Indeed it was. After long and thorough analysis on both their parts, with clear objectives well established long before there was a law. When Obama stands before the crowd and lays out just how things are gonna be, does that sound reasoned? Has this been the subject of extensive conversation between the industry and his office? And, if it has, shouldn't that have been at least mentioned? The principal objection here is the authoritarian, heavy-handed delivery - and that didn't come from McCain.

Mmmm...just like Prohibition. What'd that take? - 18 -20 years? But I agree, finding themselves without microphone power or television availability would motivate politicians with resolve.
