Senator Obama has lost my respect after his 'flip-flop' on the FISA Amendments Act of 2008. When I e-mailed his office, I did get a response. It was not the response I wanted or thought Senator Obama had been campaigning for-Change. So what is the change that Senator Obama promises? All I have seen him do, by altering his decision on this bill, is to run towards the middle to pick up as many votes as possible.

He should learn from his elders in the US Senate, such as Senator Durbin from Illinois who is opposed to the bill. Of course Senator Durbin is not trying to pander to receive votes either.

Obama's and Durbin's responses to me are at my blog. I don't mean to advertise, but you can click on my name and get there.
