I'm an Australian. Obama is the most disappointing politician I've ever seen. He talks of Hope, then he takes it away. He talks of Freedom, but doesn't allow it. That's very sad.


Australia has significantly worse Internet regulation than the US.


And? My disappointment with my own government does not mean that I can't be disappointed with the leader of the "Free World" - one that is increasingly monitoring its own citizens, much like a totalitarian state would.

If this is how it goes in the United States, and the U.S. is held up as the standard for freedom, how is that good for the rest of the world?


With ubiquitous surveillance, there is only little need for regulation.
