- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -17/+169So....we should believe Obama will be against FISA, based on the fact that he voted FOR it?
- Surferess, on 07/23/2008, -10/+151FISA sucks! It did make me mad when Obama voted for it. I felt betrayed.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -9/+84I'm a Democrat but I'm pissed off about this.
- Plasmatica, on 07/23/2008, -20/+66Way to try and sway disgruntled voters. If only he could...oh, I don't know...not have voted for it in the first place? What a weasel. This is your so-called hero? This is your hope and change? You're all suckers.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -13/+54Hey Harry, if the bill was so *****, then why did you, Obama, and the rest of your cohorts vote in favor of it in a ***** landslide? Election purposes, you say? Wanting to appear tough on terror to pick up some votes, you say? Great...***** great.
***** on the American people for political gain....hmmm, where have I hear that one before.
Buried, in hopes that doing so will give Harry Reid a stroke and make him a burden on his family. - Dewhead, on 07/23/2008, -25/+64Wow, I can't believe some people believe this. Obama will vote whichever way he thinks will get him more political power. He doesn't have a single conviction or a belief that he will stand by.
- albinorhino101, on 07/24/2008, -12/+46*****, I can't believe any Obama supporters on Digg actually believe he'll do this.
- mdoverkill, on 07/24/2008, -5/+36You should feel betrayed. He's a constitutional lawyer. Obama, of all people should know better. But then again he was bought and sold a long time ago.
- mdoverkill, on 07/24/2008, -2/+27If he was going to draw fire from both sides, he still should've done the right thing. He should've stood up and said
"This Bill goes against everything the 4th Ammendment stands for, therefore I cannot support it. End of discussion" - ileftfark, on 07/23/2008, -9/+33He voted for FISA before he'll vote against it.
- mousers1968, on 07/23/2008, -8/+30So why wouldn't Reid revisit if McCain unfortunately won? Reid is something else.
- roho76, on 07/24/2008, -12/+33Why the ***** should we believe this douche bag? Has he ever told the truth? I can't think of any time in particular. Please someone educate me on this guy, cuz I don't care to look anything up on him.
- ahoyhoy1, on 07/24/2008, -9/+29Obama stands for change...changing things he voted for.
- iBeej, on 07/23/2008, -13/+32*****!!! Obama was saying the same thing before he got the nomination. So he got it, voted for FISA, and now he "promises" to revisit it? SHENANIGANS OBAMA (Say that 5 times fast)
- jimmyb3, on 07/24/2008, -7/+26Believe it - they have imbibed the Kool-Aid, and will eat every piece of BS Obama serves up and ask for seconds.
- TonyLocNE, on 07/24/2008, -8/+25Why do you even have to re-look at it? He NEVER should have voted FOR it in the first place.
Obama is also in favor of permanently reauthorizing the assault weapons ban.
Obama is not for the people, he's for perpetuating the status quo - Pyehole, on 07/24/2008, -1/+17I disagree. In my opinion, the ones that are actually aware of the issue are more likely to be upset by his position.
- TheKorn2, on 07/24/2008, -0/+16No way; Reid wouldn't be talking about FISA if it was a net gain. Reid is talking about it because it's caused a measurable drop in support.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -0/+16I'd be willing to bet you are wrong.
- InetRoadkill, on 07/24/2008, -3/+19He lost my support after FISA and I'm a cross-over repub. I'm also disappointed with his wishy-washy support for opening investigations into Bush's various criminal activities. Obama seems content to just let these guys walk off scot-free. I would have thought that one of his priorities would be to put the DOJ's house back in order and to begin prosecuting those who betrayed our trust in govt and made such an open mockery of the Constitution and the rule of law..
- stevensj2, on 07/24/2008, -6/+21Whats with this "I'll do ______ *if* you vote for me" *****?
And someone else saying it for him?
Let Obama make the right decisions initially to earn our vote, not betray us and beg for it on conditional promises. - 22magnum, on 07/24/2008, -12/+27What a load of *****.
- thepoliticalcat, on 07/23/2008, -15/+28I believe Obama will revisit this bill, and I believe that Reid (who is famous for backroom deals) made exactly such a deal with him. Other than FISA, Obama's positions agree with mine more closely than any other candidate (or would-be candidate), and I'm happy to support him. I also believe that he CAN be held accountable, unlike the current administration's crooks and liars.
- Marumekomu, on 07/24/2008, -12/+25A*pol"o*gist (#), n. [Cf. F. apologiste.] One who makes an apology; one who speaks or writes in defense of a faith, a cause, or an institution
- jimmyb3, on 07/24/2008, -5/+16That's an exaggeration, but I also believe Obama is just another politician with his finger in the air checking the wind's direction.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -8/+19I think that with some of the people on here, if Obama took a dump on their momma’s faces, they’d spin it and say he was trying to help her grow daises.
- Laorir, on 07/23/2008, -6/+17"We have to be adult and recognize that Obama voted for the slightly-changed FISA bill to neuter it as an election issue."
Sorry, I don't buy it. If he's going to make policies off of what he feels will get him elected, then he's no different than any other politician in D.C. - JekJob, on 07/23/2008, -8/+18Nader? pff, please...
- nontoxyc, on 07/24/2008, -7/+16OBAMA=EPIC FAIL
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -8/+17I agree with albinorhino101 . Do you really think he is going to do anything to reduce or limit his own powers? NO! This guy is a tool, people. It sucks so many of you think he is a savior of the nation, because he is most certainly not. he saviors of the nation have already been dismissed. Paul, Kucinnich, Gravel, etc. They are the only ones who care. The others are just puppets.
- Paramnesia, on 07/23/2008, -11/+20Dugg out of pity for the hopeful
- LordSkywalker, on 07/24/2008, -7/+16***** Obama. He's big government, just doesn't look as old or dumb as the rest of em.
- kittenman, on 07/24/2008, -5/+14Bull *****, if he really wants to "revisit" the bill why not just vote no!?
- kadio, on 07/24/2008, -3/+12You guys dig Marumekomu down, but he's right. Obama should NOT have voted for FISA. I don't know understand what he had to lose by standing for his principles? Hand jobs from the phone companies?? Even Hilary voted against it. I support Obama, but I won't forget or apologize for his vote on FISA.
- KyleGoetz, on 07/24/2008, -8/+17He did vote for stripping out the immunity provisions, but when that vote failed, he was left with a choice: pass the law as it is, or deny funding to police officers. Caught between a rock and a hard place, with one having his base call him a traitor or having the people he needs to attract a cop hater and terrorist sympathizer, he took the position that he had to take to get elected. You may call it politicking. I call it pragmatism.
When he gets elected, he may do something about FISA then. However, if McCain gets elected, you'd better believe there's no way McCain'd do anything about it. - ouzome, on 07/24/2008, -2/+10My question exactly. He is my least favorite senator of all time.
- damonic, on 07/24/2008, -1/+9As a previous financial contributor and Obama precinct delegate, the Obama campaign called me to ask for more money. I made it VERY clear that I will not donate because of the way Obama voted on the FISA bill. I'm sure the caller never told him why...
- jameskong15, on 07/24/2008, -2/+10Obama's camp promised to filibuster any bill that had immunity. He did not do this in the end.
- Lynx55, on 07/23/2008, -13/+21I think he will revisit it. If you remember correctly he said he had hoped he could change parts of the bill before it signed sealed and delivered. Besides guys, remember you are not going to find a candidate who will be 100% in lockstep with everything you want in a candidate for pres.! Everyone wants different things...it would be impossible. But for me, Obama has only disappointed on FISA....one thing. I certainly am not going to with hold my vote based on that. It would be beyond silly.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -1/+9"Felt" doesn't indicate that he feels differently, genius. If he said, "I used to feel betrayed". THEN you would have something to pick at in your petty whining.
- vexingmodstwo, on 07/24/2008, -4/+12Not surprising he gets Reid to do the sniveling bit for him... he's a pro.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -5/+12So his vote to extend the Patriot Act wasn't a disappointment? Duly noted.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -7/+14Uh, yeah. And OJ will revisit Nicole. Once you've done something horrible a trite indication that you might reconsider it in the future just adds insult to injury.
- KJSatz, on 07/24/2008, -0/+7Actually FISA is the Act.
- Metasquares, on 07/24/2008, -5/+12And why can we trust him this time?
- Hellman109, on 07/24/2008, -4/+11So he should have voted against it if 'both ways' were to get him in trouble.
If Im screwed either way, Id rather take the way I want to go.
And a person as president who cant stand up for themselves? yeah good one there!
Presidential hopefuls should NOT need apologists, it shows they are weak.
PS: both main candidates suck - Dibou, on 07/24/2008, -6/+13Obama votes against it ONLY because he thinks it helps him politically. He tells his supporters he'll revisit it to keep his sheep inline and they'll follow him.
What Obama will ACTUALLY do in office is anyone's guess because we have no idea what kind of person he really is. Well actually, we have an idea, and it is not good. - nihil, on 07/24/2008, -5/+12So much for Obama being an agent of change. Unless you think voting based on political expediency is "change."
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -6/+12i don't believe it
- NorthMass, on 07/24/2008, -2/+8And his vote to reauthorize spending for the Iraq war... twice.
