5. Well we'll have to see ultimately how this plays out.

As I have said there is potential for unconstitutional abuse with this executive order and given President Obama's record on internet freedom sadly I am not too hopeful about it not being abused. I liked a lot of what was in the SOTU but any internet censorship or other infringements on civil liberties just doesn't sit well with me and it never has. I very much believe in a free and open internet and I would like to keep it that way. I don't hate the President in fact there a lot of things he's done that I personally like such as the ACA being a step in the right direction or some of the things in Wall-Street Reform like Elizabeth Warren's CFPB being included. Sadly though as I have said his record on internet freedom/other civil liberties is horrible. If you would like to know why look up ACTA, TPP, or NDAA.
