Obama problem?

Here's an article on the latest telecommunication immunization bullshit that the Bush Administration is trying to pass, and it seems that Obama is getting caught up in it.

Here's the problem. The Bush Administration decided to tap the telecommunication industry to illegally wiretap and basically fuck us all in the ass over the 4th amendment.

Then, to cover their own asses, they came up with a bill that protected all the companies that did the said fucking.

The problem is, and if you read the comments at the article, people are pissed off, and saying they aren't going to support Obama...

It's almost as if someone said "Obama has had intimate relations with his mother." At least, that's how they're reacting.

People, it's an election year. He's already against the war. He's for a better economy. He's for getting big oil to stop what they're doing. It would be very easy for anyone to spin that anyone against this bill is not for the protection of the United States.

Why isn't that clear to see? Sure, the bill is bullshit. Anyone with a pair of half glazed eyes can see that, and it's another step for the Bush Admin to distance themselves and the people who paid for their campaigns from prosecution in the future.

It's amazing how black and white people get during an election year. You KNOW McCain isn't going to go against this law. You know he's not going to go against the Bush Administration. So wake up!

More and more this blog (and it's so goddamn early to just say "Here's my choice") is going pro-Obama. And I don't want to just blindly follow someone. I want to be objective and realistic.

Although objectively and realistically, McCain is a nightmare.

But anyone who doesn't see that the fix is in, for a good reason, is blind to the black / white view that has damaged us these 8 years. And if you think this is the worst the Bush Administration has handed down, you should really look at the post I left earlier today.

Some things HAVE to happen. It's quite easy to understand. This is an imperfect world. There is no wand, there is no easy fix, there is no bright light at the end of the tunnel. The light is dull or semi-bright, depending on your perception, and the only thing we can do is fight, equally, together, to brighten it.

You don't like what Obama has to say? Write a letter. You hate this bill? Write a letter. Call you congressman. Look to the left, the numbers, the emails are all right there.

When I heard this law was being proposed, I thought my head was going to explode. It's as if they are checking to see exactly how little the average person notices.

This story has been all but buried, yet the news media should have it front and center. Should be on the front page, and on every network as an hour special, every day. In the past, wars have been fought for less. This is screwing with the Bill of Rights and the sheeple either don't know or don't care enough to react.
