…Senator Obama listens.

From DailyKos.com on Saturday at 8:45 a.m.:

Apparently, Even Barack Obama Thinks You’re Stupid by Hunter Sat Jun 21, 2008 at 08:45:08 AM PDTWe’ll include Barack Obama in the mix of politicians that apparently think all you who were following the FISA debates are as dumb as day-old pill bugs, and it’s depressing as hell to have to do so. He may be the Democratic nominee, but he can still write a milquetoast, self-congratulatory justification for choosing the easy way out with the best of them.You know, I don’t mind politicians not agreeing with me much of the time. Or most of the time. And at this point, I’m more than used to various parts of our Constitution being considered strictly optional, and being given away like beads at Mardi Gras.But it does grate, immeasurably, when they feed us bull and tell us it’s candy. I had hoped that, given the length of time it took Obama to come up with a statement, they were going to come up with something substantive. Instead, it appears they were using that time to come up with an assortment of logic-insulting bunk.

Quick…put out a press release, stat!

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., issued a statement in support of the House’s update of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but said he would try to strip a provision granting immunity to telecommunication companies when the bill comes to a vote in the Senate next week.The House approved a compromise bill Friday that would set new electronic surveillance rules that would also shield telecoms from lawsuits arising from their participation in the government’s warrantless eavesdropping on telephone and computer lines in the United States.

Oh, and Obama is black and has a funny name so, don’t pay any attention to this flip-flop.
