Barack Obama Conclusively Proves He Is Full of Shit
From Raw Story:
On a 69-28 vote, the Senate approved an administration-backed update to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act after striking down amendments to modify its immunity provision. Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) voted for the FISA update, while his former primary opponent Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) voted against it. Republican candidate John McCain skipped the FISA vote altogether.

An amendment sponsored by Sens. Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Russ Feingold (D-WI) to strip telecom immunity from an update to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act failed 32 to 66, although that was more support than the 31 votes a similar amendment received in February. The shift appears to be a result of Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) voting in favor of the amendment — she did not vote last time — and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) skipping the vote — he opposed the measure last time.
Recap: Obama supported an amendment to strip retroactive immunity, but then voted in favor of FISA anyway, even after said amendment failed to pass.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. We’ve been fooled again.
Hungry for more?
They’re grooming him for the club. Next thing you know he’ll be running around naked amongst the redwoods of Bohemian Grove with a bunch of Republican jackasses.
It’s funny, every year we see new and amazing improvements in medicine; new cures, new surgical procedures, and new lifesaving discoveries. However, we also see a backslide in civil liberties (i.e. the government deciding who I may or may not sue). It’s a great time to get sick but a horrible time to count on the constitution being respected. So is America.
