Obama Responds to FISA Protest on His Web Site (Another Obama change)

After a protest group gained prominence on Senator Barack Obama’s own campaign Web site, the candidate has written a response to those who object to his support for the current compromise legislation in the Senate on immunity for telecoms. The long note explaining his position appeared on his campaign Web site this afternoon, and several of his policy staff members answered questions in the comments section for about 90 minutes. Though Mr. Obama did not change his position in response to supporters’ objections, the mere fact of his response, as well as the choice to put it on his own site, is a remarkable illustration of the power of online organizing. “This was not an easy call for me,” Mr. Obama said in a statement posted to the diary of Joe Rospars, a top Internet adviser to the campaign. “I know that the FISA bill that passed the House is far from perfect.”

Barack Obama - a man of change - many, many changes.

As the good Rev Wright says - Obama’s just another politician, saying what he has to say to win the primary, and now to win the election (the so-called “move to the center”). Hard to tell what he really believes, and what switcheroo he’ll pull if he wins the office. Even harder, since most of his legislative votes are “present.” Slippery fellow.

Rev Wright sure knows his parishoner, which is inexplicable given how infrequently Obama attended. :)

No, not hard at all! he will sign ANY and EVERY bill sent to his desk with a democrat majority approval. Absolutely ANYTHING!

Kinda like GW Bush did with the Republican majority, come to think of it - and that is why we are where we are today!

"There appears to be no issue that Barack Obama is not willing to reverse himself on for the sake of political expedience. This is the change he promised , This reality of his so called change, shows him to be a typical lying liberal politician."

"You can be sure there will never be any clear answers from Obama on any critical issue. He is quite comfortable taking positions that contradict each other. Sadly, his inconsistent and dishonest positions are perfectly acceptable to his Obamabot cult members, who blindly follow him."

Instead of the change candidate, Hussein ObamaMessiaHamas, will be known as the Ooops Uh Flip-Flop Candidate, who couldn't tell the truth!

Quit your whining about my Flip Flops, Waffling and Lies, you God Loving, Gun owning and Bitter White Racist Patriots!

Damned Pajama Media. They won’t let me get by with my lies and flip flopping.
