> allowing the market (that means us, the consumers) to control content.
> - His FCC wants to control the
> internet<http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/09/new_fcc_chairman_targets_inter...>,
> which is a humming beehive of free speech, much of it critical of Obama.

> subordinate to the administration, which would be larger than the American
