Freedom to Play Poker Online: Obama Will Take Notice

A suggestion to Barack Obama to "let online poker players in the United States play legally and without fear of prosecution" that appeared on his "Citizen's Briefing Book" website has quickly been voted the second-most-popular idea and is promised to be seen by the President-elect.

"Please check out the Citizen Briefing website and voice their own opinion," a reader requested.

The site was set up by Obama's transition team and is designed to allow citizens to submit and promote suggestions about what issues the President-elect needs to tackle during his term, Pajich points out.

Poker and the online gaming sector as a whole is a multi-billion dollar industry, even though the current administration has made it difficult to join Internet poker rooms via credit card transactions. Obama himself is a poker player.

eejit would probably be happy if there were no restrictions on US players. There would be more donks for him to play against that way.
