Bush website blocked outside US

Access to the site is blocked, Surfers outside the US have been unable to visit the official re-election site of President George W Bush. The blocking of browsers sited outside the US began in the early hours of Monday morning.

The blocking does not appear to be due to an attack by vandals or malicious hackers, but as a result of a policy decision by the Bush camp.

Hurray for Freedom!!

HA! That's funny...

So if people from outside the u.s. google "miserable failure", they get nothing...that's sad. At least they can still google "next president".

BTW...I think your signature is great...sums up the effectiveness of this ridiculous administration and its failed policies.

Bhudi,

Why do you think they did that? Do actually ever ask any questions or just know everything inherently, like smashed?

Well to be fair there were reasons at the end of the article that may explain why. Managing traffic could also be a good way
to ensuresite stay working in the closing days of the election. The site may see no reason to distribute content to people who will not be voting next week.

That is bullsh[u][/u]it.

Millions of dollars in campaign funds and they can't keep a website up world wide even with an understandable spike in traffic?

Pah-lease...that's just stupid.

I dunno, they might have Neanderthals like me running the computers over there. I can break anything technological in minutes without breaking a sweat.

Guess they don't want the troops to see the re-election site.

Not surprising.

Why does Bush hate the troops so much?

Hahahaha.
