "John McCain Will Push For Greater Resources For The Patent Office." Yes, equip the bureaucracy that strangulates free competition with even more resources. "The lack of an affordable, reliable means to ensure that the Government only grants valid patents has led to overly broad, frivolous lawsuits designed to force innovative companies into big settlements." Yes we know, but no solution for the patent mess.

Can I ask why it is that every time I watch a politically charged video like this one; The candidates are not compared? You evaluate John McCain's policy on technology; where basically you discuss a negative trend in (some measurement of internet which is not disclosed). Why is there no direct comparison when you talk about Obama. How is HE going to 'reverse this decline?'

Great Vid. I'm entertained by the comment accusing a private citizen using the Internet to express his views as being controlled by Obama, as if they expect the filter but are more comfortable with the filter they choose. Funny we wouldn't have thought this possible in the early 90s, but where there's money involved...

I like google book search and believe it is fair use. However, the thumbnail example is not exactly the same as what google does. Though end-users see a 'thumbnail' or 'transformation' of the book, google has copied the entire work to its personal servers. In the case of the thumbnails, only the transformation was stored on the engine's servers.

By: rossetti1. on 16 Apr 06, 09:35:40
An open invitation (public notice) for opting in would be superior from a public policy standpoint. For example, Google could offer authors the first 100 clearinghouse transactions without charging a fee. Thereafter, Google could charge a management fee of "x" cents on the dollar per transaction. A program of opting in should further weaken publishers' arguments against the Project and strengthen Google's public policy argument favoring widespread and rapid access to information and ideas.

mind you, this was in the context of her performance in one particular instance where he was relativly impressed by her, by comparison to what appears to having not cared anything for her in the past. This was NOT an endorsement. He didn't even say that she had the above qualities in general, just that she displayed the qualities one time doing one little thing. I'd further agree that neither her nor McCain are the worst evils on the planet. Just that Obama would make a much better president.

I appreciate your point about not dismissing all of someone's qualities just because you may be in political opposition to him/her but the fault in this argument is ignoring the ethical implications. Even if she did perform well, your analysis does not recognize the content of her performance. This woman is clearly a warmonger, purposely fueling racist fire against Obama and hates gay people... etc. etc. Her performance in no way constitutes the description of "smart, engaged, and tough."

This is well done, but it should be noted that Dawes had NEVER held elected office before becoming VP. Thats less experience than Palin. Also, Wheeler and some of the others from NY were just machine politicans nominated because NY had so many electoral votes. Dallas was nominated by his brother in law. Tompkins became an alcoholic. Breckinridge was indicted for treason. I'm no Palin fan, but these are facts. Find "Vice-Precedence:Being Number Two in The White House" for more.Its here on YouTube

McCain's governmental experience is also exclusively legislative. Also, Wasilla is smaller than some high schools and most universities - a completely different league than the most powerful country in the world. And AK is, along with Hawaii, one of the most atypical states. Mere administrative experience really doesn't mean much. One could argue that she doesn't know the US legislative system as a legislator or through her education.

Using that argument ...
By: ke99. on 29 Sep 08, 01:19:31

as much as experience as Lincoln, k? glad we're clear on that. Good video though. I agree with everything you've said (cept the interview thing...some of the things she said were off-base). Palin has many personality traits that are admirable and make her a good person. But we're 8 years into this century and we've screwed up quite a bit already. We're in a deep hole and picking someone who is a risk is not something we should risk as a nation.

The proper question ...
By: bxzbxzbxzbxz. on 28 Sep 08, 08:46:16
The proper question is whether she has as much or more experience in an executive branch of government as previous VPs. Since many previous VPs have never had any executive experience, the answer is in the affirmative. Moreover, and more importantly, she has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined, neither of whom has any executive experience whatsoever. They have never run anything in their lives, not even a bookstore, let alone a state government.

One cannot argue about the job the George Jr. has done as of late, but it shouldn't be an excuse to make poor decisions going forward.

By: bjornredtail. on 26 Sep 08, 06:24:14
Palin has been in office for over 10 years as well. Unlike Obama, MOST of that is executive experience, as mayor, chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Commission and Governor, where most of his experience is legislative. The presidency is an executive post, thus Palin IS more experienced than Obama, if a bit less experienced than most of the folks mentioned in Lessig's video.

He rolled over on telecom immunity with the FISA bill. I don't even care that much about the campaign financing thing, but he isn't true to his word. He lacks integrity. He continues to fund the war in Iraq, he goes along with voting for bills that include funding for it. If he was really against this war... he would stop funding.

jvalenti, what are you scared of/ That Hillary in the White house might achieve what her husband did when he was president? like pay back the US debt, create a budget surplus and restore US honor and status around the world? And she might get you health insurance as well, as you would have in any other developed and civilized country? That's what'so fantastic about voting for Hillary! There are no surprises, we know what the Clintons can do in the White House.

I've been a registered Republican for the last 25 years. I've never voted for a Democratic president. But I live in Pennsylvania and I'll bes witching to Democrat. I plan on voting for Obama. He's part of my generation, yes - he's inspiring, but most of all, Hillary scares the hell out of me!

By: maremare1225. on 24 Feb 08, 10:38:27
In the national election she's not going to have a choice, McCain will bring up the experience and toughness cards for her. And McCain is not as conservative on social issues.. he can get moderates to vote for him, especially moderates that oppose socialized health care.

By: tysonsahib. on 20 Feb 08, 16:07:51
A lot of this is very good, but he makes the same lame analysis of how Clinton would campaign against McCain that a lot of other pundits make. The reason Clinton emphasizes experience against Obama is because they are so close on issues. Obviously Clinton wouldn't campaign purely on experience and toughness against McCain - she is closer to the American people on healthcare, abortion, taxes, etc. than McCain is, and counters McCain's strengths of toughness and experience better than Obama does.

AMEN!!! Clinton ...
By: kroses. on 17 Feb 08, 23:12:48
AMEN!!! Clinton cannot win, because of her extremely HIGH negatives and the many polls which already say that she could NEVER win against McCain. She and her husband are concerned only with themselves, and not with "We The People," the Democratic Party, and especially our country! They will do ANYTHING to win, including the "Tricky Dick" Nixon, Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, Bush "DIRTY POLITICS," and I could and would NEVER vote for someone like that! Thank God I won't have to!

you are part of the problem with American politics. Every good candidate get trashed with your baloney lies and conspiracy theories, and so we end up with carter or bush or clinton or whatever. Youre a typical pathetic ron paul loser.

By: compassionrepublican. on 16 Feb 08, 20:14:55
hillary depends on the latino and NOW voters, and some elderly. Is very sad if Obama goes down because of clinton seeding the divisions and identity politics, then have hillary crushed by mccain in the general. Id rather see mccain win vs. hillary like most, but my first choice would be Obama. Obama is a once in a lifetime candidate, and im not the only republican who would vote for him.
