Obama Flips on FISA

Another "proud" position of the Obamessiah is flipped to appeal to centrist voters while the lefties that got him nominated are thrown under the bus:

In his most substantive break with the Democratic Party’s base since becoming the presumptive nominee, Obama declared he will support the bill when it comes to a Senate vote, likely next week, despite misgivings about legal provisions for telecommunications corporations that cooperated with the Bush administration’s warrantless surveillance program of suspected terrorists. ….

This marks something of a reversal of Obama’s position from an earlier version of the bill, which was approved by the Senate Feb. 12, when Obama was locked in a fight for the Democratic nomination with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).

Obama missed the February vote on that FISA bill as he campaigned in the “Potomac Primaries,” but issued a statement that day declaring “I am proud to stand with Senator Dodd, Senator Feingold and a grassroots movement of Americans who are refusing to let President Bush put protections for special interests ahead of our security and our liberty.”

To his credit he is finally doing the right thing for the county, but you know his heart's not in it. And all those Obama-uber-alles lefties at DailyKos and other wacky sites that savaged Hillary and supported Obama should be especially proud that he's tossed their support and their favorite wacky left Senators aside like an old sock.
