Here's more change you can believe in (NOT!)

Yes, Obama is defending corporate america just like Bush did. How's that vote working out for all of you Obama voters? Sounds like "bidness as usual" in Washington.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think that AT&T should be punished for doing what the government told them to do. They have to keep them happy, as they control the FCC purse strings. However, if the government asked me to hack into someone else's server, I think I'd want to know what was in it for me. The legal ramifications would be huge.

Now, if it were to Cuba, or Iran, then ... the decision might be much easier. However, just against normal US citizens or businesses? No way.

So, what's next? Tax cuts for "big oil?" A bailout for the local gas stations? Selling off public parks for cash? Support for the war in Afghanistan? (well, I support that ... but Democrats usually do not)
