Wouldn't that be Xenophobic Internet Restrictions instead?

Your welcome to change it :)

Why not?

Because we'd all laugh at his stupid re-election campaign?

How pathetic can you get. Obviously George Bush has something to hide. Someone you can't trust..

Re: Racist Internet Restrictions
 

One excuse given was that they are trying to control the traffic going to the site in the run up to the election so that as many US civilians as possible that want to go to the site can. Maybe they can rent some webspace from I-Webb :D

Don't get too excited, this happens all the time. I want to access the Showtime website (www.sho.com website for set of American TV channels that do movies and special programs like HBO do), but it won't let me. I have thought about finding an open American proxy but just found it quicker to look elsewhere.

Bush is the most transparent, forthright, and one of the most written about people in the world today. What could his website tell you, that you couldn't find elsewhere? I think this more to do with the fact if they stop everyone else in the world from accessing its pages, it would vastly reduce the monthly transfer and bill. Make it faster etc for Americans.

And what about Google's cache, the Internet history archive, etc?

What could he want to hide that us Europeans know, that Americans don't? Given the amount and profile of Bush hating celebrities out there, if there was something like that, they'd let every man and his dog know about it. Fahrenheit 9/11 springs to mind.

Just another storm in a teacup. Things being blown out of proportion and somehow try and make Bush look more evil.

I did that to access the Showtime website a while back when that (short lived) show was on Sky One, err it was Sci-Fi, earth destroyed, etc. Cant Oddyseey 5?
