All of this may seem like just another amusing example of how out-of-touch our elected officials are. But it has dangerous implications. Over the last two decades we have seen Congress (and the Administration), out of ignorance, reaction or just plain grandstanding, do almost everything it can to undermine high technology, and especially entrepreneurship” from crushing regulations (which is why there are no tech IPOs anymore) and anti-trust harassment to bizarre accounting requirements on stock options to criminalizing success to falling for the latest scientific scare.
Bottom line: When it comes to matters of high technology, Obama is an ignoramus and a dumbass. But then, so is Senator McCain.
But then, so are all the rest of the steersmen on the ship of fools that is our daily life. We are ruled by dumbasses. This is only possible because we ourselves are, for the most part, dumbasses.
And we like it that way.
