3. Obama will never shut down the internet.

Unless the Republicans say he should.

But on a serious note... we should really make sure the president does NOT have that power. Because Obama will not be president forever.

Which half is gunna stay open? The porn half, I hope.

6. despite the intended joke, you're more than likely correct

It would be 'shutdown' for the masses, but there would still be certain IPs that may be allowed to pass.

7. If Obama did shut down the internets...

where would we go to say it's OK because a Democrat did it?
