I did some quick research and actually couldn't find a place where Obama himself actually said that he wanted access, so sorry to misinform. But there is a Senate bill (S.3480), headed up by the liberals, that would give Obama the authority to do that. That's what I was referring too. Sorry for the misinformation.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he'd sign it.

McCain supporter and UHC filibusterer Joe Liberman (the bill's sponsor) is now a "liberal"?

Ironic as one of the goals in the design of ARAPNET (the internet) was to make a communications system that could survive a nuclear strike.

Potential loss of freedom aside, what impact would this have on world trade if implemented? I know most major websites have servers in other countries as well, but what kind of worldwide impact would result from shutting off internet access to most of the US?

Both of those people are liberals.

I'd love to start a thread on your definition of "liberal".

Please, be specific. Liberalism is a political ideology and not all people who espouse it would be in favor of this.
