Obama supports warrantless spying
Friday, July 4th, 2008Think Barack Obama is the anti-Bush? Check out how well he agrees with George W on warrentless spying. In response to widespread outrage among his liberal supporters, Obama has issued a statement to explain his support for the FISA reauthorization bill that legalizes warrentless eavesdropping already done by the Bush administration, and gives immunity to telecom companies who colluded with the White House to break the law.
Liberals were doomed to be disappointed, for two reasons: first, because Obama thinks he can get away with moving to the right, second, because Obama took money from telecom companies. And disappointed they are: Obama tarnishes his image as honest and sincere by dancing around the spying issue. He claims the bill is a “compromise,” as if that made it OK to reduce your right to communicate privately. But there’s no compromise, it’s a full surrender to the White House, and Obama is a liar.
