> In the wake of this, he's decided to take maybe the most important economic issue of the next 20 years and politicize it. Obama campaigned on net neutrality and has been talking about it throughout his presidency. This is nothing new. I don't disagree that it might have been better if he had said nothing - but I suspect the current antigovernment sentiment would have applied regardless of what Obama said.
