OBAMA DESERVES THIS!

Atrios made him "Wanker of the Day" for not opposing the new FISA bill. Glenn points out that Obama's promise to work to take away telcom immunity is essentially an empty vow and Greg Sargent at TPM has a devastating critique:
Because if there were ever anything that would have tested his operating premise throughout this campaign -- that you can win arguments with Republicans about national security -- it was this legislation. If ever there were anything that deserved to test this premise, it was this legislation.

And this time, he abandoned that premise.

I do expect any political leader I support will occasionally let me down and I'm certainly not going to stop supporting Obama because of this but I will send him an e-mail letting him know I think his stance is mistaken.

Wanker of the day is a DEVASTATING indictment.

I think BO vote says he's not so concerned about you.

The Dem party's vote says they used you.

The democrats lied to you, they wanted this bill and they are patting their brow it came under a republican president in order to preserve their UCLU donations.

See, the dirty little secret is, the Jamie wall. They don't want you to know how much Jamie the democrat contributed to 9-11 and they sure as hell don't want the recorded briefings that they all briefed on this by CHENEY and they said everything was beautiful and when he asked if anything legislative needed to done and the dems said NO?

viola.

If you promise not to stop supporting him, why should he care about your complaints?

Wake up call: we can still nominate Hillary.

LMFAO!!! You wingnuts never give up on your old lies, do you? The mis-named Gorelick Wall had nothing to do with the failures on 9-11
