How do Obama's kids feel about nuclear weapons?

The courts are still immune to all this fearmongering so far.  That's our best hope.

As disappointing as Obama's vote is, I'm not really surprised.  No intelligence in voters almost always leads to no guts in politicians.  I had hoped Judge Vaughn Walker's July 3rd ruling (?  Decision?  Whatever.) would give the Senate some balls.  But nope.  They passed a 114 page bill I bet no one read in its entirety.  Of course, that criticism goes for opponents too, to a lesser degree.

"So much for change. Just the same old politician. A shame."

Of course he is! That's been the most annoying thing about Obama supporters (and the media). Sure, sell me on his ideas about fixing the economy, international issues, social issues, etc. But don't try to sell me on him being a different kind of politician...he's not.

"I wonder what kind of pressure/coercion he got to vote to give retroactive immunity to prior crimes by the telecommunication industry"

--------------------------

Some are calling this a win because, by voting yes, Obama has removed this as a wedge issue in the campaign.  That's supposed to give us hope that Obama's not really for it.  We don't KNOW either way, but if he voted for something to avoid making it an issue, he's not my kind of guy.  Probably still has my vote, but still.

Democrats: saving all their power-ups, special moves, and wand of fireballs charges for the Big Fight that never quite seems to materialize.
