  1. Ron Meisels on Obama Losing Voters Over FISA Support · · Score: 1

    I've been a Obama supporter since the 2004 Democratic Convention and have been talking to many about how Obama is the change we needin government I religiously wore an Obama button everywhere and since I am white I had to withstand many racist comments and insults for my support. Unfortunately that support including my VOTE has just changed and I will probably vote for a third party candidate maybe Nader. The reason for this is Obama's recent Congressional vote on the FISA bill. I cannot believe Obama sold out to the corporate world and Washington Status Quo so easily. If Obama thinks he must reposition his viewpoints closer to center he is wrong. the closer to center that he moves the more likely he is to lose the election. Obama won the primary because Americans want CHANGE and Obama promised change. Allowing the government to spy on us without warrants and giving immunity to the telecommunications corporations as well as voting to end the discussion on the issue is in flagrant opposition to all the things he has been promising Obama is a hypocrite and I will now tell everyone I know that I have changed my position and no longer support Obama. I wish I would of voted for Hillary now because she and Schumer voted for the people of America on this important issue not in favor of policies carried out by the BUSH administration which are destroying our Constitutional Rights! Obama needs to strengthen his spine and speak out for the people at all costs and risk. Only in this way will he win. Too bad he is starting to look like a Kerry rerun If Kerry had the courage to stand up and say I will end the WAR and not espouse a surge and continued presence in Iraq he may have won but we all know history. Obama is on the threshold of changing history but if he back pedals and panders to the conservatives he will lose. McCain has most of the Conservative vtes already locked up we need the independents and the disenfranchised to rise and take this country back. From Obama's vote on FISA i can see that he is not up to the task now. I am mortified now about the future of the United States of America and though i have merely considered moving to Canada, I now think that it is a decision I must consider very seriously. Obama is a weak willed sell-out and America will not elect him if he continues to make hypocritical votes on the Congressional floor. My Obama button is now entering the garbage can as I end this letter Goodbye and Good Riddance Obama!
