Lesser of Two Evils???
Yet another reason why Obama is trying to fuck us all over. Below from Demand Progress.
Just to be 100% clear here, I am NOT saying the Republicans are any less evil on ANY of the issues I post about here pointing fingers at Obama.
===============================================
We need your help: Once again, the film studios and record companies that tried to censor the Internet are up to no good. The same business lobbyists who backed SOPA are trying to stop you from reselling most of the things that you own -- and President Obama has taken their side.

A few months ago Demand Progress -- joined by over 100,000 Internet users and a coalition of public interest groups -- asked President Obama to take action andprotect consumers' rights to resell their own things.
The Supreme Court is currently hearing a case (Kirstaeng v. Wiley) that will decide whether you have the right to sell your iPod, books, and other goods on eBay and Craigslist -- or even at your own yard sale.
But the entertainment industry lobbyists at the MPAA and RIAA have filed a brief in the Supreme Court mocking consumers' concerns -- just like they did during the SOPA Fight.
These special interests admit that they want the Supreme Court to decide against the interests of ordinary Americans and protect the music and film industries' "ability to control entry into distinct markets."
You heard that right -- Hollywood admits that controlling their CD and DVD markets is more important than consumer rights.
Click here to tell Obama and Congress to side with us -- not with big businesses that want to control whether we can resell the things we own.
Amazingly, the Obama administration agrees and has rejected the pleas of thousands of ordinary consumers.
The White House's solicitor general filed a legal brief rejecting our arguments and allowing big businesses to sue people for reselling their things online.
Click here to tell Obama to withdraw his brief, and side with consumers -- not big business.
Thanks.
