The United States is fighting online casinos like it resembles the spread of Nazi Germany.  To be more specific this is the policy of the United States under the Bush Administration.  Many people expect that President-elect Barack Obama will be much friendlier to online casino.

Keeping online casinos out of the United States has caused our government to reinterpret language, break treaties, and generate an all out witch hunt; clear sign of taking the wrong side of an issue.

The Wire Act of 1961 clearly means nothing under this administration, or it simply means whatever they want it too.  The Wire Act has been used to pursue cases against online casinos, while the crime that the Wire Act was put in place to prevent, betting on horse racing over the phone and Internet, is being allowed to live on openly in the forms of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority and the Churchill Downs TwinSpires website. 

Even the international trade community is pursuing actions against the United States.  These blatant protectionist policies have incited actions against the United State from the Remote Gaming Association before the European Union and Antigua before the World Trade Organization.   Unfortunately, the Bush administration is all too familiar and comfortable with the having the international community oppose their actions. 

It is time for a change and Barack Obama does not have to do much to bring it.  American policy against online casinos is just one small example of how much the country has lost its identity under the current administration.  This policy of enforcing laws as the executive branch sees fit as opposed to the way laws are written is making the United States itself seem like Nazi Germany.
