The problem is it isn't just Obama. It's whoever comes after him too. Imagine the potential for misuse here. Are your opponents using the internet to coordinate efforts against you? Shut them down.

stand down peeps- leave it to prisonplanet to mislead via bad information.
The Act will provide a responsible framework, developed in coordination with the private sector, for the President to authorize emergency measures, limited in both scope and duration, to protect the nation?s most critical infrastructure if a cyber vulnerability is being exploited or is about to be exploited. The President must notify Congress in advance about the threat and the emergency measures that will be taken to mitigate it. Any emergency measures imposed must be the least disruptive necessary to respond to the threat. These emergency measures will expire after 30 days unless the President orders an extension. The bill does not authorize any new surveillance authorities, or permit the government to ?take over? private networks.
here's the specific text from the bill
threat averted.10 ??SEC. 249. NATIONAL CYBER EMERGENCIES.
11 ??(a) DECLARATION.?
12 ??(1) IN GENERAL.?The President may issue a

MYTH:
S. 3480 authorizes a ?kill switch? that would allow the President to shut down the Internet.
REALITY:
Rather than granting a ?kill switch,? S. 3480 would make it far less likely for a President to use the broad authority he already has in current law to take over communications networks.
Section 706 of the Communications Act of 1934 provides nearly unchecked authority to the President to ?cause the closing of any facility or station for wire communication? and ?authorize the use of control of any such facility or station? by the Federal government. Exercise of the authority requires no advance notification to Congress and can be authorized if the President proclaims that ?a state or threat of war? exists. The authority can be exercised for up to six months after the ?state or threat of war? has expired.
The Department of Homeland Security, in testimony before the Committee on June 15, 2010, indicated that Section 706 is one of the authorities the President would rely on if the nation were under a cyber attack.
S. 3480 would bring Presidential authority to respond to a major cyber attack into the 21st century by providing a precise, targeted, and focused way for the President to defend our most sensitive infrastructure.
? The authority in S. 3480 would be limited to 30-day increments and may be extended beyond 120 total days only with Congressional approval.
? The President must use the ?least disruptive means feasible? to respond to the threat.
? The authority does not authorize the government to ?take over? critical infrastructure.
? It does not authorize any new surveillance authorities.
? The President would be required to provide advance notice to Congress of the intent to declare a national cyber emergency or as soon as possible after a declaration, with reasons why advance notice was not possible.
? Owners/operators of covered critical infrastructure would be allowed to propose alternative security measures to respond to the national cyber emergency. Once approved by the Director of the National Center for Cybersecurity and Communications (NCCC), these security measures could be implemented instead of those previously required to respond to the cyber threat.
? Owner/operators that implement these emergency measures receive limited, civil liability protections for their actions.
MYTH:
S. 3480 would give the President the authority to take over the entire Internet.
REALITY:
S. 3480 would direct the President to set risk-based security performance requirements and, in a national cyber emergency, order emergency measures for our nation?s most critical infrastructure - those systems and assets that are most critical to our telecommunications networks, electric grid, financial system, and other components of critical infrastructure.
The bill authorizes only the identification of particular systems or assets ? not whole companies, and certainly not the entire Internet. Only specific systems or assets whose disruption would cause a national or regional catastrophe would be subject to the bill?s mandatory security requirements.
To qualify as a national or regional catastrophe, the disruption of the system or asset would have to cause:
? mass casualties with an extraordinary number of fatalities;
? severe economic consequences;
? mass evacuations of prolonged duration; or
? severe degradation of national security capabilities, including intelligence and defense functions.
The bill expressly prohibits the Secretary from identifying systems or assets as covered critical infrastructure ?based solely on activities protected by the first amendment of the United States Constitution.? This prohibition would also prevent the identification of specific websites for censorship.
The owners/operators of covered critical infrastructure identified by the Secretary could appeal the inclusion of the particular system or asset on the list through administrative procedures.
The list of covered critical infrastructure would be developed collaboratively, working with the private sector.Comment

If the internet shut down for even a second, there would be chaos. So many businesses, including utilities, and government rely on the internet functioning reliability. Many people would die.
With that said, what the proposal speaks of is shutting down small portions of the internet, such an ISP in a particular city. Not the entire country.
And moreover, it's likely even where internet access is "shut off", communications would still be possible for the authorities, utilities, hospitals, etc. Akin to how rolling blackouts are handled - to digress, folks who live in areas where rolling blackouts are common, but happen to be on the same grid as a hospital, police station, etc often still keep their power on - but not in the future, since smart meters allow remote cutoff of individual customers. Yeah for technology
The elites know their history ... "bread and circuses" - make sure the populous has food and entertainment. Turning off the internet equals riots and brings to mind the French Revolution.
