Don't worry, it will. Its hard enough to pass something even when all branches of the gov are for it. This basically means that we'll never see SOPA again haha.

Good to see something finally good from the White House. No matter if you're for or against Obama, he knows his interwebs, which is more than can be said for most politicians. And that's just what was needed to stop an "OVERREACH" act. Piracy is wrong, but so is overreach.

I guess SOPA is one of those "good intentions, but poorly made" ideas.

Absolutly. Maybe it could be revised or something.
