Online Gambling USA Obama Must Speak Up

By all accounts President Barack Obama has been doing a good job on the standing urgent issues facing the USA at this time in it's glorious history. The president has not however come out and said anything positive about the online gambling debate currently going on in the USA. To be fair the ambitious agenda set out before the new administration has been dealt with resolve and determination.

The economic crisis, health care reform, and the overseas problems in Afghanistan, North Korea, Iraq, and Iran, has consumed much of the President's energy. He has done a great deal for the image of America on the world stage in the past six months. Now it seems the time has come for his Democrats to stand up for the changes that Americans are demanding. Even right wing Republicans are committed to making America as free as possible and that includes internet freedom and the right of it's citizens to play poker. The President needs to make his voice heard, and his position understood, regarding online casinos and sports gambling in the USA so say many online gambling proponents. The recent petition by the Poker Players Alliance with over a million signatures bolsters that sentiment.

Obama campaigned for freedom of the Internet without censorship, of web activities. Obama is a known poker aficionado who follows the game. An interactive poll revealed that USA residents feel the right to play online poker should be a technological priority of this administration. It is obvious that there are rifts in the various state decisions to allow sportsbetting and online poker. The Federal government of the USA must act to protect American's from some lawmakers who are trying to keep poker playing citizens from seeing their winnings deposited in their bank accounts. Ten million members of the Poker Players Alliance is a small portion of the total number and this true silent majority is weary of organized religious radicals, hypocritical lobbyists and special interest groups having their way in a democratic USA. President Obama should at least make a verbal comment on the issue and tell his administration to move forward in an effort to make justice for Americans a reality.
