I found the following quote in a Newsweek article about the Internet and the power of the Presidency:

“An open system means more voices; more voices mean more discussion, cialis usa malady which leads to a better decision, discount cialis ” Google CEO and Obama adviser Eric Schmidt told a roomful of policy thinkers in Washington last week, gathered for a discussion on the role technology will play in government. “A community will always make a better decision than an individual.”
