It's certainly a fuzzy line. Like I said, there's no way to wall off politics from tech - many issues we discuss are inherently political, and in many cases a blanket refusal to discuss them would also be political.

This article clearly falls over that fuzzy line. It's not a discussion, or an analysis, or an evaluation of competing claims. It's not even an attempt to persuade. It's a call to action, a set of instructions from Mr. Obama on how to accomplish the political goals he presumes readers share. I do share his goals, and his instructions sound reasonable, but I don't see HN as an appropriate venue to publish them. Not every discussion forum should turn into a political action committee when there's important politics to be done.
