Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sure-doesn't-help-my-opinion-of-him dept.

Corrupt writes "I've admired Obama, but I never confused him with a genuine progressive leader. Today I don't admire him at all. His collapse on FISA is unforgivable. The only thing Obama has going for him this week is that McCain is matching him misstep for misstep."

    This doesn't belong on Slashdot.

    That aside, how many times can the nutty article use the word 'progressive'? Can anybody define progressive? It seems to be a euphemism for 'European'.

    I was under the impression that Obama is not perfect but that he would always admit if he was wrong and quickly qork towards the right direction. I think this will be a big test of him in my eyes. If he never turns around on this issue it means he is clearly as stubborn as the rest. If he can admit he is wrong then hes better than someone who started out agreeing with me more.

    Wow. I guess John Kerry would be your dream politician. He's a master at changing his position. He'll 'work towards the right direction' multiple times ... on single issue!

    Answer me the same question for deserters.

    Besides, he is a politician. His word is worthless.
