May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

White House Supression of Free Speech

White House blog by Norm Eisen, Special Counsel to the President on Ethics and Government Reform (emphasis added):

"First, we will expand the restriction on oral communications to cover all persons, not just federally registered lobbyists. For the first time, we will reach contacts not only by registered lobbyists but also by unregistered ones, as well as anyone else exerting influence on the process. We concluded this was necessary under the unique circumstances of the stimulus program."

This statement has to do with the (un)Stimulus Package. See, if you criticize Obama, not only will you be slandered (racist, bigot, homophobe) but now your speech (criticism) will be shut down altogether. How dare you question our Dear Leader!
