Obama has permission to turn off all communications in US at will

[Tayasaurus]

Meh, companies are too greedy to start manufacturing in the US.

Yes, nothing but greed. Its not like the present but ignored problems in the US haven't driven business away or anything. 100% greed.

This was 2012.

Get over yourselves.

Get over yourselves.

I only found one Executive Order that had to do with communications (at least according to its title) in 2012, and that did not relate to shutting down all communications.

EDIT: Interestingly it was the one mentioned in the article: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/07/06/executive-order-assignment-national-security-and-emergency-preparedness-

This executive order appears to just set up "national security and emergency preparedness" policy that allows the President to use certain bands of communication during emergencies.

Yeah it's greed. China= low wages, no unions, no government intervention, and less human rights. It's a manufacturing magnet.

No kidding, if people read rather than assuming and flipping out this thread would have nothing in it.
