Obama, pulling another Obamacare:

From TheWeeklyStandard.com:

Why Can’t the Public See Obama’s Proposed Internet Regulations?

by Mark Hemingway

Republican senators Mike Lee, Ben Sasse, and Rand Paul have all been high profile opponents of the Obama administrations current plan to regulate the internet — in particular, Lee has called the regulation a government “takeover” of the internet and says it amounts to a “a massive tax increase on the middle class, being passed in the dead of night without the American public really being made aware of what is going on.”

And when Lee says that the American public isn’t aware of what’s going on, that is in no way hyperbole. FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai has emerged as a hero for those opposed to the regulation because Pai has been taking to the airwaves decrying the fact that the public is not allowed to see 332 pages of proposed internet regulation before they are potentially passed.

As with Obamacare, we have to “pass the bill before we can know what’s in it.”

After all of this, why are people in the media so terribly incurious?

No transparency.  That is the hallmark of the Obama Administration.
