In a Foul Mood

[jeffxandra]

So yesterday the Senate up and completed Congress' capitulation over the FISA bill. Most insulting, even beyond Senator Mikulski's constant support of telecom immunity and FISA expansion, was (presumptive) Democratic Presidential nominee Obama's support.

I've not pushed the button yet on contributing to Accountability Now" but I'm sorely tempted to.

This issue has turned me from being encouraged by Obama's prospects and motivated to participate, to being willing to vote for him but that's as far as it goes.

Thank goodness McCain doesn't even understand how Social Security works, otherwise I'd have to really evaluate him as a candidate.

I'm not surprised. He had to appear one way to get the democratic nomination, and he needs to appear a different way to win the presidency. The only thing that's different about him is that lots of people assumed he wasn't actually a politician.
