Where's the Promised Change

The United States was a globally focal point nearly a year ago as the battle lines were drawn and the race for the US presidency was in full force. The candidates were making their cases and making campaign promises. Barack Obama’s platform of “change” sold a lot of people. That is precisely what America needed after eight years of Bush in office. But the idea of change might be a bit more short lived than some in the online casino gambling industry had hoped. Although Obama made a point to note that he supported a free and open internet, eight months into the new year and the online casinos are wondering where that promise went.

There is certainly the consideration that President Obama cannot tackle everything all at once and the wars, economy, and health insurance reform have taken up a lot of focus and effort. But the online casinos are now coming to realize that Obama might not have been any better a choice than Bush when it comes to supporting an open, licensed, and regulated online casino gambling industry. Although the internet gambling issue in the states is really heating up, Obama has not come forward with any more mention of the industry nor his support of a free and open internet market.

The online casinos and internet gambling companies are feeling a bit lost now – where is the change that was promised with this new administration? Although Obama never openly supported the internet gambling industry during his campaigning, he did specifically talk about freedom from censorship online. But the Department of Justice is more active than ever and Obama’s promises are a bit of a distant memory. So much for change.
