Politics!

Thought I'd bring this thread back up.

So ... Obama likes FISA, huh? Retort, hipsters!

Berliner · July 11, 2008, 12:24 PM

Is that muslim president yet?

seanrush · July 11, 2008, 1:02 PM

He doesn't like FISA, but there needs to be a bill of the sort, and with FISA expiring, he voted for it at the last minute because it's better than nothing.

For the people who are now choosing not to vote for Obama now because of FISA, let me put it this way. Which would you rather have: a wiretapping bill and a president who probably won't use it, or the bill to expire and a president who will push a much much worse bill than FISA? I'd choose FISA and Obama personally.

This is going to be the tip of the iceberg of things you're not going to like about Obama from here on out. Now's a pretty good time to get out so you can tell people how you liked him before he sold out.

McCain looks like an old dork.

Looks like it's Biden

Obama is clearly in the pocket of Big Delaware

Oh, man, I was hoping it would be Biden! I've been to some Senate Foreign Relations Committee gearings, which Biden chairs. A lot of times, congresspeople seem to have no idea, or don't care, what the hearing panel (usually made up of academics) are saying, or just treat the whole thing like a photo op. Biden seems to be able to follow everything, and gets all the nuances. He also always seemed genuinely interested at being at the hearings and listening to what people have to say. It actually makes the hearings kind of interesting and fun, as opposed to the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearings where I want to kill myself.

Personally, I think Obama made a great choice.

Shut up, faggit!

This is a bad idea.

What is? Politics? I agree. I suggest that we move every politician to the island nation of Politico. And every time anyone has any aspirations of being a politician, we send them there. Eventually we'll be left with only a few people, but they will be the good ones!
